A4 Super Car

["Tony McNamara" <tonym@BVU.SCSCOM.COM>]

Whoa!!!  This is not the same engine!

The A4 comes with an Audi V6, not a Volkswagon VR6 V6.  The 
difference is substantial - slightly different displacement (although 
both are close to, and are called, 2.8L), different peak torques 
(although both put out 172bhp).  

Drew at EIP (yes, I actually called them to stop this misinformation 
flow, because I figured you wouldn't believe me otherwise) says that 
they hope to have a kit out by mid- to late-summer.
