Re: [ST] New Daytona

[Thomas Emberson <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

I like it, and the colo[u]r works as well, hmm, now if they would
put that engine as in into the s3, life would be good!

How agressive is the tuck on the Daytona, specifically how much is
the knee bent?

Hmmm, this summer ST, next summer Daytona, hmmm. Anyone want to by
an Audi TT roadster, 3100 miles?
