Me and a mate are off to Bug Jam this year.

In all the years we had beetles we never raced.

this year the gauntlet has been thrown.....

he has an Audi S4, 2.7l twin turbo, chipped, sports exhaust and DV/Filters.

I have a standard Jap import type r sti v5.

what do you reckon? am i gonna get my **** kicked?

any ideas?

You should be fine - S4 2.7 bi turbo = 0-60 mph 6.0 (Manual)
0-60 mph 6.7 (Tiptronic) but it depends on the driver too!

Although it also depends on what his Quat has been chipped to - best idea would be to check the bhp/ton ratio.

mmmm. looking good as standard, i am hoping mine is 4.2.

a quarter of a mile is a long way.

anyone know what the standard bhp is on an s4, his is now 340

hi mate the audi s4 as about 260bhp or so and has more weight!.

i did have a chipped up a4 1.8 turbo and was going to get a S4 but then some kind person wrote my a4 off and now i have got a STI v4 import NOT modded in any way just rebuild the engine 8 moths ago! and wow it is very nice and very very quick i hae done about 175 in it on a air field and about 4 sec 0-60 pull off!.

only got beat by a Skyline R34! so u should be all over and in front the audi mate by farr!!.. .

Power to weight wise you scoob in standard form is about 220bhp ton his is standard form is 178bhp/ton and his modified is 228bhp/ton. Close call they should be pretty even on paper but
over a quarter mile I think you would have him though due to the type R gear ratios.

Maybe the Audi would have longer gears than the 'R'in which case you would say a big "CHEERS THEN" as you see him in your rear mirror.
My dosh would be on the scoob

cactus jim

wahoo, i know theres more to life than my cars better than yours, however it would be awesome to kick his ****ing a*se!!

think i will have a little tickle at the bookies with him, nothing too grand, just a friendly wager.

we are taking a mp3 camera, will post the result either way!

I junked my STI V for an S4 a few years ago. Even that didnt feel that far off the STI. Lots more low down go as well. A lot of road tests have the std car in mid 5's to 60.

A chip on these cars makes a world of difference. You will have more torque than a std RS4. Jeff who posts on here has done some modding to his S4. I would say it would be pretty close. Given a good straight the S4 will win.

My S4 produces 409 bhp.....I would imagine a chipped S4 would be around the 310-320 bhp mark...should be an interesting run

Audi never produced a tiptronic version of the 2.7 biturbo S4.

See you there mate, I am racing my German look 1303 '73 with a 2443cc lump. Hoping for 12s without gas and low 12s perhaps even 11s with.

Hope it dun fukcing rain

If you want to race your scooby against a 30 year old bug, and get spanked, bring it on!!!!!

cactus jim

i would be more than happy to provide the crowd with some entertainment and 'let you win!'

seriously, good luck, i have been a beetel fan for years, took in my first 'techno tato' run in 1990!

keep an eye for me, i will be in 'Thunder'!

Andy555

Good luck

My engine is developing a few last minute hitches, as an engine does which is on the limit

Should be there, but not sure about the gas.

Whats "thunder"?? an STI???

cactus jim

what does your look like, i will keep an eye out for you!
