2008 Audi TT Roadster w/DSG 2.0t FWD (bummer no AWD)

used 05 - 06 BMW Z4 3.0i (standard RWD w/manual)

Keep the Honda S2k for the long haul

Also, the mk1 was only a 25hp difference between the HO 1.8t and the 3.2.

pay 40k for a car (roadster 2.0t fwd) and then turn around and pay:

*600 for chip
*200 for rear sway
*100 for upgraded DV
*400 for Samcos
*time to bake headlight to remove amber reflector
*1500 for KWs to lower the ride (Sline upgrade not good return for the $$$)
*250 for Modshack BM
*2000 for cat back or Turbo back exhaust
*250 for 3.2 rear valence

By this time I could have put a SC on the Honda and then some.

According to 2553's rundown of the MK2's power plant plan, these versions will be offered during its life cycle:

200hp 2.0T FSI FWD
230hp 2.0T FSI Quattro
250hp 3.2L V6 Quattro
302hp 3.6L FSI V6 Quattro

Sure, 2953 posted it. But I never saw an introduction date for the 230 hp 2.0T or the 302 hp 3.6, let alone US intro dates. Or did I miss that post?
