First of all, its not safe to drive @ 110 mph. (There!  A parental view....:-)

Your car is a Non-q non-t.  This is going to hurt you, big time.  Your car 
was designed for high end speed, but keep in mind you don't have a turbo.  
Your chances are pretty bad.  I myself have troubles with American muscle 
cars, ie old mustang GT 5.0.  They are no slug from 0-100, I'll tell you 
that.  With a turbo, you will be able to whip his butt.  But non-turbo is a 
tuff one.  One thing that might help you is put some alcohol in your car.  It 
burns alot cleaner and will give you that edge.  Or get a octane boost.  A 
BIT more ponies to help you on its way.  Make sure your air filter is clean 
and that you have clean oil.  Check spark to make sure if they are clean.  
Just make sure your car is in its tip top condition.  Most likely the V8 
engine already lost a few of its ponies to its old age.  If you are good to 
your audi, you might have a chance.  Try those.  Other is going to disagree 
with me about the octane boost/alcohol, but IMO.  It cleans dirty injectors 
though...=)
ps- careful driving that fast

<< 	I bet my friend tonight.  
 
 He has a 1987 TPI Camaro IROC-Z V-8.
 
 I have a 1987 Audi 5ks.  It is Non-Q, Non-T.
 
 The bet was that on open, straight highway, who would win the race from
 80 to 110mph. 
 
 20 bucks.
 
 He had to keep it at 110mph because of his governor.   
 I know my car has gone faster than this, not even approaching 5k rpms.
 
 Who is going to win this race?  (granted we don't get stopped by smokey?)
 
 My car is stock, minus the cat.  I believe his is also, minus the cat.
 
 I know that Audis were built for top-end speed and he will beat me on
 0-60 acceleration.  He's done it before.  OTOH, I have beat him on open
 highway, w/ each of us carrying four passnegers.  His top speed can't
 keep up with me.
 
 Any help is appreciated.  Am I going to fourk out twenty bucks?
