Title: Track day comparison.
Post by: Orc on August 06, 2015, 12:24:42 pm: Peeps thoughts my edition 30 stage 2+ 385hp 430ftlb well set up for track, vs mates Audi s4 bi turbo 2.7 k04s running 380hp 380-390ftlb. Also big brakes suspension mods. He's faster down the 1/4 by .3 but obviously 4wd. So or of thought by previous racing that he wouldn't pass me. But he's insistent he will. Lol just a little poll say on same drivers which will you be quicker??????

Your thoughts guys

Post by: Orc on August 06, 2015, 01:28:56 pm: Nope, haven't really needed one from around 50/60mph really as it handles well and with the camber set up I hardly get any under/over torque steer.

True true, 6 pots and 888rs I stand a good chance hopefully
