sorry for being a bit off of the "350z vs a4" topic but can anyone tell me why quattro was banned?
they kept winning and no one was a challenge since no one else had AWD

Ah ok thank you chaos for helping clear this up but it is possible for an A4 to out perform/handle a 350z on the track right? It would just takesa tonof mods or is this still out of the questiion
im not really familiar with Z's. it would all come down to which had more work. a stripped 1.8T with some new differentials would perform very well

i don't know what was done to the A4, but it sat right next to the 350z in a straight line


I have driven the 350z, it is an amazingly fun car to drive, I loved it!

if I was hitting the track on the weekends I would prolly want to do it in a 350 rather than my A4, although the A4 would definately be fun as well

My good friend owns a 350z well now its twin turbo'd so it blows me out of the water, but when i just had a chip and everything else, it was past me for sure, but i wasnt tooo tooo far behind it-Third is where i just lost it completly and then worse from there, but the car handles amazingly, when i drove it he told me to take traction off that thing was sliding sideways like the quattro in the snow, such a easy controlled slide. Now with the TT's its just out of controll.

I know that stock vs stock, my Miata (which is like the Hello Kitty version of a Z) can go around corners, brake, and launch quicker (as lona as the road is dry) than my A4.

If the arguement was mainly the fact that the rwd can smoke an awd tell that loser to race his 350 up against an awd skyline. That'll shut him up!
