making generalizations like that just shows your ignorance. i already answered that question. i like sitting in a luxury vehicle that is also capable of 12's. my 5.0 mustang was capable of 12's too, and i had BIG plans for that car, but after driving it for a couple years, the lack of a nice interior and drive quality, made me sell it. i would rather drive my a4 than that mustang ANY day of the week. if they're both just as fast, why drive the mustang? sure it takes a few extra dollars to get there than with a POS $2k mustang, but its worth it.
as for the other arguement, turbo'd engines lose more power than NA cars at high altitude. they are making more power, yeah, but thats what they are designed to do. if you took two 300hp (at sea level) engine, 1 is a FI 1.8, the other a NA 5.0. take them both up to colorado, the NA engine will lose less power.

I'm glada few peopleon here atleast knows something.
I've basically been called out for every single thing i've said in this thread when all I stated was that I dont know why anyone would buy an A4 and worry about how fast it is. I think this section is mostly full of old civic owners.

hahaha.... cincy apparently you dont know ****... hahahaha
if the turbo is designed for such situations, then, yes, it is beneficial at high altitude. however, for a turbo car that was tuned for sea level, the effect of climbing altitude is more harsh... you can compensate by turning up the boost to try and achieve the same cfm, but there are many variables.
if you take my a4 for instance, and a gt mustang to the mountains in colorado, without doing a damn thing to either car... the mustang will see a lesser decrease in power than my a4

Think a little harder. Considering theres a very big aftermarket industry for the 1.8t engine, it's obvious you're missing something that so many more people understand. Personally, I love Audis (especially b5's) and I love power. Is that too much for you to figure out? I could list some other reasons why people want their a4's fast, but it may be a little more complicated than what I put my reason as.
I could ask why people make pick up trucks fast, but I'm not a moron. I know people like certain cars and they like them fast. So someone might be willing to buy a truck (for example) they really like, which might be slow, so they make it quicker.. thus ultimately getting the car they want.
By the way, interesting choice of words you decided to use. "worry" about how fast it is. For as long as I've been on this forum, I never read anyone state they're worried about how fast their car is. If you phrased your statement to something like "I don't know why anyone would buy an A4 and make it fast".. maybe the answer would be much more obvious to you.
I have time so I'll continue on.
Your whole statement is weak, based upon everyone is differant and that no matter what, you most likely won't admit you understand why. Someone else can come onto this car or any car forum and say "I don't know why anyone would want a fast car, at all." That's a fair statement, but still weak because everyone has differant wants, and it would be foolish to think one would understand them all.
It would be wiser for you to simply say (actually you shouldn't have said anything to begin with), *you* have an A4 and *you* have no need to make it fast. While I, tdn, have an a4 and I do have a need to make it fast.

You guys made too big of a deal of what I said. I personally don't see the point, they are slow even chipped. I mean everyone is getting on me about well you can do this and that and be running 12's. How many people are actually running 12's... maybe a handful. I bet the majority are just internet racers.
Whatever, it's your car I just don't see the point. I'd rather build a car that is made for speed and being fast, as opposed to getting a semi-luxury sedanand pretending it's a race car, so I should mod it like one.

Bad choice of words, for the context I used. I dunno I just feel an a4 is a poor choice to want to make fast, mainly because it takes a lot to get there, then once you're there they are unreliable. I know someone is going to tell me how easy it as that they are extremely reliable once xxxx is done, but you're kidding yourself. I'd still like to know how many 12sec 1.8t cars are on this forum since it's so easy.

You make it sound like chipping is the "ultimate" in modification, but it still doesn't do anything.Yes they're slow stock. Yes they're slow chipped. No they're not slow with a GT35R turbo.

What, now there's a social standard of what cars can be modded to race and which can't? You're an idiot for thinking you can't build a car for speed and being fast, if it isn't already "meant to be" while it's stock.

Leifer you're a true genius! You know since this conversation pertains to as4 in anyway and not a 1.8t. How fast is your "stage 2" since you previously called me out and never responded.
