Facts

I find low 16's in the Quarter mile kinda hard to believe with my audi weighing in at 3300 lbs without driver and only 180 hp, but ok, i need to do some work.

Objection

I find it very hard to believe that a 3300 lb car without driver weight turning all wheels with 180 hp can run a low 16 in the quarter mile, especially with the high speed gearing. Not hating, just pointing out some facts of drag racing and going fast in a straight 1/4 mile interval.

this was a quattro right?
