I have seen 2906 on a few different sites, the weight may be wrong but I really dont think that there is a 2-300 pound weight difference in just adding options. The 80/90Q come standard with just about everything, other than things like leather, heated seats, and power moonroof. But if you have some other sources i would love to read them.

Check the GRVW rating stamped on your car and also in the owners manual that came with your car. Mine don't jive with the Audiworld specs.

i still dont understand how the 4k can beat the 80 in a 0-60 or quarter. doesnt it have 130 i haveheard 15 more than the 4k. Even though its too is a ten valve 5 cyl. SO do they have equal hp or does another factor seperate the two.

It comes down to usable power, gear ratio, tires, etc. Just because you are putting out 130 ponies doesn’t mean much, many things like parasitic draw affect how much you are actually putting down to the pavement. The figures one needs to really look at is HP at the wheel and not at the crank!

this is true but one would figure a better engine with the 2.3 maybe better piston compression. Maybe the 4k has more lowend toque im not sure of the specs. I def see what your saying though

The 80q runs mid 8's 0-60. the fwd and 4cyl versions run in the 9's. If you live near by we can line them up some time. haha find out on the "road course"

IS that some sort of challange haha. WHat are the specs on your car check out this see what it says for 0-60. some of the 80's are faster but most arent. I dont know how accurate this is. I think of the 4k as more of a crusier and a backroads car rather than a drag car.

lol it was more of a joke then a challenge. Just look at the link I posted for the specs, and its the same time i have seen else where. 8.5 0-60... But anyways I would have to agree on the cruising rather than drag for most audis. Especially the N/A engines. Never the less it doesnt stop me from racing a guy at the light. Especially if its a civic. 8op
