To whoever wrote this...

You obviously know very little about the in line 5 that Audi produced.  
Stretch the poor in line five to 150 hp?  You can get a NA inline5 10v well 
over that with some work, and a 20v is easy to push over 200hp.  Second 
thought...

With well over 250 hp, how exactly do you plan on driving this fwd monster?  
Last time I checked, EIP turbo VR6's had a nasty habit of breaking the stock 
driveshafts, which are much beefier than mid eight's audi 4 cyl. action.  
Also, ever hear of torque steer?  If not, go drive a late eighties Taurus 
SHO.  Or a Camry V6.  Before you concentrate of blowing hp figures, figure 
out if you can drive the car with that much horsepower.  At Limerock Park, 
CT., stock engined coupe GT's set up to race turn 1:04's.  Which, by the way, 
is faster than 300+ hp 944 turbos.  Don't believe me?  I'll take you there, 
and you can check it out.  It's also about 15 seconds a lap faster than a 
stock A41.8Turbo can muster.

All from an "unstretched poor old 5 cylinder".

Later!
