I will let you know then. I would imagine it couldn't be too bad though, honestly you can't go much higher than 3k lanuch with the fwd and turbo, so I am guessing if you mashed it quick enough, it might rev up to just about that anyways, but who knows.

That's for the V6. We are talking about the 2.0T.
