At a light three lanes merging into two. The A8 (twin turbo V8) came flying up on third lane (there was nobody behind me). Open road for about half a mile in front of us. The light turns green and we floor it and he couldn’t catch up. May have taken him by surprise because he probably thought “old Audi”. I think those cars are faster (he may not have been on it in the beginning). He was pacing me a bit and then gave a thumbs up before turning off.

Dont usually do this but I thought this was a good opportunity to see how the old girl held up vs newer cars with similar power.

Somewhat similar experience with newer S550... he was surprised too.
