No it's not. You're not giving the Aston enough credit (which seems to be a common malady when it comes to performance 
). The Audi will obviously launch harder with its all-wheel-drive traction, so it has the edge in the ever-popular 0-60 figures, but the V8V is going faster at the quarter mile, which is less dependent on the launch. Of course, the Aston doesn't have the mid-range torque of a turbo car (which also makes the V8V feel less quick), but use the gearbox and the Aston is the quicker car -- certainly not a "fair bit slower."
Enjoy it. It's a wonderful car, and it's faster than you think

If I can increase the 0-60 times, handling and braking I think i'm going to really enjoy the Aston more. I won't ever take it on the track but I didn't buy it for that. I'm buying another car to track instead.

0-60 improvement - wait for Bamford Rose to come state side or supercharge it
Handling - get the sport pack retrofitted and the Vantage S steering rack
Brakes - get the Vantage S 6 pot fronts retrofitted (Brembo Gran Turismo kit IIRC)
