I wonder, how much more time it'll take the Audi engineers to realize that a huge V10 mounted in front of the front axle compromises the handling a tad...

Is the kerb weight 2.2 tons? Bloody hell, so actually it's not much faster than a stage1 Cossie from 20 years ago? Only that the Sierra will handle much better with modern suspension upgrades as it hasn't got a freak layout like the Audi and only weighs half as much.
