I have been waiting for someone who wanted to actually talk about this rather than just compain or doubt. Cudos!
YES, 500HP is gonna cost a lot. What TT didn't have to pay some $$$ though to get to 500 from 300? Also, if you check out that link at the beginning of my post, you will see some of the advantages of using the N/A tranny. !/4mi. times of 13.1 and 115mph! On stock turbos! If I sell my N/A(which I dont want to do) and buy a clean, low mileage TT(which I can't find) then I still dont get those times on stock turbos.
Oh, and we cant forget that I have a slicktop!!!
Don't you wish your car was as cool as mine? wait...it is? Go to hell then!
