This is a very impressive setup. Congrats to GTM and the owner for a truly unique build. I have to say, though, that it's hard to justify the cost for this build over the TT kit based on the numbers alone. My guess is that the additional displacement and SC will give this car better transient response than a TT and better very-low-end grunt, but it's clear that the TTs can still meet or exceed its torque from about 4000 RPMs to redline. Of course, judging by the build, I don't think money was an object so it's awesome to see something different. That engine is truly a work of art.
