a major mechanical over rev like that is hard on an engine; even tho it didn't blow up right then (honda motors are good! if that was a bmw or porsche it probably would have bent all the valves), it certainly took some life out of the engine. smart move would be to replace all the valve springs and retainers and keepers, and replace the rod bolts (I bet they stretched).
the TTS has so many advantages in this 'races' its comical. first its damp and the audi is awd. no chance for the fwds in a dig. secondly the TTS has a very good DSG gearbox; again the honda with the traditional manual is giving up a tenth every single shift. now don't get me wrong one of the reasons i bought my CTR was for the manual gearbox!!! but in the real world a good DSG or PDK trans is always faster/better. it's just not more fun lol!
