V6 TT, now $$$$

Saw the article in Motortrend, Bug does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Well, it is also AWD using, yes, the Audi TT Haldex system.
So, I sent them an email and got the costs, $34K and you to can have a 6 Cylinder, 2.8L, twin turbo 500HP TT. Link enclosed to article and HPA home page is ; http://www.hpamotorsport.com/<ul><li><a href="http://www.motortrend.com/june01/beetle/beetle_f.html">http://www.motortrend.com/june01/beetle/beetle_f.html</a</li></ul>

Ohhh....yum yum....I love this line

"And in case you suspect a TT driveline can't handle 500 horses, HPA has confirmed Audi AG's testing of it up to 800 hp without failure"

Good gawd....I'd better get on the phone before someone else here does :)

"Everything hooked up and VeeDub's blunt nose rose up 3 in. and stayed there the entire way down the quarter mile. Our best 0-60 run of 4.25 sec is the quickest we've seen this year, with a less impressive quarter mile of 12.99 sec at 102.41 mph."

Hmm... unique? - yes, worth it? - I dunno..

Just talking about straight line power here, an S4 at Stage 2+ would be in the flat 13 second range on the 1/4 mile. That kind of money put into a TT would be unique, but still won't be the 'fastest'
