Default thinking of buyin an audi

i currently drive a celica GTS hp to weight ratio is pretty good considering i get about 175-180+ to the wheels with headers and intake and the car weighs 2500 lbs. if i go the NA route id could reach the high 13s in the quarter. traction is the problem. For instance even if i go turbo making about 250-260 hp to the wheels(which cost 5gs), my best would still be the mid 13s. i have a 11.5:1 compression on the car so 7 psi would probably be the safest to run so i could never break the 270 whp barrier. even if i did traction is an issue. i was looking into buying an audi because i wanted to be different. either this car or a wrx. i know this car has potential but , but the car weighs about 3200-3500 lbs. and even if i get 300 hp to the wheels how much will it cost me. And also will i be able to break 12s in the quarter. if 300 wont get me to break at least the hight 12s how much hp would i need and how much would it cost me.

What are you? Some kinda idiot!? he was talking about how much money do you have to spend on the audi? good luck getting into the 12's you have to be a good driver. and drivin audis is harder than drivin toyotas

15000. i know 4wd are different to drive but driving a car like mine with so little torque is pretty hard to me. especially because you have to launch at a high rpm to keep it in power band then let the car bog for a split second so the wheels dont spin in order to get decent 60 ft times. best ive done is 2.2-2.3. the thing is its hard to be consistent in the launch because of too many factors to consider.

Your post has me so lost now. How about you rephrase your question. Forget your past cars and all that stuff. What do you want to know? How much money it will take you to get into the 12's?
