And then we have this crap of "Well my N54 makes just as much power with a tune and bolt ons".

Seriously?

We are talking about an out of the box car with a full warranty that will likely put down 400-430whp. Great, an N54 with downpipes, tune, FMIC, TBE MIGHT crack 400whp. But are we assuming the aftermarket is just going to ignore this S55 which sounds like an N54 dialed up to 11?

I foresee this car being comically easy to crack 500whp. Should only take a tune and TBE, about $1500-1800. Sounds good to me.
