I agree with you on 5th and 6th, but I don't see a difference in 3rd and 4th, I actually think those are more drawn out that the A10 than my A8

Really? Looks like about 90 for 3rd, and about 112-114 for 4th. My A8 V6 sees about 96-98 for 3rd, and 125 in 4th.

Actually you can check out some videos on YouTube, and you'll see what I mean. So it does appear that the A10 does in fact offer a better overall gearing profile than the A8. Combine that with a no shudder issue, it's a substantial improvement if you ask me.

In your video it's amazing how tight 5th and 6th are. Keeps you much more in the powerband than the A8. It looks like you could easily hit 155 given a little more room. Now you got me wanting to try a top speed run in mine lol

You suppose the two dudes that launched the 2010 Porsche Boxster into the second story of that building recently in New Jersey were making a video like this? At least they took nobody else to the grave with them.
