I just don't care for the torque that it gives up for a street car. Sure at WOT above 5k rpm it definitely makes more steam, but when you are part throttle torqueing the engine through the gears I don't see an advantage here. Midrange is very important imo for a street car. If only this unit was keeping the torque up around 570 avg while still pulling 600whp.

Another thing to note is power loss from shift extension. All gears except 3-4 on a A8 drop back to around 5k rpm with a 64-6500rpm shit. So you would be dropping down to 510whp/528wtq on the gear changes. M6 cars would be even lower. I would think a 2300 making 540/550 would be just as fast. In for track times.
