Heck, My Kawasaki Vulcan topped out at 135 mph with the small rear
tire! I thought all ya had to do to qualify was outrun the cop car... (and get off the road before the Motorola caught up) Richard |

No doubt - more guys make the 130 club with motorcycles than with cars
- power to weight! my brother and I are going for 200mph - but they require you to step up to that speed - so newcomers are best served going for either 130 or 150 mph club .. Notice that with the exception of Riley - the rest of the guys Oysterhouse, JJ(highflyer), Cooper, Wantaja (hell he could write about it and sell it - whats his problem?) Chuck slpmcehifpjiofew[pfwasbc, and a bunch of other unnamed coconspirators have refused to reply - At least Ampmeter had the balls to admity he didn't have the required nuts publically. like I said - talks cheap - I hear stories every day about how fast someones car is - course they never seem to take me up on the prove it! gonzo guess I'll call stricker and harass him! |

Let me help you out here... I'll quote my response to your generous offer below. Birdbrain.... "I've got a prior commitment that weekend... That's the weekend of our Annual Meeting of the Snohomish Tribe of Indians and, since I'm up for re-election as Vice Chair (how appropriate), I really should be there." ampmeter like I said - talks cheap - I hear stories every day about how fast someones car is - course they never seem to take me up on the prove it! gonzo guess I'll call stricker and harass him! |

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... Johannes 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. |

We just do the salt Flats as a family fun deal. We really built the
cars to Run the open road races in Nevada, Texas and Ensinada! We also take em to alot of track days at various tracks here in the western US. I agree speeds overated - getting a car to go around a road course fast and smooth- now thats fun! |
