Kevin-

I expected you to stay in the VWAG family. But it does illustrate the 
fact that (at least in the US) VWAG doesn't produce any high 
performance cars (stock from the factory). I don't know about what 
options the TT will have in the future, but from the looks of it, a 
stock Audi TT coupe would be spanked by any stock VW VR6.

Doesn't Audi know that Americans would love to get their hands on 
some S4/S6/S8 models? An Audi STT, perhaps? (sport TT) I couldn't be 
happier with buying my Jetta. I love the mods I've done to the car, 
but quite frankly, I'd rather just buy a car that has it all done for 
you before you actually buy the car.

(PS, IMO, I'd add about $50,000 to any car I'd buy over $100,000 
because I just couldn't go out and drive a Ferrari F50 as a daily 
driver. I'd pick a "cheap" car like a M3 for that, and use the 
Ferrari on special occasions. ;)
