Terry,

My Audi is a B5 1.8t Quattro Manual w/ the APR stage 3 turbo, pretty much maxed on that turbo. Runs 255awhp on a low reading dyno(Bout 330hp), 0-60 in 4.9, 1/4 mile in 13.5 @ 100mph, but the big thing here is boost response is instantanious, I also pulled a continuous 1.04G's on the skidpad on street tires (I had an autox champion in the pass seat think I had R compounds on it). I actually dont like the quiet comfort of the Audi, and have taken most of that out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


My 914 is in my sig, there are some pics in the "old pics of my car" thread from WCR 05.

Primered black, cowl hood, used to have 5 lug fuchs. Im a young guy w/ red hair. Details on the 914 have changed, cant remember them at that time.. Currently it has the following, to make it short..
v8, 350hp 400lbs+ tq, Holley TBFI, magnaflow mufflers, konis, 275lb rear, Nascar front sway bar, Bontempi flares, Engman long chassis kit, rennshifter, seats, harnesses, turbo twist 17's and 18's, 6" ducktail, Mueller roller bearings, 911 front suspension w/ A calipers(iirc), rear vented stocks.

OK then! You are lucky enough to live in a "toy rich" environment! Both cars sound pretty darn good. I hope you still have the V8 914, I think you are on the right track for a good track car.

How would you like to drive Balls-Out for 20 minutes at a time rather than 50 seconds in a Slalom? Then you get 4 more 20 minute session in a single day!
That's why I'm running track-days at Willow Springs.

Best,
Terry
