1.8T vs E90 M3 vs 6.0 GTO
Militant-Grunt, I can assure you I had no hand in Akademiks acquiring any of his vehicles. Perhaps motivation, but monetarily-- it's all him. I usually don't like to involve myself in these ridiculous arguments, but lurking around here I've noticed it isn't his first time getting attacked for owning nice cars at a young age. Sure, it's difficult but not impossible.
If anyone thinks I in anyway helped him get his cars, they need to see a shrink. I think it's irresponsible for a parent to buy a teenager a fast high-end car, but seeing as he's moved out and on his own I have little say in what car he drives.
Even still, his 600 still fades nicely in my rear-view.

Sure, I might of been harsh but I'm pretty sure you didn't lose any sleep over it.

And here's a 1.8t Trapping 7mph faster than a tuned V12 Biturbo, spinning all through first in a AWD car..

Thats not even his best 1/4 mi time, that car has ran 10.5 before. Not to mention that the car is soon receiving a even larger turbo.
Yeah Jon? Stfu.
Quit talking out your ***. You know nothing about boosted motors.

Its not an Audi, but its still a 4 banger running faster than any AMG motor I have seen.
No offense to Jody, he owns a bad-*** car, especially that its a 10 second daily driven car.
Can a 65 motor beat a 4 banger? Yes, it requires a transmission that won't explode, and significant engine work to yield more power, because other than lightening the car, there's no way around the 4500lbs weight of the car.

There are a few things really not telling the whole story of my car.
1. It was the first outing and car was running 93 octane as opposed to 100. I get to track and just dumped 2 gallons and ECU does not even adapt while it still has 1/4 tank of 93. Not much of a mix.
2. was running stock pump will be upgrading to CM90 soon.
If all these variables change my car should be trapping easy 130+. My car has full interior, fully streetable. Not to mention the 4 banger probably weights half my weight. Not a good comparison in those terms. If you could get me any car my weight that runs what I run...you got yourself a good comp. Our cars unfortunately are a bit too heavy, wish it wasn't.

Yes that A4 happens to be a dedicated track car, though there are a number of fella's that have street 10 second cars.
Its far from a time bomb, with proper tuning (Keeping a good AFR, and timing) you're not blowing anything up unless you exceed the design specifications of the forged components.
The Brute rods in my motor have a 800hp+ rating. Something my car will more than likely will not see for a long time. Everything in my motor has been done to withstand high stresses.
I had a situation where my boost controller froze and the motor hit 45psi of boost. Car got super rich and belched out a nice fireball out the exhaust. Had the engine compression tested, 190 across the board, better than out the factory.

The Best of Mercedes & AMG

I wouldn't be surprised if Mercedes also uses a Bosch based ECU system, shouldn't be too different. Though, you can always just get a spare ecu with a dedicated 100 file.
Have you thought about meth for your car? Its like running race gas all the time, you can bump up boost and timing

Jody, much props on your run. I really wish I could congratulate you in person but we haven't bumped in to each other like we usually do. **** i remember when I met you with your BONE stock E55... Time flies
Carl, your talking to a wall of ignorance.
Akademiks, I don't know you... but never the less, grow up and act your age. Were all just a bunch of enthusiasts here. Get over it.
Matt stop picking on Jon, as much as I hate to say it... but its time to bury the hatchet.
Jon, stop quoting motortrend and put down the PS2 controller.
Sigh, and I'm the young one.

No one still gives a **** about your Audi.

All in good fun. Last edited by Akademiks; May 3, 2009 at 11:59 PM. Reason: "Balanced"
