Audi Ur-Q vs. Mustang 308

[TM]

I agree w/ Dennis- in drag racing, there is no way that a stock UrQ will
beat a worked Mustang 302, if the drivers are of equal skill.

I always wonder why a lot of people over at Audiworld drag race their
cars. I could buy a Buick GN for less than 1/2 what they're paying for
their cars and crush them at the drag strip all day long. Audis are not
made for drag racing and it takes a lot of $$$ to make them do well at
the drag strip. OTOH, Mustangs, GNs, Camaros, Firebirds and Vettes are
all quite good at the drag strip and much cheaper, w/ the exception of
the Vette.

This is maybe the 4th or 5th post I've seen about outrunning 5.0 Mustangs
with URQ's.
At first I just let it go, since my URQ wasn't set up right, I had no frame
of reference.
Well, I finally got mine running quite well (I think it's as good as a stock
URQ will run), and have the original Road & Track road test. R&T reported a
0-60 time for the '83 URQ of 8.2 seconds. That is a little slower than I
think they run, but it's close. Most stock 5.0 Mustangs will turn low 7's.
Built 302 stangs will get into the 6's quite easily. Make no mistake, I am
_not_ a dorf fan, and I _don't_ dispute your claim in any way, but I know
the
decent condition Mustangs around here would seriously blow me off the line.
Thirty and up might be closer, but to 30 it wouldn't even be close.
I have a 330HP LT4 that will handle the dorfs, but they run closer the Vette
then to the URQ.
Am I missing something here. If my stock URQ will run 0-60 in the high 6s to
low 7s, I want to know how to do it!
