98 a4 2.8 vs. '06 mazda rx8
 

hey im just looking for some other opinions, i own a 1998 audi a4 2.8Q with a K&N intake and a Speedtuning chip and i was asked to race a stock 2006 mazda rx8...i could either pick a 1/4 mile race or 3/4 mile do you think i would have a chance of winning, and which distance doyou think the car would perform better in vs. the rx8

I think you don't have a chance in either distance, assuming the RX8 driver is at least semi-capable.

walk you hard either way,

your both running a ~15 sec quarter mile. its gona come down to the driver. but keep it at a quarter mile, he should walk away from you after that

lol throw a supercharger on there and try again

Those RX-8s aren't fast, they just look it. But he'd take you.

I was under the impression that the A4 with the 2.8 would run closer to a 16 second 1/4 mile? (i.e. it's about as fast as my Odyssey minivan):D

Either way, it's not going to beat an RX8.
