I think its released in January. Surprisingly, from the January Motortrend article, a tuner has 3 packages available for the R32 for tuning.

Stage II is incredible - 0 to 60 in 3.2 sec, 1/4 mi in 11.4 seconds, top speed of 202mph, on 19.5psi boost via twin KKK K04 turbos/intercoolers, and other mods......all on pump gas and awd. Supposedly very streetable, with a calmer idle than stock.

The package will set you back 25K, (50 to 55K including the car) - not bad, considering you need to spend 100K more for a tuned porsche turbo to equal that performance.

Checkout HPA's website - http://www.hpamotorsports.com

 

wow...3.2 seconds is faster than the friggin enzo

 

19.5psi!!! I wonder how long before the motor gernades.

 

HPA Stage 2+ engines will not be happy on 91 octane. Canada (i think) still gets 94 octane. I drove a HPA Corrado in Ohio with 400hp and was astonished with how much pull the car had on the highway. From a standstil the car would turn into a smoke show if you put your foot in it. They do great work with fit and finish.

 

Have you guys seen the 1/4 mile video?
Is it on their site Shank? If not I can dig it up for you.

 

I have a buddy that sold one of his old carrera's to buy the R32. I heard that they are going to be comming out with a turbo model in about a year. I saw on over in Holland about two months ago. Little car with slick interior. I heard or TT VR6 motors with well over 500 hp.

 

The R32 will have same V6 as the CAYENNE V6.

 

I see you are getting one, will you put a stage II or III in it.

Shank, your garage has become my favorite! Those are some sick cars you are getting.

 

Here's an interesting article ....

mehrabani1 is right - Shank, that is one SICK garage!! What the heck do you do to have the pleasure of that many sweet rides?

 

(bump)

Shank - just ready your profile - no relation to Ravi or Anoushka? Dude - what's your 'job' that you can afford such an AWESOME garage like that? You seem to be all of like 22 from your profile!

I see you play violin...we have something in common - I'm a cellist.

 

Shank, slight hi-jack.

Do you know of any other MB forums?

MBworld went slightly downhill IMO, I believe you were a member there. Also vwvortex.com forums are the best vw forums that I know of (if you didn't know already).

 

Frosty try and get your crew over to the mb/amg board we have below - needs a little action
