I accidentally tried to shift into reverse in the farm ute once (2006 Mazda BT-50) at about 80km/h, because reverse in that car is where sixth is in mine.

I normally agree, but I think it actually works much better on a carbon-fibre racecar.

MAXIMUM NP.

And Audis handle

Own an Audi, can confirm.

What you’re talking about is ‘An Audi’, and yes, they are.

Panamera is also very genetically close to the Audi A6/A7 platform.

I suspect that the max speed is 155, like most other Audis.

I hear, having of course NEVER tested myself (because that would be illegal!) that an ‘03 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro will do 118mph. After that, the person testing it (again, obviously not me - what do you take me for, some kind of hoon?) ran out of road. The thing was still accelerating hard, though.

Really? I find this thing pretty sexy. I especially like the fact that it looks long and low and wide, despite its ride height.

3.2 in an RS7 feels similar. Modern cars are crazy-fast.

COTD

Audi’s automatics are pretty good. In sport mode, the six-speed on my parents’ A6 Allroad is very good, and the ZF eight-speed on the RS7 that I sat in a while back was incredible (the thing shifted like a damn DCT).

Fuck no. My uncle owns an ML350.

As an Australian, we don’t get any, so...

SRT-8, turbo, wreck face in a straight line. Just hope that you don’t need to corner...

Having driven in some extremely high-powered cars, in anything with over 400HP, I’d want an automatic. The RS7 I was driven in once burned through first gear in well under a second; you’d spend more time shifting than you would accelerating, unless you had a stupidly long and impractical first gear.

Holy shit, Space Marine is old now? I remember playing that when it came out!

This would be the first time I’ve ever decided to CP anything just by looking at the header image.

Odd. I have the biggest sense of deja-vu reading it. Not in a broad sense (you get heaps of comments like this on any Tavarish article), but in a specific sense (the wording is incredibly familiar).
