Default I think that he claims to have around 330HP, but I never seen him post a time slip...

The best times for S4's with 350+HP is around a flat 13.0 and an A4 with 340HP should do about the same (less torque & less weight) assuming his clutch & tranny holds...

I doubt anyone with an A4 has achieved that yet though... (Please post time-slip and mods if you have an A4 with a low 13 slip)

Default info inside, use search (I thought it was still down)

looks like ~350hp and high/mid 12's, but take what you want from it.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/31817.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/31817.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default When did I talk smack, and my name is Ryan not Jack

BTW from what I saw, its not too impossible for him to have run a 12.8-13.0 He clearly stated in another post that a RS4 owner said Lucas's car was fast if not faster, he dynoed what 326hp right? Hmm the APR stage3+ and lil mods(supposedly around 310hp then a lil more for mods) ran a 13.0 (i believe) and lucas may have a little more power, maybe better hp/trq curve as well anyways I havent seen a timeslip from anyone so I cant draw conclusions but I will say that APR's stage3+ and Lucas are probably in prime competition with each other for the fastest A4.

Default if i remember correctly he ran a 13.2

i believe his setup leans toward more torque than hp.
he had not even dialed the car in, he had boost at 18psi, and he said it would go faster

try using search, maybe you'll find something

Default I never seen a time slip from him Ryan... Yes he "could" run low 13's

but until he does it is speculation. He might have to destroy his clutch and transmittion doing it too...

APR ran the low 13 run with additions to their stage 3+ kit including (but not limited to) carbon fiber body parts, light seats, no spare, suspension, super expensive wheels, with 100+ octane gas and some additional engine mods - not what I consider a everyday set-up... (probably 200lb lighter than the base car with $$$$ mods) Very impressive nontheless!!!

Default I also want to see the timeslips

however other than maybe the weight savings. I would say they are about the same. They probably both run race gas, to help with det. and boost lvls, at least i sure as hell would, but then again i run race gas with stage 1 chip at the track to help with the 110-120's here in central Tx.

[rant]
FYI, the fastest trans am ws6 straight from factory went a 12.8 or 12.9 (thats everything in it, stock tires) and most drivers get low 13's outa em so there are factory freaks/"perfect" dirvers. Maybe the apr driver missed his powerband by shifting 200rpms too late, who knows. How much fuel did he have in the car. a car with 326hp can do a low 13 maybe high 12. It has the potential if the conditions are PERFECT

Using a program i have and using figures by pulling them outa my *** I computed

a 3360 pound(with driver) turbocharged awd vehicle with minimal fuel lvl @ 60 degrees F needs:
minimum 298hp Probable 314hp Maximum 330hp
to run a 12.99

Default the apr program gives you advanced timing though

I can really tell the difference with the race program in my S4... The time slip above (the left one) is for a Stage 2+ S4 running race gas (but full weight / street trim)

G'Day Mate,
I was with Lucas when he ran 13.2 and approx 106mph. This was at Calder Park, Drag Strip, Melbourne, Aus. Every now and again its opened to the general public to have a go. He was running around 18lbs of boost which is only a moderate setting on his car.
I saw the timing board and the slip. Sorry that you seem so cynical, then there always has to be one knocker.
