Hey Johanes - we are looking for one of those lat 80's audis with 400
HP 5 cylinder engine and 4wd. we want to turn it into a hill climb
racer - Pikes Peak!!

Ok for Stock, but otherwise pathetic. Truly Pathetic.

That engine is good for 900, highway use, if you have a competent
tuner and are not afraid of boost pressure.

You would need to strengthen and Brace the bodyshell to make it
handle, though. Actually, you need to do that anyway.


As far as I can tell it was designated as the quatro S-1. (before that
I think it was the sr21 or something like that!

Dunno - got to ask guy at work on that - he's an Audi Nut.

A stealth racer! 4 door sedan looking firebreather - yahoooo!

There was a daily driver Audi at the Nitrolympics drag races at
Hockenheim.

It made burning up blow 'vettes look effortless. No Burnout, just
simply staged and ran. It was demoralising for the competition.

IIRC (but I could be wrong) it was beaten by a VW Golf in the end...

ps. Speed is nothing. Anyone can go fast in a straight line.
Acceleration and Control, lateral and/or longitudinal, seperate the
men from the boys. Stuff the salt flats. Go to the Green Hell - the
Nürburgring, or if inclided to two wheels, the Isle of Manx as well.
