Track day comparison.
« 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

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.

I think your weight advantage will give you the edge, unless the track is wet, then you'll have no chances. :laugh:

b5 s4s aren't that fast and are very heavy

it'll be whoevers brakes and tyres hold up best.

I think it depends on the track partly, the fewer corners the less advantage he has, but on a dry day the ED30 should win.
