S14 vs. A4

[logik23]

Now, my little bitch ass rich friend got a 1996 Audi A4 2.8 quattro last week, he keeps saying it's all that, but it's an automatic cause he's a pussy, he keeps saying my dream car (S14) isn't crap and wouldn't stand a chance, is it true? When I get my license (2-3 weeks) I'll test him with my 94 Altima which is a manual and same engine, tranny as S14, so do I have a prayer? Or will I get creamed? (All cars mentionned above are bone stock with no passengers and crappy drivers)

BTW, I know that the Altima is FWD and that the 240SX is RWD so there would be a difference between the 2, but please say what you think anyways.

AWD catapults!!!!! He will launch at u and he will cream u..(sorry but there is no way will catch up to him!)


See , if it was a stick, and his a bad driver, that might be to your advantage. AWD boogs when launched under the power band. But in auto, all he needs to do his hold the break, floor the gas, let go of the break. VROOOOM there he gose where ur still burning rubber!

Altimas is not fast, but 2.8 AWD Audi, is faster…………………….
Sorry,

Btw in the track, I’ve beaten some modded AWD cars (Audi 1.8, WRX) in my S13, BUT NOT OFF A ROOL, I get them in 3rd gear.

sorry, i hope that u will win (never know)
keep us posted!!!!

lol, logik i have 1 rich friend, guess what car he has.... you guessed it a honda, 2004 honda ex, first thing he talked to me about is how he was gonna put a bodykit on it, i was like, then a big spoiler right, then he said, "howd you know", i laughed for a long time. His mom has a S2k, damn that cars fast....

ehhh 240's from the factory are crap slow. sorry but alot and i mean alot of cars can put a hurt on a stock KA. so you might get him off the line because those A4's are soo weak, they'll bogg off the line and fall on its face, then you gotta hold the lead off until the end.

and for those guys who are goin to say well AWD owns off the line. yes that is true if you ahve enough rev's and power to actually move the weight of the whole car at once without bogging down the engine. on a automatic i doubt you can rev it that high, and also it doens't make much power either so it doesn't have enough power to pull itself off the line.

[logik23]

He wouldn't know how to rev the car, he'd wait until the ligh turned and would just floor it. the 2.8 isn't all that powerful though, it's the same engine as a VR6 jetta which is like 200hp, factor in drivetrain loss, alot in an AWD car, and the weight of the car......and I 'm still screwed...lol...I guess I'll just have to bolt a couple of things on, maybe if I get things like IHE, pulleys, flywheel, better clutch, I gotta change it soon anyways, it slips like crazy, good tires, I might have a chance, maybe?

[TatII]

with full bolt on's you can hang with a v-tec honda. but not on the highend. they will still take you.

[AWDSR20]

i don't know but as i said, if he boogs u might win.
again that 2.8 is not all that fast but please, if u had a maxima, it would 've been a different story. but an altima...

try to convive him to put his freinds in the car, keep ur gas to 1/8 full and tell him to fill his gas!

get bolt ons but aren't u saving for a 240? why wast money on the altima?

[D-Bo]

yeah, i was gonna say.. start looking for a 240!! fuck the altima, we all know what kind of car you want!! and i know you've been waiting for a long time so do it up!! save more money and get your car!!

[D-Bo]

oh, and the a4 would win.. the vr6 is a decent engine.. but if you get a 240 with some bolt-ons, it'd be close.. the 240 is less than 3000lbs and his is about 3300..

[SHIFT_KA24DE]

doesn't the 96 2.8 A4 quattro have 170+ horses?

[D-Bo]

i think its 175 stock.. edmunds says 172

[LaYzIeNoY]

the 240sx would have a better chance because its lighter and RWD

i'm not to sure about the altima though i doubt it winning

the weight i believe would be comparable, but the power difference and the fact thats the audi is AWD, wouldn;t be compensated by a manual tranny

My Dad's 1.8 A4 has 170 HP, so I would think the 2.8 has more. Although I don't know the year of the Audi off the top of my head...

[AWDSR20]

2.8 has 200hp (n/a)

[logik23]

I wouldn't buy the upgrades, I'd get my dad to do it, I got no money anyways.
