I'm glad Type R's don't have sound insulation. Less work to do =)

Spending lots of time and breathing nautious fumes from griding this stuff off down to the bare metal.

...and I'm going to do it without stripping it, and still on the stock turbos. 2:08.6 was already done on Kumhos, stock suspension & stock ECU. I think I left 2 seconds out there on the track. Hoosiers instead of Kumhos should get another second. Suspension should be good for 3-4 seconds, and a 100 octane chip+downpipes should be good for another 3-4 seconds.

I like driving my Audi on the track because it's AWD. I'm never going to be a professional racecar driver, so if a Boxster would make me a better driver faster than an S4 would is not something that really matters to me -- I like the S4, and if I can drive it faster than another car, well, then it sounds like I made a good decision.

Someday, this S4 may become more of a track car. It may have 450-500hp by then, and be lightened by a few hundred pounds. At that point, I'll be gunning to break 1:55 at TWS.
