The S55 barely weighs 4k lbs. And i have not seen an A4 run 14's with a chip alone.

Default 4186LBs and Toaster29 posted a 14.3 on a race program alone.

Most chipped GTIs are posting 14.3. Considering that a FrontTrack A4 is within 100lbs, a mid 14 is logical.

<a href="http://www.edmunds.com/new/2002/volkswagen/gti/18t2drhatchback18l4cylturbo5m/specs.html?id=lin0018">GTI Weight</a>

<a href="http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/audi/a4/4drstd18tsedan/specs.html?id=lin0066">A4 Weight</a>

The A4 has potential, but it's up to the driver in what he does with it.

Default No he knew.. His engine sounds really nice btw. We were on the west side highway. Downtown w/ lights

but very empty. You really don't want to go past 60. He shut down before I did. But he made his point ;-)

SIII would have been interesting Assuming I had 225's. Otherwise I'd be spinning all day.

Default No I knew I was gonna get spanked I just wanted to see how bad.

He didn't know right away which is why I got a slight jump. But afterthat trust me he knew. That engine is really smooth even at WOT.

On a fair start he probably would have taken me by 2 1/2 lengths.

Come to think of it, he probably beat me by 1 1/2 - 2 lengths.
I didn't really think about that till today.
