4k rally car

[Todd Phenneger]

 N reason to really.   The Sport Quattro was SO difficult to drive.  It was lighter and faster but even the professional drivers had trouble with it.  The 4ktq makes sucha  fast Rally car as is that why change it.   I just watched one beat the leading Hydai's on a stage or two at Wild West.  What fun.

Isn't that like the S1? Or do you mean the sedan? You just watch.
Audi is making a come back. These past two years Audi has been rebuilding
it's name after that obscene, whiny "it just took off on me!" BS. I've seen
more and more Audis on tv in races lately than ever in the past ten years.
The drive that red 4K sedan that held third place behind Sprongl and the
Ubersue Works cars was GOLD! I don't remember which venue but it was early
2000 or late 99, when Sprongl in his Audi coupe lost a tranny and had those
noises coming from a loose heat sheild.
