[s-cars] The UrQ is back...in the form of a TT RS?

[Taka Mizutani]

I don't know what Vipers you're listening to, but an SRT-10 with sidepipes
has basically two I-5 exhaust systems- they sound a lot like an Audi engine.
My V70R also sounds reminiscent of the Audi I-5, except that I have stock
exhaust, so it's pretty quiet and hard to tell what it sounds like.

I'm in Philly, Joe, not Washington. :-P
