Audi A4 2.8 1/4 mile time?
#31
alright. all but one, maybe two a4's are slow! happy now? so the world fastest a4 only runs 10's? none are in the single digits? damn maybe ill put an ls1 in my a4 and take the tittle. i even got one laying around in the shop. then i would have enough power to keep the interior complete and keep the a/c. wouldn't be that hard.
I am the fastest of 3 A4's that have ran in the 10's. Out of those 3 I am the only one running a "Audi 1.8t" block. The other 2 were owned by Audi shops. The one from Ctapp ran a VW ABA 2 liter and the one 034 has runs a VR6. There have been plenty of others running in the 11's and tons running in the 12's.
I have also ran 10's in a daily driver S4, one of only 2 that have done so in the united states and the other one was fully gutted to a shell to run 10's at E-town.
LS1 in an Audi, now thats funny.

Also your motor swap kills one of the best attributes as to why people modify an Audi to go fast, and that's the AWD system which has been called one of the best if not the best AWD systems out there. And while Mike may hold the title of fastest A4 in the country, there are plenty of A4's that are dd's pushing 400awhp - myself hoping to be one real soon .......
It's all good .......
That's what 034 does!! They build monster Audi's ........
And the Money shot
There is also another build from a member on this forum who is pushing the limits as to what will fit in an A4 body as he is currently working on stuffing a 4.2L V8 that will be twin turbo charged ........

whys that funny? so if i swapped in an ls1 it wouldn't count as the fastest a4? hardly makes it worth it.
the reason why i don't get 1.8t's is it just too damn expensive for such modest horse power. thats why there are so few that are seriously fast. i have a customer right now spending far more on a 1.8t passat than its worth (i even tried talking him out of it). seems like a big waste to me is all.
so when i see you guys bad mouth the V6 guys, imho you guys are the fools. i shouldn't have said that all a4's are slow. I take that back. I'm sure there are a few that are respectable. then again I've seen Vauxhalls run 9's.

God danm, someone asks what there car should run in a 1/4 mile and everyone starts freakin out about how slow A4's 1.8Ts and 2.8s are. You want to talk about slow, I know slow!!!

30v 2.8's run a low-mid 15 1/4 mile stock, with a good driver and obviously a manual tranny..
people forget that when the 30v came out it was the "superior" A4, the 1.8 was considered the "cheap" A4... until the world of tuning came into play.

I believe "economical" is the official and correct term. But I know how calling it "cheap" really serves your luxurious power seat, chrome window trim, and fake wood driven life Show me a time where the 2.8 was described specificaly as "surperior." No, your previous posts don't count.
