Audi RS8 Just Took me for a Walk
Some stock/fast looking Audi was taunting me so I decided to show him where the bear poops. Well, I should have done my homework because he showed me where and how the bear poops. I'm only running a handful of bolt-ons and my last tune only yielded 267whp, since then I upgraded the FMIC, upper & lower IC Piping and swapped my OEM 8 BOV for an OEM 9. I'm doing S2 cams, EBC and Fuel Pump installs before I do my next tune. I was feeling sad about the *** handing until I looked up the Audi..
Audi RS8
4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, 560 horsepower AWD with an eight-speed tiptronic gearbox. 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Price tag of around $130K.
Anyone know what the 1/4 mile time on this would be? ~420 whp sound about right?

I assume this was at the drag strip as part of a sanctioned event, correct?
Also, that's an RS5. Are you thinking if an R8?

The car looked like the car in the photo and it had an RS8 badge on the back, photo updated to what I believe to be an RS8, I think these are new for 2014. I believe this is the car,

Even a mere S8 will stomp most evos. Not sure the RS models are even imported?

There are quite a few sleeper cars like this, though.
Grassroots Motorsports did a piece on the RS4 as a used car. They said it was an amazingly cheap performance car for the money.
I think most gearheads don't take those family cars seriously (ironically, the evo is a family car lol) so they don't know what they're capable of.
