-2800 feet of DA at Island Dragway last night...

B6/7 S4/RS4

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?

#36

Ask daytona/GibsonL for some tips. Here’s some gold.

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.

#38

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.

#42

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.

#43

You should take your advice and stop talking about the road course.

#44

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.

#45

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.

#47

Tell him to let me drive it, if anyone can get the best time out of it I think I can.

#48

Hit him up. That would be fun to see. : )

#49

Wait wait wait…let me get this right…you came here asked how anyone cam make fun of flyingtroll…I told you how amd why…then you said that my answe4 to your question had nothing to do with anything. …I then qhote your question and then go into details on the question you asked…you then tell me thtas not important and its not a popularity contest… no one said it’s a popularity contest…its an answer to your quesrion…then you lash out babbble about going to pm amd then say your going to road raceeveryone and best them…are you medicated…

This is a big issue for APR…why…because the guy who is now trying to back up APR and there time is a huge bullshitter amd troll…if APR would have been represented by someone not such a huge troll then chances are this wouldn’t be such a big deal…add that to a negative DA of almost 3000 feet and you have a shit storm of a troll all his past lies and then this…

I just feel sorry for APR here…this guy is just making this worse…

Auditude haven’t you had a license for like 4 years?

#51

What does shifting fast, launching good and driving in a straight line have to do with how long I’ve had my license?

You either can shift fast and drive a car or your fists are permanently made of ham.

Also plenty of people who have had their license for 20 years and can’t drive for shit.

And I’ve hard my license for almost 7 years but who’s counting.

#52

Lol, just taking a jab at your age and your supreme skills.

I also agree with everything you said. I’ve had a license for 14 so you make me feel fucking old.

#53

I think he’s calling you out for basically saying you’re the best driver anywhere. It was pretty funny.

I would love to see you drive it to. Maybe you can blow up his spec clutch for him and make him get something legit.
