PM me. I’m always up for getting some entertaining video.
Steve texted me after he went to the track and I have to say, the results are great for an independent test. He told me with a little more practice he believes he could get better results. This was his first time to island raceway, his first time drag racing an RS4 and his first time drag racing an AWD vehicle so kudos to him!
When I take my S4 out, I’m sure I’ll have to have a drive mod for better results. : )
No the fucking challenge was at the strip…you turned it into a fucking road course challenge. You were going to come race everyone…then everything changed. You were the cocky one, why should anyone else travel hundreds of miles to hear excuses. I would have ran you at the strip in a heart beat.
…and how he fuck do you even race at an HPDE? Or do you just compare times? I would like another man sitting shot gun and stroking my ego with his hand on my thigh though.
Yeah, nobody is questioning anything Steve ran. It’s a great time. The kit and tune are working well to produce acceleration. With launch control that’s even better to set the customer up for success. Two years ago, this time would have been revolutionary. Today it’s the third fastest pump gas RS4. Awesome, but I don’t get why people are defending the APR kit and driver as if it is under attack.
The thread was simply to address the claims that once an APR kitted car gets a real catback or better DA, it will be lights out. Well, one did, and it got the best possible conditions for making power, and he cut a great 60’ (the biggest obstacle)…and the car went 11.2 @ 125. To get into the 10s, he is going to need to powershift and cut a 1.55 60’. I don’t see it happening, but hey let’s see. Will be fun to watch.
Third fastest RS4 ET on pump gas
Third fastest RS4 MPH on pump gas
Second fastest customer RS4
Fastest owner driven RS4
Great!
Bottom line? Results like this show us that the APR blower is getting pretty much maxed out here. It’s pushing 15-16ish PSI of boost (we think…nobody will tell us) and the cars are running low 11s @ 125 on pump gas. To get more out of it, they need race gas. So it’s hitting a ceiling for a typical ‘street’ setup. The race gas stuff is nice for bragging to the B5 guys who also enjoy race gas ,but for a street time in full interior, street tire trim, low 11s @ 125 seems to be it.
Expand ur horizons, come to an event, and maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.
Exactly.
Primetime, Richib86, me, Euroswagr and a few others stepped up…then Lawrence Gibson bitched out and ould only race me if I was stock while he was modified (for $10,000+ lol)…and then he turned it into road race superstar day in New Fucking Jersey and claimed victory lol.
LOL! That’s right I forgot about this guy challenging everyone to a drag race… He dismissed my lowly S4 pretty quickly as a waste of time…
Daytona, I don’t think you were alluding to my post earlier, but you don’t need to worry about me taking my car to the strip as a customer and reporting results… But again I’m just a lowly S4 owner patiently waiting for this blower so I can install and make some passes… I gave props to the driver for some pretty good times especially now that I know it was his first time… My guess is he left a lot on the table with his staging, keeping the car straight, playing with tire air pressure, etc. but hey what would an S4 owner know… Again, props to him for taking the car out and testing… Did he post results somewhere? Any vids?
I agree, to be within 0.13sec and 2 mph better trap of the factory time (or within 0.06 and equal trap depending which run you look at) pretty much backs up the performance. You’d gotta think at some point tenths will be shaved from these ties when the kits get out there under more hoods.
FWIW, it’s nice to have a roots option for the platform, not to compare with the JHM option, but a c-fuge blower isn’t for everyone. They definitely would have totally different powerbands. Mind you, cfuge can be lighter and lower CG.
When does the teasing end and specifics like price, weight, compressor maps come out?
We’re a couple weeks out before it’s all finalized.
I can’t say for sure on the compressor map. That’s Eaton’s call.
Come on Bobby, lets stop polluting the thread. I’ve already told anyone who wants to “take their shot” to PM. I’ve already proven I’ll show so enough of that.
We have went over this…give me a car setup up to track and I’ll come tear it up, I am not going to personally set my car up for a track because it isn’t my thing. If I wanted to spend thousands on suspension parts, tires, and track day fees I’d go get a race car and at least do some type of semi-pro racing. Auto-cross is similar and less expensive, but it’s not very fun to race around a parking lot so that is also not for me. Drag racing is great for an enthusiast, gives a great adrenaline rush, costs $20 for as many runs as I can get in, and the track is 15min away. It also is way less stressful on you car (I know you’ll argue) if you actually know how to drive.
I’ve seen your videos…nothing is very impressive. Do you have laps under your belt…and probably over, sure. Does that make you good?..no. Show us some kind of amateur points race that you lead or something…don’t tell us how you feel like you good at a track day with a bunch of goobers that are normally the ones Sunday driving in the left lane outside of your HPDE days…lol
Thank you for clearing that up.
I have been running a thread in the mid-Atlantic thread on Audizoo for a while. You should have come out.
The reality is you too are polluting the thread with your BS.
The point of the thread is that at -2800 feet of DA and a great 60 foot time, what’s left on the table? The car has:
MTM downpipes
MTM catback exhaust
LW forged wheels
LW rotors on all four corners
LW battery
LW seats
JHM short shifter
This was the car that was going to do it, and that DA was frankly epic. They even teased that this car made 600 whp on the dyno.
I would have to assume they’re disappointed the car didn’t go 10s.
Sorry, I don’t have any “tricks” to show. This ain’t a damn circus.lol RS4 from the factor is a decent track setup. Didn’t require mods for me to get started. Just like people who track S4’s. It’s about driving ability not how much u can spend. That’s the difference between drag racing and road racing. You can buy success in a 1/4. But you can spend all the money u want on ur car and go out to a road course and it’s not gonna make you look good. Just ask all the R8/ZL1 etc drivers who can’t keep up with my “slow” RS.
You should take your advice and stop talking about the road course.
It would be great if everyone can stick to the topic now. PM me if u want a private/personal conversation. This is always the problem with AR and why many people choose not to come here. Nothing ever stays on topic. It’s rather sad. And no, the run was not with LW wheels.
What wheels did he have? Not his ADV or whatever they’re called?
He hasn’t posted up any information (another reason he’s not on the list). He frankly hasn’t even shown a full timeslip. The one he posted in instagram had a cropped header so you can’t even see if what track.
Is this how the car looked when he ran it? Stock ti wheels?

So since Gibby just ignores your posts with great points, I’ll reiterate
I don’t think Flyingpotatoeguns car has anything left on the table. Smaller lighter weight wheels may help, but I’m not sure they will be 10s worthy. Quite honestly if he doesn’t do it soon in epic DAs I doubt it happens at all. He has a great modlist too.
I’m also sick of the “great for his first time shit” I’d be willing to bet he has been to the strip a few times. He owns a 93TA, right? and a trailazer SS. All those guys do is hit the strip. Launching an AWD car to RWD of FWD is cake…and shifting is shifting if your not a hamfisted fuck. Ok, great for his first time in an RS4 but why does everyone think shop owners are the only people who can drive? Before the AMD car Jason couldn’t have gotte a B5 in the 11s with a rocket shoved in his ass.
Tell him to let me drive it, if anyone can get the best time out of it I think I can.
