[Fwd: Re: [s-cars] RS2]

[Jim Bonnet]

I got this in my email as a response to my rs2 comment.... Someone
please tell me my assumption is wrong.. Didnt someone in the UK make a
500hp AAN motor? And was it not recently detailed in the URQ special in
Audi Driver..

Matt says we will never get more than 315hp out of an AAN? Im a relative
HP dork running a stock AAN but.. Arent Brian B, Chris L, Frank and Hap
making 315hp? I thought so.. I already said Im a dork ;)

Thanks.
Jim

Jimmy,

Bear in mind that you'll never get 315hp out of the AAN engine. And as
an RS2
owner, I don't think I've ever met a sedan that could match the
acceleration of
my car, whose stock, for now. I would say that it is a lot of money
spent for
not much as you can get 280 hp very easily with a good chip, like MTM.
Anything
after that is useless IMO.
But then that's my 0.02p
