FAST! Heh, this coverage is great...Derek talking while he's motoring around in his car, awesome. But he mentioned that they tested the day before and were getting 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, amazing!

On another note, Speedchannels coverage of the Grand-Am race in fontana was less than spectacular...

I think that guy who posted here (crashed his S4), claiming 1/4 in 11sec can do 0-60 in like 2 sec.

Default Yeah, I liked the part about spinning the tires all the way through 1st gear...

...do they use the RS4 clutch? He raved about the clutch. Figure that 3.4 0-60 is on the way to an 11.6 1/4 mile IMO, but what should you expect with 450hp, 3100 lbs. and AWD?

Default 2800 lbs...

Is what those cars weigh, without any penalty weight added to them.

Default They've lightened them a little then...

...at the first race of last season, they told me they were at 3100 lbs. WITH driver and fuel, but they could shed a few more pounds if necessary.
