Minor quibble :-)  This should be "Intended Acceleration".

Ned is probably honest in all these claims, but...  With this much
more power, the handling of the front-drive turbos (quattros excepted)
will likely become a real handful.  Also, I would worry a little about
the longevity of the engine, turbo, cooling system, and drivetrain;
especially if you're a leadfoot.

The prospect of having 60+ more horsepower in my 5000 turbo is still
very appealing, though.  The price is a bit prohibitive for me at this
point.
