which i believe shall be the only launch specification- should produce 0-60 in 4.2 and 1/4 mile in 12.5 at about 115 mph.
what say you folks?

may the god of quattro hear you brother.
i could see a powered up RS4 engine making 450 hp or but not much more. that engine is almost maxxed out. the DSG is at least a year away IMO.

Your prognostication is...
...<font color="003366"> <i>half</i> right. Of the engine/transmission combo you only hit one on the head. The other was miles off. Still, if we were talking baseball you'd be batting .500.</font>

Re: Your prognostication is...
assuming you meant maaliish's post i believe I am right. no DSG and a souped up RS4 engine. titanium connecting rods with a 9000 RPM limit pushing 450 hp in the RS4 engine. any takers?

lol...I wonder which one I got right....hopefully its the engine, cause if they
plan on sticking in an RS4 engine in there, it will be a shame unless there are more engine choices. Plus having a manual tranny would also be nice.
