Ran my buddies LPE C5 346 CID twin turbo in my S4

** I have the video if someone can post -- its 3.6MB **

Rules of this $25 bet:
DJ Self gets the kick. I get a 1 car lead.


Results:
I win to 65 mph, he gets 5 cars on me thru the 1/4.

The 1/4 mark is EXACTLY at the white speed limit sign on the right. My speedo registered 115 thru the imaginary traps.

He was on 8 psi making ~500 rwhp. On 18 psi he went 9.9@149.8 and 10.3@136 on 12psi. Its a beast.

Note I was getting psyched out holding my revs at 5K rpms in order for the LPE passenger to get a 2nd video cam working...ugg.

A thread on the LPE C5 TT

I saw his dyno on 12 psi. 555rwhp/728 rwtq on a mustang dyno jet. Here is some info on his 9 sec pass.

See the Audi vs. C5TT. The C5TT then beats a 427 Z06 and a 400rwhp deep 11sec RX7.

Nice vids!

So that yellow C5 is just a 427 N/A? Do you know who built it?

Also, did that audi think he was doing a burnout for all that time or what?

The passenger in the C5tt couldn't get a second vid camera to work for the reace so it totally f'ed with me as I held 5k rpms until I detected movement. My reaction time was about 0.5-0.8

Not sure who built the 427 but it has 15K in the engine & mods.
