Okay this may be the wrong thread. (Plz correct the powers that be)
My buddy with a 94 Audi V8 has thrown down the Gauntlet. looks as if we will be meeting friday Dec 9th. 10 miles top speed to the end.

I got an audi a4 worked at the track. My time was 14.528 and he was 14.93. His exhaust sounded almost like a jet engine when I saw the video on my girls cell phone.

I owned Jesal's A4 on the highway.

V8, must be the 4.2L. 276 hp, 295 tq. It's got some power, but it's also heavy. What kind of a car do you have? The Audi tops out at 130 mph governed. If you have a 2G TL, then you'll top out at 147 mph governed, and with a 3G, you'll probably top out at 150ish aerodynamically limited.

So... given these bits of information, it's kind of stupid to do a top speed run. You already know who's going to win. Once the Audi tops out at 130, the race is over because there's no pride in beating a car that's governed to that speed.

He posted this in the 1st gen TL section.

I'd go with the A8 winning unless he's done some mods like the Type II headswap (like what Cornflake and I have done) and a CAI which gives an honest 40 hp boost.

owned big time. he will destroy you! I wouldn't race unless he is a good friend, otherwise it will be embarassing. BTW I am surprised a 94 audi is still on the road. audi's have awful reliability.

Chipped Audis are fast (when they feel like moving)

Its a 1st gen TL

The C block engines dont benefit greatly from headers unless a lot of other mods are done first.

-Headswap (from the C32A5) (Type II)

- Cold Air Intake

- After all that, headers
