LOL ..
Go to the BMW forums .
I am on three BMW forums.

And on those forums - get ready for this bud - some people have Audis. They post all the time and contribute to the knowledge base. Personally, I love Audis and almost bought a b5.

And because I don't own the exact same car as you, it means I can't compliment another European car owner on their progress? Or make a general statement regarding what RPM to launch a car at? Give me a break.

You just made a pretty lame first impression on me, Dave666. And to anyone who reads your immature and pointless post for that matter. I'm neither offended nor going to leave. And EvilA4 - I'm not sure how serious your post was so I'm not really gonna retaliate. No, I don't own an A4 - to answer your question.

Lucky for you guys, I know a lot of Audi guys and this is generally a nice community.

See you guys around the forums,

Steve

Yea I have had some 7000rpm launches but i just got a little wheelspin the the motor bogged. i found I can take off much faster by revving to about 5-6k and slipping the clutch for a split second


What he said, i launch at around 5k when my cltuch is holding and i have wheelspin.

Im with tom, i usually launch around 5500 (not that often) with no wheel spin, and it just throws you in the seat. With my 3071r turbo, theres some lag, so I try to keep the rpms as high as possible, and feather it a little bit. With a stock a4, i see no reason to launch that high.

on behalf of steve, his plans are to save up and do a full m3 engine overhaul and keep it a sleeper (at least not make it look like an m3)...of course im sure the temptation to slap an m3 rear diffuser/front bumper/mirrors will take over soon enough.

I think it would too but for now I'm spending cash on performance mods. M bumper with 3er sideskirts looks awesome though.
