It is a bit ass backward to spend millions of dollars and time to develop an engine/transmission that optimized the RPM and varied the tranny, only to toss it all because it didn't make the right "Vroom, Vroom" sound.<br>You'd think it would be easier to place a decent quality speaker under the drivers seat that played the appropriate sound. You could even customize the sounds. For instance it could sound like a whining baby.."Waaaaa, (shift), waaaaaa, (shift), waaaaa" Or maybe be the stuff of practicle jokes... The new Audi whoppie rev.."pppppffft..."<br>well you get the idea.<br>kjbeaulieunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373365004388163061.post-79597232035956296132002-06-05T04:39:54.000-07:002002-06-05T04:39:54.000-07:00Ah, that clears things up.

Don't they know how dangerous they can be to the consumer?<br>Look what happened during user trials the first time they were deployed! The principle designer had to be sedated and confined to a loony bin after his Multitronic enhanced vehicle killed hundreds.<br>I can't believe that Audi could be so wreckless as to try this dangerous technology again.<br>Mark VandeWetteringhttp://vandewettering.netnoreply@blogger.com
