This point needs repeated from time to time: The A4 is a sport sedan, a GT car at best, not...
a drag racer. The Lexus with that Supra treatment will be nothing but a drag racer. The Supra is nothing but a drag racer. Yes, it looks sporty, but it is a piece of **** on any track that is not a straight 1/4 mile unless you replace everything on the car. Everyone worried about drag racing should go and buy a Toyota, more power to you. Power is not all there is to a car. Everyone who talks about hp numbers only and is swayed to buy a car based on them is either 1) a drag racer and shouldn't be in an A4, or 2)revealing their ignorance about automotive performance and their complete lack of experience when it comes to high performance driving.

They are OK for street cars, but they make horrible track cars. People have tried. In fact...
there are only a couple in the world used as track cars in real motorsports series, and they are completely rebuilt cars with no stock specs. i repeat: they are not a good handling car. I don't want to hear any stories of people's friends' Supras that handle great. The fact is that they do not have the best (or even close to the best) chassis for road racing. What they do have is a fantastic powertrain capable of handling whatever you thorw at it. In other words, a great drag racer. Is it any wonder this is what everyone sues them for.
