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

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

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)

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