The Audi A4 Quatro 1.8L TT isn't the same as the pasage is it? I drove one of those audi's (04 I believe) earlier this year and when that turbo kicked in you were gone... AMAZING feeling and a great car for me all around.... However I don't think I'd ever own one without being rich because working on that thing would suck...

The A4 and the TT are two separate cars. The A4 is a four door sedan, my roommate's wife has one. That thing is pretty quick, and handles really well. Only 170hp, feels like more.

The TT is a two door sports car, still an I4 turbo, but 225hp.

gotcha.... it was an A4 then since it was a 4 door model. I'm suprised it's only rated at 170hp.... it feels like a lot more when you are driving it!

LOL Only race I have ever done was my 02 Z71 suburban against an 85 Cadi Eldorado. They were even till about 30mph, then I just shot ahead after that. Was pretty funny, and fun lol. Well I totaled my suburban running a red light b/c it wasn't fast enough. Now I got my 06 I4 accord which feels like a V6 used to. Engines are getting so damn efficient and powerful, just when we only have a few more years of affordable fossil fuels.

I havent raced anyone in a long time. Mostly because my car is stock and slow, and I know this. LoL. I raced my brother's Neon once, won it by not much, he has a CAI and exhaust and that was about it at the time, but I can drive stick a lot better than him, I think he was shifting too soon. The last race I did was a Ford ZX2 about two years ago almost, both of our cars stock engine wise. But he did have some stickers on his rear window, and custom paint with graphics and a huge aluminum wing, so really he was probably pushing 300hp. I still beat him though. LoL

I raced a Saturn Ion a few weeks before my headers and exhaust were installed, plus I had two passengers. Well lets just say it didnt turn out well But then again it wasnt from a dead stop.
