Needless to say, I absolutely adored my B5, and already emailed my salesperson to put me on the list to dump my B7 for the B8. The V8 is great but it just isn't powerful enough and as the article said, very limited tuning potential.
I will take a well maintained & tuned 2.7T over the 4.2 any day, and this is based on real ownership experience, not "theory"
