Thank you!!!!

I've gotten over 500 HP out of 2.0 turbo cars with just bolt ons

Looks like Audi get's some pretty good performance out of their 4.0TT.

Pretty good is definitely an understatement. The times that beast is putting down are ridiculous.

Too bad it looks terrible and costs more then a GTR, just when I thought Audi's were all good looking too

This. I don't know why people are complaining so much. Still got that V8 exhaust note, better mpg, same (or better) hp and torque, and the ability to make loads more with just exhaust + tune. Also, lighter and better weight balance. I guarantee it will be a "better" car all around.

It depends...
The 3.8l 911 Turbo S redlines at 6800rpm. The 4.0l 911 GT3 redlines at 8500rpm. The bigger, normally aspirated motor in this example revs much higher.

Well that's a race car engine in the GT3 haha

But that is why I said they tend to rev higher, there are always exceptions.

Honda S2000 being one of my favorites
New M3 revs pretty damn high too

IMO, the car sounded like CRAP in the video!!! I really hope they tune the sound on the new M3 as the car in the video sounded liked a Civic with a fart can.

MB should squeeze the 5.5TT into that baby and let it eat M3s for breakfast.

I've read on a couple sites that this is the plan... if so... a chip and 3" exhaust would make this thing absolutely fantastic

This will not be a problem. BMW is dedicated to true performance. So, they will likely record the engine at all rpm levels in a lab and then pipe that noise through the car's stereo system. This will dramatically improve the driving experience.

If Chevy can do it then why not AMG?? I wish they would have just revised the M156.
