Thanks for the response. You gotta love that German Engineering!

my vette generates 375 ft/lbs of torque at 6k rpm. It's optimized for 3rd and 4 th geer.

The G2 modified 2.8L is rated by PES at 265 ft-lbs and 290 hp at (I think) 5800 rpm. Some of the guys who've had access to a 4 wheel drive dyno (Mustang) have gotten results that are quite a bit less.

The A4 Quattro is heavy--around 3400 lbs, I think. Supercharged, it moves, but I'm OBVIOUSLY envious of your 375 ft-lbs!

My wife is looking at an '04 Maxima with a 3.5L normally aspirated V6. 265 hp. That SOB smokes, even with the excellent 5 sp auto trannie. I'm not sure I want her to buy that car though. She drives it like a crazy woman.
