But you can keep it floored and flap away. It also smart enough to know as you come to a stop or slow down enough, it downshifts for you. Had 20 inch wheels too. It revs to 8400 rpm, a V8. So much like a 4 cylinder bike, it needs revs to make power. Audi spec TQ is 320 or so with HP at 450...I think they under rate them both. Its documented to do 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds, spec is 4.2. Only worry I have is the carbon buildup issues, but this RS engine does not seem to suffer from that typical Audi FSI direct injection engine.
