I drive a 16v ACE in my coupe that has been tuned and running straight through exhaust. It is by far quicker than my 2.6 V6 avant, but this is a cruising vehicle and I don't wish to kick the ass out of it. The 2.0 8v is ok but not in the heavy Audi's. In the mk2 golfs I preferred the 1.8 8v to the 16v kr. Much more responsive low down and with a 272 cam it redlined all day long.
I see these Audi's as cruising mobiles, I don't think they are built for thrashing. Even in the S2's you have to think about the corners etc and are not as poised as the light hatchbacks.

Your comparing apples with oranges ie ACE and BMF.
A standard 16v ACE needs to be revved hard to get it's 0-60 time of 9.6 where as the V6 is quicker to 60 (check the figures) and soooooooooo much smooooooother.
What's your modified ACE 16V Coupe pumping out?
