The 420 hp figure is crank horsepower, you will dyno less to your wheels as a result of drivetrain loss. Most car manufacturers measure horsepower at the motor unless otherwise stated.

^ seems about right. quattro losses about 25% through the tranny

Guys, its actually around 245kw atw, at least australian models. or 331 bhp whichever you prefer. Awesome for a quattro drivetrain, 20-30% loss of power.
300 whp sounds kinda low. I was at Waterfest Saturday and a kid with a 04' S4 pulled 290 whp on the dyno with just a cat-back exhaust. That would put him at about 348 hp at the crank.
