They do not impress me at all and are certainly not fast cars. They have some quickness in a very short spurt when they're all wound up. To get that little bit of quickness, you really have to work the little engine very hard. After a couple years of that (or less), it's all ragged out. ...and the best you will have done is to maybe stay close enough to the back bumper of a stock LS1 (A4 2.73) for a little while. Or you might be able to barely beat a sick one (an LS1 with many miles and has been abused).
