I heard, I saw, I came: a 510hp, 10.82 sec 1/4 mile A4

[PRY4SNO]

Yes. You read right, and this is no prank.

A friend (floater) called me tonight with news that this beast is heading into his local indy shop for some maintainence (same guy who did my Unitronic flash).

2.0L stroker 30-series turbo 97 A4, 510 hp/410 tq. (http://tappauto.com/project.cfm?ProjectID=15)

He said that there's no inlet pipe for the turbo... it's wide open.

There's a page with videos of the car doing some dyno and 1/4 mile runs. Clicky click (http://tappauto.com/page.cfm?id=7)

So.

They lock out the front and convert that a4 to RWD? Those are some crazy numbers by the way!

[PRY4SNO]

I honestly have no idea. I found out about this five minutes ago...

But there's some serious dive going on there under acceleration.

Word on the street is he drives this car daily.

But it's news to me so I thought I'd share... especially since some guys are claiming they're the fastest in the world with their cars and they don't hold a candle stick to this car.

BTW, here's some dirt on the build to help flesh it out a bit more.

Actually that car cant "claim" to be the fastest anymore. Fastest A4 time at this point is 10.69 at 135+ mph and puts down over 600whp[:p]

So who's car cant hold what candle to what car?

[sean1.8t]

aaaaaaaaaaand mike's here. wow, didn't think it'd take that long haha

but mike, i've never seen a 600whp dyno on your car(cause there isn't one) so is it really right to claim that if there isn't one?(and yes, i know the dyno you used "reads low", but that really shouldn't matter. i think you should dyno on a more favorable reading dyno at least) ship your car to EPL :p

[MikeWasHere05]

Is that car full weight? How much time you think he could knock off if he went on the average weight loss diet? (Carbon fiber hood, trunk, take out back seats, take out passenger seat, lightweight drivers seat, AC delete, radio/speakers, etc.)

Yes he was full weight. But he also ran full C16 and in temps that were around 40-50 degs. Asking what his car might do if it was lighter is like asking what my car would do in 40-50 deg temps instead of the 80 degs I ran in.[:p]


Its really hard to say what he would have ran if it was lighter because he didn't, same goes for what my car would run in 40-50 deg temps since those aren't temps I usually run in.

Sorry to tell you but my car could have passed smog too. Yes he ran 10.8 first, but that still doesn't make his car the "fastest".[:p]
Also lets not forget that was a shop car with shop money behind it, while my car is just a hobby for me. So if anything thats where the apples to oranges comes in, plus the fact that his car was ndbw and my car was dbw so there is a huge difference in trying to make a car run 10's on the full dbw ECU setup so it wasn't like I had a choice to stay with the ECU if I wanted to really push the limits of this car.

But here is more facts. Ctapp had to run a ABA and straight c16 to run single run of 10.82 and IIRC that was his only run in the 10's. I on the other hand am still running a ATW block on stright 110 octane and ran back to back runs of 10.82, 10.69 and 10.81.

The real deal or not the only thing that matters at this point is who ran the faster ET right?

How about fastest DBW A4??? [:(]

That shouldn't be too hard Don, I think my best time as a dbw car was only 12.4 because the ecu kept closing the ecu to 40% when the maf would max out and that would happen in every gear going down the track. That was the reason I went to stand alone because for 6-9 months I couldn't get GIAC to retune my car.

12.1 - 11.8 = .3 sec (But I have a better trap speed)

Tons of reasons I think.

Variables
#1 Driver
#2 track conditions

Hardware differences:
#1 He has an AEB head (large port) - Me = Small port ATW - sucks
#2 He has a solid tune that was custom tuned by CTAPP on his dyno. I have a weak (on purpose due to generic nature (mail order)) tune... I plan to have this corrected @ some point.

#3 He is a 2.0L stroker motor - I have a 1.8L

Well that is pointless now seeing that issue was 3 years ago and using diodes for anything else then the map sensor being used at that time. Plus making 400+whp on a dbw A4 wasn't the norm or was maxing out a dbw maf sensor in a 3.5" housing. [:p]

Dude, this is what i miss about this site, your silly arguments lol

Seriously though, GT35R, manifold and 3" exhaust, Blow through Ford sensor and his own tuning. Stock suspension and all.
Your Carbon fibre stuff and steering wheel probably cost more than his whole setup.

Also mike, not sure if CT ran an ABA, but that doesnt do anything for performance, i should know as i've tried them all in 2001. [;)]

But your car is the fastest and no one is taking credit away, also, there's no one really trying, Tapp's car was sold, call him up and find out how much money he has into it. He just doesnt spend money on anything, and i'd bet that you have at least 3 times the amount into your car if you want to keep going.[:D]

Your just not getting it are you. I am not trying to argue the fact of what amount of money he spent. Just pointing out that if it was a customer car they would have had a nice big fat bill for what he did in the car and as you can see I dont own a shop which means I was "billed" for the work done just like any "customer" would. So comparing the amount of money spent on the 2 cars is pointless seeing that not everyone can do their own build and do their own custom tuning on the ecu, which means normal people would have to do exactly the same thing for a built car with custom tuning to run in the 10's. This is exactly why there aren't a ton of A4's doing just that.

Your wrong about my CF and steering wheel. First off I only had a CF hood and CF trunk on my car when I made my runs, the cost of those 2 CF parts was less then his GT35r turbo so I dont know where you were trying to go with it but as you can see you were dead wrong.[:p]

Oh and as for my CF doors, dont worry they cost me way less then what he had spent under his hood but I guess I just got lucky for getting them at the price I did. [:D]

Let me try to get this through your thick skull.

Part out both cars, see how much you can get for each. The parts in your car are worth a lot more.

As far as Tapp's car, it doesn't have much into it, the software would cost you $600 then you'd need injectors and a ford maf, if you think that these items cost a ton then that's fine.
As far as your car goes, i had a 35R before you, broke records, sold it. See my braggin? Dude, you're like a walking billboard [:D] Considering running for president anytime soon? jk

This isnt an issue, DBW vs DBC that is. Both ecu's can be made to make tons of power, proven in the R32's, you just eliminate the maf and run it off the map, can even put a nice intake there[up]

Thick skull? First off most of my money was put into my engine twice because I have been racing it for 8 years not just a hand full of runs down the track like Ctapp. Lets try not to forget that if you didn'nt already know.

The only difference betwen his car and my car for hp parts was the fact that I am running stand alone while he did his "custom" tunning on his NDBW ecu. I ran a manifold that I went out and had made when no one else was making tube manifolds for the A4, Ctapp used a manifold that was designed by someone we both know and sold to Ctapp behind their back by the person that was building them which seems to do this type of things to just about everyone.

yes people can "buy" his programming for $600 now, but that still doesn't tell you how much it would have cost the first time if it was a customer. How many of those A4 customers of his that bought that tune are running 10.8? Oh wait that number would be ZERO. [:p] Plus as you can see with a easy search on any A4 site that his tune doesn't always run "perfect" when used by a customer.


Oh so when someone post up a "fastest A4" of a slower time I guess I dont have a right to actually tell them they are wrong seeing that someone "HAS" ran faster since that Ctapp car ran its time. [confused]

I never said I was the first to run a GT35r, never even said I was the first to run in the 10's. Just stating the facts that the Ctapp no longer holds the record as fastest A4 1.8t PERIOD.

Wow, i feel dumber by even trying to make sense out of what you wrote.
Tapp tuned his own car for free, the tune is worth around $600, your IIc, $1750, plus you dont know how to install and tune so add another $$$$$

As far as your manifold, you had yours made, and so did Tapp, I don't understand what you're trying say, neither of you did your own manifolds, however Gavin has put down around the same hp as you did with a cast Iron log manifold, this is the reason why i say that the logger's a better choice cost vs performance vs reliablity.
As far as the number of people running 10's with his software, i dont know, i dont know who has bought that software for me to track it, however if you get a chance and can send me a full report then PM me and i'll give you my contact and we'll keep tabs on it.

And you have all the right to say that you have the fastest A4, I just don't understand why you even keep bringing this up, you have the Fastest A4, but Tapp's car, IN MY OWN OPPINION is more impressive, that doesn't mean that everyone in this forum has to agree with me, however i have seen pics of your car and it doesn't look very streeable, also your "hate" track record will not earn you any points has every time something fast gets posted you just stick your nose in and try to downgrade it somehow, be it the guys from NY or Tapp in this case.

Again Mike, you have the fastest A4 as far as I know, but Tapp's car's more impression in my oppinion.

actaully Tapps tune is $700 for the base file and like $110 an hour to dyno tune. So maybe $1200 bucks for a custom dyno tune if you drive to ontario. That still costs less the the standalone its self.

Also lets not forget that was a shop car with shop money behind it, while my car is just a hobby for me

Hahah you are kidding right???? Considering your car is practically worked by 034. You even rock the 034 "stickers"...

btw I think the car would run faster if it were lighter than if you ran in 50 degree temps. given relative humidity being the same.


It has was worked on by 034 but it is not owned by them and the money put into it was my own not 034's. What does having stickers on the car have to do with it being a shop car? I have stickers of many different shops on my car.


It was my choice to put the stickers on my car, it isn't like I have to as a contract or are forced to put them on.


As for spending butt loads of money, I am sure nearly everyone on this site that mods their cars does exactly the same. I have just been doing it for nearly 8 years with 4 different turbo setups. The engine builds are just part of making power and putting plenty of miles on the engine while racing for 7 years.



the tune is worth around $600, your IIc, $1750.

Yes my IIc cost that but it isn't what I paid. But I would rather have a stand alone at that price then have to keep buying chip tuning every time I want to change mods. Plus it isn't like the people that buy his chip can just tune it on the fly with a lap top. I guess thats just an advantage of the stand alone for the extra price. Other nice thing about the stand along is being able to just load up new files and change between 2 files while driving the car, even at WOT if I want.

[mike-2ptzero]

You better fix "lawyer" before he gets you on that.

LOL, I left out a letter not made up a new word by using another.[;)]

[onemoremile]

Your just not getting it are you. I am not trying to argue the fact of what amount of money he spent. Just pointing out that if it was a customer car they would have had a nice big fat bill for what he did in the car and as you can see I dont own a shop which means I was "billed" for the work done just like any "customer" would. So comparing the amount of money spent on the 2 cars is pointless seeing that not everyone can do their own build and do their own custom tuning on the ecu, which means normal people would have to do exactly the same thing for a built car with custom tuning to run in the 10's. This is exactly why there aren't a ton of A4's doing just that.

Your wrong about my CF and steering wheel. First off I only had a CF hood and CF trunk on my car when I made my runs, the cost of those 2 CF parts was less then his GT35r turbo so I dont know where you were trying to go with it but as you can see you were dead wrong.[:p]


Oh and as for my CF doors, dont worry they cost me way less then what he had spent under his hood but I guess I just got lucky for getting them at the price I did. [:D]



You called out the CT car as a shop car versus you as a privateer. You started this. Tapp's car was assembled very quickly, ran very impressive times, and then was listed for sale at about 16 grand. Other than the ecu tuning it could have all been done at home in a garage. Dude gets mad props for that. [up]

FWIW, the reason your carbon parts were so inexpensive was due to sponsorships. Those sponsorships tend to blur the line between a shop car, shop sponsored customer car, and a home DIY type paying list price for his gear. Retail price on a Vorsteiner hood is awful damn close to a 35R, cheaper if you add in shipping and handling costs.

Either way, let it go. This thread is about Tapp's old car and it's second or third coming. Please let this thread be about someone else's car. Start your own thread if you want to argue about dibs or adjusted altitude or whatever.

I agree with onemoremile. Those discounted carbon parts as well as many other parts did come at a price i.e. logos placed on your car.

EIP had offered to sponsor my turbo 16v a couple of years ago, I would have to pay very little as well, did that mean that there was no money "into" my car? lol

Actually that is not true at all. I bought my CF trunk on a GB right here on AZ. The Vorsteiner hood I got from dave at eurocode for a great price because he is a friend and he wanted me to try it out since it was a new hood hitting the market, plus I really needed a replacement for my crushed stock hood at the time. I got my doors at a killer price because the shop asked to use my doors to produce the molds, fred was the one that setup the deal to use my doors. So all 3 had nothing to do with sponsorships at all. That door deal did turn into a business relationship with that shop.



I agree with onemoremile. Those discounted carbon parts as well as many other parts did come at a price i.e. logos placed on your car.

Read above. None of them were part of sponsorships. I have many Fiber Images parts but NO Fiber Images sticker on the car, nor do I have a Vorsteiner sticker.[confused]

I have shop names on my car because I take the car to drag events and do so people can see them and know what type of products are on the car. The stickers get changed all the time and the car does tend to have no stickers on it from time to time, so it isn't like I "must" have the stickers on it.

right, because david's friend would have just given any one of us that hood. cause it had nothing to do with your car being what it is. same thing with the doors. your car is what it is, don't try to deny that. you get price breaks and deals because of who you are and your sponsorships. your "shop car" argument is quite comical. so far it's your best argument and it doesn't even hold water[:p]

and i agree with Paul. your car is the fastest, no one is trying to disprove that so i don't know why your panties are in a bunch..

but Chris Tapp's car is more impressive as it took less time and a LOT less money to do 10's. like 4 years ago

[onemoremile]

I never said I paid list price, I posted up above that I didn't pay retail. But most of the sponsorship from 034 was for labor and some discount.


The larger stickers are of shops that actually gave me free parts to test. But at this time I also sell those parts at discounted prices to other AZ memebers[:p]

For those on here that don't know:

When a company gives an individual parts or services at a discounted rate (or free) it's called a sponsorship. You get a deal....they get their parts on a recognizable car.

I love debating with people who actually argue AGAINST their own contention.

Can you do a price breakdown on retail stuff in your car? I'm sure i can do Tapp's.

Note, this isn't an argument.

If anyone knows about sponships it usually comes with a "contract" that must be signed and rules must be followed. I have yet to sign 1 contract.



like 4 years ago

LOL, those are some major counting skills you have. Are we in 209 already? If you dont know how to count, summer 2005 to Jan 2008 is almost 3 not 4.[:p]

Yes. gavin even had the 034 stand alone on his car well before I did. He was the one that talked me into going with the 034 stand alone.

I've never signed one either but mountain bike companies saved me a small fortune. Rather than give me a season's worth of $600 wheelsets I'd product test them on a satisfaction guaranteed basis. I went through more than 20 wheels in a season once for free. Went through frames, jackets, gloves, disc brakes, everything. I've had to sign non-disclosure agreements for prototype parts but all the freebies and deep discounts were a handshake or a good guy deal. The bro buddy hookup or whatever.

Contracts or not, it was a sweet deal and constituted sponsorship. If I had stickered over their brand names and worn someone else's jersey that gravy train would have tossed me off, backed up, and run me over. I was - just as you are now - a billboard. A marketing tool. That is a very good gig if you can get it. Just be sure to give credit where it is due.

Point I was making was that I was never asked to put stickers on my car. I am the one that asked the shops for the stickers after the work was done and keep doing so every time I change the car. If you want your more them welcome to call up each shop owner(034, purems, full-race, JHM, ER) and ask them who it was that suggested putting the stickers on my car.[:p]

This is why I said I can take them off during events or take pics of the car without any stickers when I want. I put the stickers on the car to help the shops when I can.

As for eurocode there are zero of their stickers on my car. I have asked for some plenty of times but can never get dave to actually send me some. Only thing I have with the eurocode name on it is the race jacket that I was given by them and was given that jacket because of me not my car. At this time I can only wear it when racing their cars, but am trying to talk them into letting me wear it when I run my car since it is way better then my old fire jacket.


BTW I have Audizine stickers on my car too. Does that mean they sponsor my car? No, just means I am willing to put the sticker on my car to help promote the site. It is the same thing I do with the shops.

*bangs head agains wall*

No one is talking about stickers!!!! The discussion was that you got very good deals and are quasi-sponsored......which derails your argument about how Tapp's car was a "shop car" and you're just off on your own paying a fortune (which Im sure you still have done).

There is a huge difference between a customer getting great deals on parts/labor and a shop car. If you dont know that then I dont know what to tell you.

So I guess by what your saying is that this means all the people I give great deals to on parts is also sponsored by me? [confused]

I only brought up that fact because it was just odd that you said almost 4 years when most people that have been around long enough knows no A4's were running 10's in 2004.

I said "david" is a friend of MINE. He gave me a deal on the hood because I needed a hood to replace my stock hood that was smashed during the wreck on the way to WaterWagons.


same thing with the doors. The doors price was because the shop didn't want to spend the money to buy a set of stock doors. So they asked fred if he knew someone that would be willing to remove their doors, allow them to shave off the bottom clips so they could make a mold of each one. Fred setup all of that up and the price and then asked me if I would want to be the one to do that. I had no problem with that because I wasn't driving my car on the street so it wasn't like the down time was an issue.

...
you know what's funny... i was counting the number of times mike hoods car was mentioned before he mentioned it... the number was 0


If you noticed my first reply was.

Actually that car cant "claim" to be the fastest anymore. Fastest A4 time at this point is 10.69 at 135+ mph and puts down over 600whp

So who's car cant hold what candle to what car?


So I guess telling someone that their info wasn't correct as it still being the fastest A4.



i thought the 034 VRT A4 was faster?

No, that cars fastest time was in the 10.9's at the Eurotuner GP. 034 doesn't really drag race that car since they built it for road racing and time attack events.

in the 1/8 :D

Sup paul, yeah man shes not as fast as I'd like though. Its probably because of my O2 sensors being bad/unplugged

Vag log coming soon , been real busy w/ studying for my series 7 that i take in a week.

[PRY4SNO]

The person that posted the thread claimed the TAPP car that ran 10.8 to be the FASTEST and that no one here can hold a candle to it.

Woah, woah, woah, WOAH HORSE!

Take it easy.

I said, and I quote:


But it's news to me so I thought I'd share... especially since some guys are claiming they're the fastest in the world with their cars and they don't hold a candle stick to this car.

I'll take a sec to flesh this out since it's growing a bit too much here.

I posted this thread in response to A4 TSCHUSS's signature that says "World's fastest owner driven B6 A4" which the first time I read it sounded like bullshit, and wanted to call him a lying liar. But before I stuck my foot in my mouth I found out (big thanks Lee, a.k.a. rxrep) there's a bit more behind the comment, as it is really an Aesopean code within the forum community. Key words, 'owner driven' and 'B6' stopped me from calling him out.

[PRY4SNO]

Yes my car is what it is because I take it out racing all the time and because that is what I was doing with it is the reasons I am able to the good prices from shops as sponsorship deals. Actually nearly every shop I have dealt with ends up turning into a good friendship. At this point I am now a dealer for each one of those shops that had given me great deals.

Okay, you said it.

SPONSORED.

[PRY4SNO]

So I guess telling someone that their info wasn't correct as it still being the fastest A4.

Way to put words in my mouth. Funny, you still can't win an argument you create yourself.

I never said it was the fastest A4. I was intoning that it was faster than some who claim to drive the world's fastest A4. But I stopped myself before I put my foot in my mouth.

Maybe you should take notes and do the same.

[PRY4SNO]

Wait - if you remove the giant FAT HEAD from behind the wheel, isn't that worth like .5 in the 1/4?

LMFAO until my g/f said to stop because it was so loud.

Oops, there I go again!

hahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahaha

[PRY4SNO]

Hahah you are kidding right???? Considering your car is practically worked by 034. You even rock the 034 "stickers"...

btw I think the car would run faster if it were lighter than if you ran in 50 degree temps. given relative humidity being the same.

And just to kick some sand now...

I think so too. When it comes to acceleration and deceleration, power to weight ratio is such a big deal... heard of a guy that goes by JET JOCKEY?

Not to mention if he ditched the stock suspension (saving yet more mass) and likely brakes (again, mass), then the doors/hood/trunk and we're talking about some serious gains.

Since you have so much time to post during the work day, and cash to inject into your old car why not just drive up here to Calgary and I'll arrange for the guy who now owns the car to drag you? Then you cry yourself home thinking about what you'll need to do to clearly beat him.

Eh?

they both have a4's runing 2.0liters, gt35r's, running somewhat similar times. the only difference is the way they chose to tune them, and mikes came out on top.

[TighTT]

Tactic, Calm yourself.

You do not need to take shots against Tapp auto to heart, You dont work for them or even use their products.

Your comments (which were over the top and uncalled for w/ all those wasted posts) will only add fuel to the fire

F that ish. His comments were not over the top at all. Mike overreacted (as per usual) and contradicted himself numerous times (as per usual) and no one is allowed to call him out?? If anyone ever makes references to a fast or powerful A4....you can always count on Mike to chime-in with his $0.01 (AS PER USUAL) [down]

Look, I hold no allegiances to Tapp. Or 034. If any allegiances are to be held, it's to Audi. Word? [:)]

I was merely marveling at the superior product he produced.

Perhaps the posts were unwarranted, but one must defend oneself when their thread gets hijacked by someone who even had the gall to put words one's mouth. Then go off topic on a horrendous tangent and call out people on their grammar/spelling mistakes when he's being nothing but a hypocrite. So I stand by my posts; hence them not getting deleted. Believe me, I deleted a couple.

Hell, I actually have nothing but respect for what Mike has accomplished. He's got an amazing car. But he's being a dick with no cause. I'm not the one who posted thirty times about something unrelated to the intention of the post in the first place.

[mike-2ptzero]

Woah, woah, woah, WOAH HORSE!

Take it easy.

I said, and I quote:



I'll take a sec to flesh this out since it's growing a bit too much here.

I posted this thread in response to A4 TSCHUSS's signature that says "World's fastest owner driven B6 A4" which the first time I read it sounded like bullshit, and wanted to call him a lying liar. But before I stuck my foot in my mouth I found out (big thanks Lee, a.k.a. rxrep) there's a bit more behind the comment, as it is really an Aesopean code within the forum community. Key words, 'owner driven' and 'B6' stopped me from calling him out.

LOL. I guess if you would have just asked him he would have told you why he used the "fastest owner driven" part in his sig. This is because his car is 2nd fastest on the B6 1/4 mile list, while the fastest B6 on that list wasn't driven by the owner of the car. I will leave it up to you to figure out who was driving the fastest B6.[;)]

[fatty1.8t]

LOL. I guess if you would have just asked him he would have told you why he used the "fastest owner driven" part in his sig. This is because his car is 2nd fastest on the B6 1/4 mile list. You will have to guess who was driving the fastest B6. [;)]

Yeah, I couldn't remember who it was. So I was in the process of rereading the threads I'd read yesterday (omg... like 30) and I gave up; so I posted in the P'burg People to have them help me out. As usual, Lee (rxrep) sat me on his knee and recited to me the history that preceded my time on AZ.

So I didn't bother asking A4 TSCHUSS because it would have been facetious. But my post was already up and then the 'candle' comment got out of hand.

Just to be clear: I never said, or implied, that the CTapp A4 was the fastest. I just was saying that those who say theirs is faster when they're running 12s aren't!

Cool?

Well thats all the B6 guys are running at this time, they are just now getting into the GT30 setups and dealing with their non return fuel system. The 1/4 mile times are split up for the A4's (b5/b6/b7).

Since you were posting because what you read on A4 TSCHUSS sig this post might have made way more sense on the B6 forum. Now if you would have looked at the B5 1/4 mile list then this thread would have turned out completely different. Sorry if I took it as you saying that you thought it was the fastest B5 A4. Just have to understand that I worked my butt off to run not 1 but 2 B5's in the 10's.[:D]

Hey man, I can take nothing from your car(s) and the accomplishments represented therein. Nor would I want to! They speak for themselves, honestly... people get it!

But I posted in the B5 forum because the car in question (CTAPP A4) is a B5 and it's the car that's now in my area and wanted some comments from people with more knowledge about the B5 than myself (ahem... nearly everyone). Just seemed more appropriate to post here in B5 land (and still does).

BTW ygpm about return-less fuel system on B6.

Happen to have a link handy for the B5 1/4 time list? I've seen and read the B6 list a few times, but never did see the one for B5s.

I take it You didnt see my first post, Adam.

Tactic has the right to get pissed but it was a bit more than "calling out" plus, we've been down this road how many times?

He wants you to keep going at him.

Hence, adding fuel to the fire will only hasten the thread deletion.


And Mike, You ignored my post. People do not forget these things, you shouldnt either or what we spoke about last time a similar situation like this came up.

Technically it is not the fastest owner driven since George @ ATP has run 11.8 in his B6 shop car they used to develop the GTRS/71R eliminator than the GT30-71WG. This was done on a 100% full weight 2004 B6 A4 with stock internals, the only mods were the bolt on turbo kit, Mika programming and injectors.

David made that sig about 2 years ago as a freindly jab towards Charlie (AudiskateSnow) because Mike Hood drove his car to a 12.63.

David's car is badass though because he bought his own shit, installed it himself, went to the track on his own, and ran the 12.7 in Florida where it is hot, humid and has lesser conditions that when Charlie went 12.63 and I went 12.853.

CTapps car is badass, they put together a very powerful setup in a virtually untouched car. 10.8 was unprecedented at the time. Of course it was a one hit wonder though.

As far as Mike's 10.69 goes it is more than damn impressive...he was able to back the times up three times in one night, each of them presenting different driving conditions which he and the car overcame.

The true test will be for him to get the car to the track this season (more than 3 times) and put down multiple passes each time.

If is can consitently stay in the low tens...

The really funny part is that if I didn't actually post what I did on my first reply to this thread it would have DIED after the first page with nothing but "repost" replies.

I never said anything about AW being the cause of this thread. I just said that AW sucks so much that you have it needs links to AZ to keep it alive. I mean how much can you guys take of the stupid posts on AW before it gets really old. I am suprised Jason hasn't just deleted the B5 A4 forum on AW seeing that it has become a huge joke.

re: Geroge @ ATP... That's some sincere badass cred right there. Is the Mika tune a localized custom dyno tune or an out of the box reflash?

re: Tapps' one-hit-wonder... Still, impressive all the same, especially considering that the guy who owns it now lives in a small farming community where half the people (total pop. 2,000) have been retired from the farm for twenty years. There's a graveyard on main street and it's one of the biggest attractions (seriously!). I figured such a car might shake things up a bit 'round them there parts.

re: Mike's times... The fact that he has a car (or two!) running 10's period is amazing. Doubly so if he's able to replicate it even more consistently.

On a side note, my cheap-o boost gauge ought to be in today so I'll see what's what in a day or so. And if I can, I'll get that block (115, IIRC) logged too and post up the results.

I started going through this thread cleaning things up but decided that it would better serve as a record of how adults act when they should be working. Don't make me show this mess to your supervisors!

If you guys want to go back and edit your crap out it would be appreciated. If you would rather stand by your crap with pride then so be it. This thread was about Tapp's old ride but was quickly derailed by a few off-topic conversations. Any attempts to counter those resulted in many more. Anyone else want to be a moderator here? I've never wanted out more.

why do fast car threads always turn into mine (mike) is faster? It's ridiculous, all these threads end the same. Why do you always have to bring yourself in and cause an argument, Mike?

[audisnapr]

Read above. None of them were part of sponsorships. I have many Fiber Images parts but NO Fiber Images sticker on the car, nor do I have a Vorsteiner sticker.[confused]

I have shop names on my car because I take the car to drag events and do so people can see them and know what type of products are on the car. The stickers get changed all the time and the car does tend to have no stickers on it from time to time, so it isn't like I "must" have the stickers on it.

Mike - you must be a really nice guy in person... probably a great family man; cause there is no way in hell any of these shops would want to work with you (fast A4 or not) if you acted around them like you do here - your edick must get the best of you.

My guess is you're a 40 y/o who just likes f'n with the younger generation here - like a little boy using a magnifying glass to torture ants.

In any case, why on earth would you continue to deny "sponsorship" (or whatever you want to call it) when you, in fact, post a list of your "sponsors" on your website home page?

bottom line Mike - it seems like every time I come here I see you digging yourself a new hole without an escape plan. I can see these threads make no impact on your life outside of the internet because you do it over and over again. Which again, leads me to believe you are just some bully on a sunny afternoon with a huge magnifying glass (read: edick) scorching whatever you can and laughing your ass off at all of these replies.

You can be a pretty damn helpful person, but I wonder why you waste so much of your time trying to defend yourself when you very well know none of this matters - what matters on these boards are numbers, slips and satisfaction with one's own accomplishments. You seem to go the opposite direction and go out of your way to make sure everyone here knows what you've accomplished when in fact your reputation and/or name precedes you and none of us need to be reminded - we get it. [confused]

Because of quotes like this from noobs.

especially since some guys are claiming they're the fastest in the world with their cars and they don't hold a candle stick to this car.


How does a car that isn't even in the same condition hold a candle stick to cars that can go out today and actually run 10's again.[confused]

Hey man sorry 'bout that. I guess if you know him then you're right.

I said so because one of my best fiends called me the other night and said that the car is going to be worked on by Chris at Das Auto Haus in Red Deer. He said that the guy who now owns the CTapp A4 lives in Rimbey.

And FYI, I live downtown Calgary if you're up for a drive some time.

As it is, does this Dom reside within our community? And is the car still rolling on stock suspension? Works up north, as in Ft. Mac?

Hey man sorry 'bout that. I guess if you know him then you're right.

I said so because one of my best fiends called me the other night and said that the car is going to be worked on by Chris at Das Auto Haus in Red Deer. He said that the guy who now owns the CTapp A4 lives in Rimbey.

David's car is badass though because he bought his own shit, installed it himself, went to the track on his own, and ran the 12.7 in Florida where it is hot, humid and has lesser conditions that when Charlie went 12.63 and I went 12.853.


Nope, David's car is badass because he's FWD and showed quattro doesn't matter when dragging, only the driver does.[drive]

Hopefully Dom chimes in anytime now... I dont know many more details about the car, but it did arrive last week I beleive.
I believe he is up North on the rigs.. dont know the exact area though.

Im right off 17th... You should try heading over to Eurodrivers.ca... its more of a local Euro group, lots of Audi's and VW's.

I dono where to start, This is Dom, I do work up North on the rigs, I live in calgary. I bought the car a few months ago and had some work done, the only thing that I changed was the tranny, its a S4 tranny now and it has snow tires cause I drive the car in the winter to my hotel for work. yes the car is fast but I dont have any really big plans to beat the old time that was set by the car. I like the fact I can start the car and drive it 2000 miles on a road trip and not worry about it.

What else did you have to change to accommodate the S4 tranny?

I know all about eurodrivers. Thing is I prefer AZ and don't want to have to surf six forums to keep up on things. That's why when the dust settled I landed here.

hi
Hello!How are you good sir?

Ye Dylan sold his car out west.I was reading this thread and was saying to myself this is old news.

[audiFUEGO]

Rediculous.

Such hatred and jealousy in your own community.

I left the Supra world and my 10sec car and over $40k behind for that reason and it's even over here now ?

Grow up people.

Wait... you sold your car because you didnt like your supra forums?

[audisportnut]

Sorry to tell you but my car could have passed smog too. Yes he ran 10.8 first, but that still doesn't make his car the "fastest".[:p]


ah man this makes me feel better i was trippin on smogging a 2.0. hay mike you high were your smog numbers were they tolerable or close to not passing or were they very clean ?

[mike-2ptzero]

I said "could have". [:p]

I never had to actually take my car anywhere to get it smogged.

[onemoremile]

The additional displacement doesn't throw the smog numbers out of whack. A nice lean condition at idle and a cat converter and you'll be fine. Be sure to warm the car up first since emissions are much worse with a cold engine.

Exactly. If the car is quattro they just do a 2500 rpm no load smog test and at that point the car should be running at 14:1-15:1 AFR, so you shouldn't have any problems passing if a cat converter is being used. Just make sure that there is no CEL light and you have a stock air box.

[The1amRadio]

my first thought when reading this was "didn't mike run a 10.69?" 10.82 does not make it the fastest A4 in the world. that guy should probably do research before making claims...

Did you even read the thread?
