Stock C6 zo6 runs mid 11s@126+mph so your toast from a highway roll with a good zo6 driver.

 

Like I said, the 11.6@120 was two years ago. My silver S4 is a different car now. It'll probably run that same 11.6 @ 120+ but do it on pump gas now.

Rolls are for bakers! With the right money, ANYONE can buy horsepower and kill anything from a roll. I'm sorry, but there's just no skill or brains in that. The reason why 1/4 mile drag racing is so popular in this country is because it combines so many different variables such as horsepower, torque, weight, gearing, driver skill, traction, reliability, etc. When you race from a roll, a lot of these variables are eliminated and it becomes a race of who has more horsepower. If we wanna see who has more horsepower, we should just put both cars on the dyno. And again, whoever has more money will win that, just like they'll win from a baker roll.

 

We'll have a rematch soon. When weather warms up a bit and I get better at stick, we'll do it from a dig too. It's my daily driver, so I don't want to put DR's on it.

I've been busy with girls, family, work, and sh*t so my time is limited, but you can always catch me on the streets on Thurs nights or just gimme a call dude.

BTW, you got anything to help my buddy Joey out with the blue S4 that ran on Thurs? I'd like to see a rematch after he gets some more work done.

 

Yeah, I have a 6spd trans for him. Tiptronic S4s just simply suck.

 

I,m actually saying the same thing you said!

 

When are we racing?

 

Why are people saying this was a good race?
Marc has repeatedly said his car has stock parts ?
I think Italianstallion should get off his high horse and stop picking on stock cars.







Too late for an April fools joke?

Marc is a good guy I had the pleasure of meeting him last thursday.
Great race you guys!

 

The more I think about it, the more I'm impressed by how well my S4 did in this race. A 3500+ lb luxury sedan grocery getter that makes for a great daily driver (can seat 5 comfortably, does great in the snow, etc) hanging with a $80K 2 seater supercar that has a motor more than 2 1/2 times its size.

 

Plenty of Japanese cars do this as well. If you take an Evo or WRX and put a couple grand of interior work, you'll have low 10 second luxo sedans.

 

Comparisons between boosted&N/A engines are ridiculous

 

LOL! That quote is going in my sig. Then why the hell are there 2 billion threads comparing the E55 to the M5?

 

There's 3 billion comparing 55 to 63,lol

 

Not necessarily, they are there to depict the capabilities of low displacement forced induction motors. A 2.7 Liter capable of making reliable power levels that rival that of monstrous 7 Liter...in street applications, any two cars can be compared.

 

You consider a Lancer or Impreza a "luxo" sedan? WTF?

Pretty sure you meant "internal" work and not "interior", but it definitely takes more than a "couple" grand to get those cars into the low 10's. More like 10K to 15K plus. And then you start sacrificing driveability, reliability, etc.

 

No, I meant interior work. If you swap out those racing seats with power adjustable leather seat, re-do the dash in leather, maybe give it an alcantara headliner and a nice touch screen head unit, I don't see why it can't be a luxury sedan. That's what I meant.

Your Audi comes with soft fluffy seats from the factory. The Evo is much more hard-core and aggressive.

To me, Audi's downfall was always styling. Thank God for the new direction they've taken. I saw an S5 the other day on i95 and I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. The R8 is pretty badass, as well as the newer A4 thats coming out.

 

I would have to agree with you on this. You can make a luxury sedan into a performance monster and you can make a seemingly performance oriented sedan into a luxury vehicle as well.

In reference to Audi, putting the 4.2L V8 in the R8 was a little confusing to me. I figured they would save the more powerful performance for when the RS version came out, so maybe this could be their reasoning behind it however, I can't knock them for styling, its a beautiful machine that I'm sure handles on rails.

 

Great kill Bobby!! Can't believe you posted this here on 4/2 and I didnt know about it... You have my number bro....

 

Bobby you sure as hell are learning how to shift that animal Bro!! Must take a lot, I have never driven a stick shift.

 

Thanks dude! I actually lost your # lol. Can't wait to see your beast in action

 

Is this Jody?

Thanks dude...I'm like you, I only knew automatic and racing with the old Benz was a joke...put it in the lower gear and floor it. Perfect redline shifts without ever worrying. With this, I'm always nervous. I still have no clue how to launch it from a dig though lol. Plus my shifts could still be muchhhh faster. And I still get worried when I am on a deep hill and a car comes right up on my *** giving me not even a foot to roll back lol

 

When my car is ready!! I just donīt have the time like you have to spend my whole life working on my car or various others that I own!!! I donīt have the luxury of being single with no responsibilities anymore

Donīt worry,weīll do this!!

 

I hear this wayyyy too often. Darn womens! Lol

 

LOL @ spend my whole life working on my cars. I average maybe a few hours a month working on my cars. Like I've said over and over again, every single car I own has a stock motor with bolt-ons, so nothing ever really breaks and they never really need to be worked on.

 

Sorry, but I can't see how you can make an Impreza or Lancer a luxury sedan by changing the seats and adding a touch screen head unit. There's a lot more to a luxury car than that. For example, NVH is a big one. Cheap interior plastics are another. And there are a lot more. Don't get me wrong, I could care less about luxury, but calling a Lancer or Impreza a luxury sedan is just wrong. They're econoboxes like Neons, Focuses, etc.

 

Let's race.
