170hp stock out of a turbo charged engine?? Give me a break...thats weak :)
There are a lot of those ugly 4 cylinder rice burners pushing close to that amount with out being turbo charged. The stock A4 engine should have come with at least 200hp..if not WAAAY more. I'm not even going to go into the 2.7T V6 engine pushing only 250hp, BI TURBO! that should be pushing upwards of 300 in my opinion. Maybe they should have put the engines they have now, in all the VW's, like they pretty much already did...and put a 1.8T 200+hp 4 cylinder STOCK in the A4 and a 2.7T V6 bi turbo 300+hp stock in the S4 and A6. I know you can chip it and get these results...but they should have these results stock...and i know they would lose more money putting different engines in their line of VW's and Audi's, but i dont like VW's, and dont think they should come this close to performing like the luxury side of the company, Audi.

Twin Turbo 2.7, 17 inch wheels, 6-speed, leather, bumbers etc ... get the picture? ...
Seriously though, the stock sound system is really bad. I will try to get something done about it on my first service.
The car should come with a more aggresive chip + exhaust combo from the factory.
Sport suspension should be standard and a more aggressive setup as an option.
Teach my wife how to drive a 5-speed rather than opt for the Tiptronic (she only drove it 3 times since July anyway)
