WHen Autocar UK tested the Audi RS2 (300++ bhp, i think, with 4WD) back in 1994 (there or thereabouts, dont remember the exact dates), the road testers didnt know what would be the best way to launch the car to get the quickest acceleration times for publication. So, they place a call to Ingolstadt, and through an interpreter, ask the engineers what was the best way to do this. The reply?
"Rev it up all the way to the redline, engage gear, drop the clutch, and hang on." To which Steve Sutcliffe replied "Are you f***ing kidding me?". The interpreter replies "They're German engineers. They dont know how to make jokes." Hehe.
