RE: A4 Race Question

Pretty respectable?  It's pretty close to "blood from a turnip" if you ask
me :)  So when are they going to start releasing that engine variant as an
option in the A4???  I'm sure it wouldn't ever show up in the U.S.
regardless...damn European only....:)

The super touring A4 race cars do have 4-valve (rather than 5-valve) heads.
296hp sounds about right.  Remember, these are normally-aspirated cars,
no turbos here.  296hp from a 2.0 liter NA four is pretty respectable.
