Default Worlds fastest a4 -can anyone beat this?

Ok, I happend to catch this, they're still at it....

from their website:





Car:

Tapp Auto 1997 Audi A4 Quattro




Engine:

Stock 1.8T




Output:

570whp / TQ @ rpm
Download the dyno plot here




Details:

In the summer of 2005 on it's first trip to the dragstrip, this car went 11.91 @115 mph. At the time it had a completely stock AEB 1.8 liter engine. Stock cams, internals, everything. The car was also stock weight of course, around 3370lbs of so. This was after dynoing about 380 whp on high octane fuel. It also ran 12.5 with lower boost and 94 octane. At the time the mods were; -3071 t3 flanged turbo -Our equal length stainless manifold -Tial 38mm external wastegate -60 lb high impedance injectors -Tapp Auto custom software in stock ECU -front mount intercooler -3 inch exhaust system -larger maf housing -fuel pump upgrade -clutch upgrade That was it, otherwise stock
On may 6th, the Audi ran 10.82@ over 130mph, Making it the worlds fastest and quickest A4. It is also the fastest 1.8T powered car still running a bosch ecu.

I think the only person on track to beating that is Mike Hood on audizine, he's running a GT35 with a whole heap of 034 parts and standalone, dynoed at 550+whp.

Tapp's car REALLY needs some suspension, I bet if it had some stiffer springs so it didn't lurch so bad, it'd get way better times.

it badly needed a better suspension, it looked like its was launching off a aircraft carrier, probably one the most violent AWD launches ive seen.

You have to remember, this was a professional tuners personal car... I can't imagine how much time he must have spent getting that tune perfect for that much power.

Haha that suspension lurch is awsome, ghetto hydros. I think its time to invest a few hundred into some stiffer coilovers!

He is no longer at it. He has sold that A4 and moved on to an Audi TT that is currently running 12.5.

He ran 12.2 with his GTI 1.8T last night at the track. I know this because he is my tuner... he installed my K04 and i have his Eurodyne tuning.. he's a crazy smart guy!

Peace
