who would win, MY2000 s2000 with i/h/e vs. audi a4 3.2 ?



A friend of mine has the audi and seems confident he can beat me. Before anyone asks, no im not doing this on the street, when I race him it'll be at a strip


google hasn't turned up much info on the times/performance of the a4 3.2 ....all I can find on wiki is that it has ~the same bhp as an s2000, but weighs more and has quattro?
I raced one of these to 3rd gear. walked him good. They are way to heavy. You should pull away from him nicely. 4 or 5 cars in the quarter I suspect.

Alrighty guys...

I got a cocky MS3 that is wanting to run. He has an aftermarket intake (CP-E), motor mount (AWR 88 durometer), and an open DP. I was wondering what kind of power he would be putting down with these mods? Seems like the open DP might actually hurt him, seeing has he has no electronic tuning, whatsoever (just running stock ECU).

I was thinking a 30 roll would be a good race (to 120ish or so), as it would put him in 1st around 5500RPM, which (from what I have read) is where the MS3 engine starts to poop out. If that is unsuccessful, I should be able to take him from a dig because of the boost limitation in gears 1-2, right?

Running tomorrow. I have an INJEN CAI and Comptech CBE. I have a VAFCII installed, but its not tuned yet. I figure I am probably around 200rwhp with my mods...

Any input would be appreciated. Also, he is going to have a friend riding with him to video. And I have about 100lbs of extra audio equipment, but have removed the spare...

Any input welcome! Please discuss....

John
wow, there is a few variables listed here. I raced one from a dig and started on a hill too boot. He paced me all the way to my shut down speed of 85. I have a modded Ap1 that puts down 220hp/146tq to the wheels. I also have no spare tire or jack weight. I'm thinking my power to weight is a bit bette rthen yours and it sounds like this guy could be running better then stock so you have your work cut out for you. Hope he doesn't shift well. I'm thinking its going to be a pretty close race with him possibly walking you slightly. Your 100 extra pounds is going to hurt you more then it will hurt him. I would pull that out of there if you want a good fighting chance.

really? this one douche bag always talks crap with a stock one. Anyway he asked if I wanted to go, and he said he has 240hp to the wheels. I soon found out he doesnt know the difference between whp and crank hp.

im guessing it would be a somewhat decent advantage given the extra weight (not sure how much an r32 weighs in at, but im sure its atleast a little more) and less whp advantage due to AWD, which of course would be bad from a dig, but could work as an advantage from a roll.

BUT the added TQ of the vw.... but you guys think stock vs. stock the s2k should pull from a roll pretty decent?

from a roll an S2k should pull away from an R32.

the new IS350 is a pretty fast car. i think it can take an S2000
