[s-cars] UrS as a Purpose Built Track Car?

[rbade12 at aol.com]

 I don't think it's a stupid idea. I'd personally love to see an older Audi at a SCCA or other vintage event. You may not smoke the field, but, on a wet track I'd bet you'd be tough to keep up with. 

Lifes too short to not do shit you wish, blah, blah. 

I vote go!

OK, I know they weigh a ton, well two to be exact, and I know they have been

dogged on as crappy track cars.  Let me explain my reasoning.



I have a very well sorted B5 S4 with lots of great mods on it and the thing

does very well at the track.  However, it is my daily driver and a very

sweet ride and I don't want to ruin it by taking it to the track as much as

I really want to.



I really would like to stick with an AWD track car.  I have a '92 S4 that my

nephew has been driving through college and will be giving up next winter

when he graduates.  I have owned it 10 years now.  It is in pretty rough

shape from a body and interior perspective but it still runs great after

over 200k miles total and 100k miles peaking out at 21 psi :)



The plan would be to strip it down to bare bones and get all the weight out

of it that I can.  Then put some suspension goodies like 2B coilovers and a

good brake kit on it.



My question is, how much weight can you get out of it by going on a ruthless

diet?  Is this just a stupid idea?
