Default Just a Question?

I see some have posted a few possible issues with maybe the factory tune? and some here are not happy with the straight line performance along with roll racing performance? Do any of you think GM will start making changes with the factory tune on the new A8 car that will be coming out shortly?
I will be buying around Feb or March an A8, The few negative posts are not keeping me away. Just curious if GM will make a few tweeks? To me this is one of the best looking cars on the road and I will bet GM will make a few small changes and the Z will get revenge on some of these videos I have seen.On a track or straight line, Just my opinion and thoughts. Congrats to the members here who actually own one.

You may be the first to give us a 'real world' review with some actual miles past break in. Look forward to hearing what if any power/performance difference you have experienced.

I only have about 250 miles on mine so far but I absolutely love it.
