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

[Cody Forbes]

I'll second that. A tuned Viper sounds absolutely 100% identical to my  
'fast' 5ktq from many first hand experiances racing door to door with  
them. Yes you can tell between a 10v and a 20v Audi engine, but dammit  
they both sound great! Taka is right on with the S70 too, Ive heard  
one with open exhaust and it sounds very very very much like a clip  
from a group b video.
