I never said it was slow beyond 60 mph. I just said slowER than a lighter car with more wheel hp and torque. And yes, the drivetrain losses from an AWD car are higher than a FWD or RWD car.

Audi is quattro actually which means AWD only when it needs it then its FWD. Engine compression ratio can be a factor too. Launch control with AWD is a factor too. Funny you threw the magazine facts out and now that someone trumped your mag with another mag you want to play physics now. My chipped 2.0T K03 turbo (smaller than K04) FWD (not quattro) TT (not TTS) did 0 60 in 5.5 secs on the street.
