Drag racing times

[TM]

I think doing a 80tq conversion with EFI is definitely the
way to go for an awesome all-around daily driver type car.

How much reliability are you willing to sacrifice to turn up
the boost a lot and run it on the ragged edge?

Forget about the 1320, let's hear some lap times. :-)

Hmm, ok, I was trying to be conservative =)  Ok, so in Road and Track it
states that an E55 AMG will do 12.4 at 116, all for $75k, imagine a little
tweeking and some slicks would get it closer to 12 flat, and an S4
totalling about $130k is about the same...

Hmm, so when I turn up the boost to 22psi and hit Sears Point on a cool
night and run a 12.5+, I guess I'll feel like I won $100k considering
the $10-15 I've got in mine(including the car)  =)
