WHAT ? Thats funny the Mitsubishi Eclipses didnt seem to be having a problem 
last night??????  I have even been in one when someone has dropped the clutch 
at 6,000rpm's. ( he didnt own it) and he won that race while the other car 
was spinning.
I know what everyones going to write you'll blow your transmission. Save it.

    On speedvision a month ago I watched the audi s4 and a acura nsx race 
around the track. Both cars were up front at the start at pole position. The 
guy in the NSX said that if he can some how get the Audi off the line he 
could win "but its all wheel drive" hence the S4 won the race. Now what did 
the driver say at the end "Quattro"
"quattro" 

    Is someone going to tell me that a RWD Buick Regal grand national GNX is 
going to take a AWD GMC Syclone?????????

THIS ONE I LOVE - (Listen, there may be a horsepower war out there, but 
Audi's last priority should be trying to show up Hondas at a local drag 
strip, should it?? )

You want to know what those Honda's were running - 15s, 16s, and 17s. Those 
Audis are 40 thousand dollar cars they should be kicking ass. S4s are 
supposed to be a car that competes with the SAAB vigen, Bmw M3 and what a 
Benz C36.
Let me ask you - If some nerd pulled up in a Honda Civic with his mega phone 
exhaust and stickers and you got blown away would you feel like an idiot????
Your sitting in your blue S4 with polished aluminum mirrors and dash saying 
darn it I just spend 41 thousand on this A4. I know you would nt waste your 
time or race me on some turns WHATEVER. So why did you buy the car ? You 
could have just bought the A4 1.8t if you didnt want to go fast.

     You guys can say what you will BUT last night I was embarrassed. I could 
not believe the cars were so slow. I saw a Maxima SE pull a 14.9. O and as 
for the WRX and S4 on the highway I dont know from what I saw last night I 
think the WRX will take it. I have been in the car and it moves. In the city 
its light to light around here.

As for yes Le mans yes they are representing in the racing world but not on 
the street. Unless, for some reason I have not seen the R8 on the street 
yeat?????
