The A6 is much too big and too heavy to be an effective autocross contender. A rabbit, being smaller and lighter, will work out much better.

I don't know... i think the rabbit would be nice but I saw a video of a Rs4 vs a rabbit with a twin turbo kit(650HP)... They ran autocross and quarter mile. The rabbit beat the STOCK rs4 by 6-7 seconds in a autocross and .3 of a second in the quarter. I will look for the video I thought it was pretty intresting.

Well by switching from an a6 to a rabbit I believe you are obviously looking to go faster I was just letting people know about a hatch (650HP) vs stock rs4. I just found it intresting how a stock rs4 could keep up with a 650HP car. Both cars wouldn't set "records". They would guide you to more fun being faster.

Since your name is reverend and you said auto cross - does that mean your looking for an automobile that automaitcally crosses itself?

Just wondering!


PS I agree with the guys that say the A6 is not the best alternative for auto crossing (aka Solo II) I had a lot of fun with an Alfa GT JR and modified VW bug.. If I were going to do it today I'd probably go with a Miata or something like that.
