I did 145 mph to work today, in a car. Might start a topic about it.

let's just say that I don't spend much time looking for videos of people driving cars on the internets

of course, it will never be calculated that way

the torque numbers are even if not more than what the horsypower is at...that is where the extra size makes the difference

Well... you're making it sound as though you only care about acceleration... Don't see how that's much better. :shrug:

I've got a 1.8 with 225 hp and I haven't even done anything to it. I could chip it... but meh... why?

Yup. Granted, it's not naturally aspirated, but then again I don't really care about that.

I'm inclined to agree. I'm hooked on Audis now. My goal is to own an RS sometime. The girlfriend's not too keen on that, but oh well.

(btw... I don't know if you were talking specifically about A4's. I've got a TT)

Nice girl's car you got there :p (I know, I know...the Eclipse isn't exactly masculine either). I wouldn't mind owning an A4/6 but I'm shooting for a BMW as my first high-end car.

I never really thought of TTs as being girlish, but maybe that means my tastes are just too feminine. :icon32:
At least it's not the roadster version -- that would seem pretty girly to me.

I like BMWs too, but I tend to be a fan of cars that are a bit "different" so I'd probably take a z4 if I could. Any BMW would suit me fine, though.

The Z4 is hot. Given that I score a salary job this summer I plan on getting an E46 M3 by the summer of 2007 (gotta pay off this damn car first).

No mate, all Audi’s. Although the A4 is clearly the best of all.

that wasn't a put down, mind you. if we had excellent public transportation like alot of europe does, i would most certainly be using it more often than driving.



p.s. the A4 is sex on wheels.

The peak torque of that 1.8L is 178lb-ft, therefore the 4.6L would have to make 455lb-ft of peak torque. Considering that it would rev to like 8500rpm, that is more than enough torque.
