Default If I want to transform my car to a race car...

Am I better off staying with AWD or going to RWD? Should I go diesel or atleast find a larger motor to replace the 2.8l? Is auto better than standard on a road track?

The only race I would buy an Audi for is a rally. Audi's are heavy, man. If you want a race car (as opposed to a luxury sport sedan) go buy something else to start with... You can make an audi fast, but the cost to performance ratio is far lagging behind other, less expensive cars, and you will always be heavier.

Just take the engine out and put two jet engines in it. That should help.
