The 3.6 as found in the Audi V8 made 240hp stock.  The 4.2 was something
like 278hp.  In the A8, the 3.7 made 270hp whereas the 4.2 got 300hp in
the 4-valve version and 310hp in the 5-valve, and 360hp in the 5-Valve S8.
These are US models' numbers.

The Audi V8 engines are not lacking in torque.  They are normally fitted
to fairly massive cars, in virtually all cases via slushboxes which make the
acceleration numbers less than what you might expect.  In a lighter car
with a manual tranny, the V8 should be quite the beast, albeit not very
tunable without high costs.

SJM's web site http://www.sjmautotechnik.com has some hp/torque curves
of various engines (under Audi Performance Data).  Check it out.
