Default What kind of difference does Quattro make in street racing? more>>>

ive been attending a couple of street races and have seen some nice results from an all wheel drive car, for example an Eclipse GSX with 16lbs of boost launching from a dead stop over any FWD or RWD car, except supra's of coarse...lol...but my concern is that my friend is buying an Active Autowerke stage 2(420hp) turbo kit on his '98 m3. if i do the full rs4 upgrade and achieve between 420-450hp, what would the outcome of a race be? would quattro launch make a big difference? please post.

Default Quattro launch means grip. Other than that, it comes down to driver now stop looking for us to blow

SUNSHINE UP YOUR ***!!

Default Everything.

Look at pat, you think he can beat half the cars out there if it wasnt for quattro and skip barber driving school?

In the streets, the number one problem seems to be traction. With Quattro, it virtually eliminates that problem. Leaving you with a perfect launch everytime.

Default Whiplash, possibly... Bog? Never!

Especially when you launch like me 5,500 rpm and dump the clutch

Default AA doesn't have a SII for OBDII

OBDII is 400HP. The K04 S4 shouldn't have a problem with an OBDII M3, quattro will give you a big advantage on the street. It's the 95's you have to watch out for. If they get traction, they run low 12s.

Default You can get a stg2 system to work on an '98 car

All it takes is about 1k worth of parts to convert to obd1. Even so, i think a turbo obd2 car and a k04 s4 would be a pretty close race.
