Stupid Race Topic, Audi Quattro Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I raced an Audi Quattro today. It was a really good race. I love those kind, were it's about as close as it can get. I like them, win or lose. I thought the car was a VW Cabrio, but it had four circle things on the back, and I found out it was the Audi. The thing is, this thing is suposed to have 165hp. I'm modded, but not much. The car is also suposed to be AWD, so maybe that's what counted for the win. I know he was trying, because after I out ran him, he did the ricer flyby, and kept going. Very nice looking car. I'm kinda happy, because it's nice to be reminded that I can outrun a cuple things on the road. Anyone know any more about these Quattros?

Im assuming you mean the Quattro Coupe, sold here from 83 to 85 ? If so, the car was designed specifically to be a car that could win rallies- and therefore it has lots of potential in terms of tuning. Even unmodded, the car makes 160 hp and 181 lb of torque, and weighs in at just over 2200 lbs. This is why the car is quick. age probably accounted for the car's poor performance. Europeans had evolution models that made MUCH more power, and they also got the short wheelbase S1 monster. This car is NOT to be confused with the same-bodied coupe GT that was sold here from 82 to 87... I agree that this car looks good, I think it still is remarkably fresh for a 25 year old design. Everybody was shocked in geneva in 1980 when the car debued to the public- a 4WD sportscar, with 5 cylinders no less? They laughed the car off until the Algrave Rally at the end of 1980- one car was allowed to be a timed "reece" car- If the car was competing in the rally- it would have won by 26 Minuetes! Subsequent rally models produced anywhere from 300 to 550 HP, so the engine is defenitly capable in these cars to crush a lot newer machinery. Another interesting note is that the first rally quattros were NOT Group B machines, they were group 4. The phenominal sucess of the auti lead the FIA to revise the classification system, and in turn Group B was created so other manufacturers could create equally wild machines. All of them are cool cars in my eyes.

Is this the car you mean?
