Since you said turbos, i would guess that you are refering to the s4? I had two of those before my evo, and trust me. The claims of 500whp all day....pipe dream. I even had cams and such on my 2nd one. Sure, it would make 355whp on our dyno with race gas, but pull it up to the rollers on 91, and 225whp would be the best you were ever going to see. It was a silly little car....15 or 20k for 20 or 30 hp.

An A4 with a garrett turbo...not so bad, but not even close to evo country.

You obviously weren't boosting enough Dustin. My S4 was almost as fast as my Evo (when in Stage1+ mode). Given I was running triple stock boost and eventually blew both K03s

Thw WRX lacks a lot on torque, the mods that you have should get you close to 300hp to the crank but since you were going up hill the Z28 has greater torque and possibly the advantage.

Remember, the WRX manage to do some decent times on the 1/4 mile because of the AWD but in reality the car has absolutely no top end. As far is the Audi S4, yeah , I would say that if he is stock you could perhaps pull a few feet on him but again remember, the Audi powerplant is a 2.8V6 TT(more torque)

thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I know I didnt stand a chance up a hill and without a launch, I just wanted to see how I'd fair. I've beat plenty of stockish S4's, the one with twin turbos.

Its actually a 2.7 liter. Its the same stroke as the 2.8 but has a smaller bore for durability due to the turbos.
