Or if you have the cash to play around, get a LS3 6.2 litre V8, they can be upgraded to 580hp naturally aspired, with something like 560lbft torque. It weighs 7kg less than Audi's 4.2 V8 (195kg), and if you convert the car to rear wheel drive you should be able to shuffle the LS3 back towards the firewall to reduce the engine overhang over the front wheels.
Using one of the LS3 compatible manual boxes such as the T56 which weighs 56kg, you save another 20kg compared to the 01E, and probably another 20kg by losing the front driveshafts. Using some of RallyQuattros tips on weight reduction I estimate that would take this conversion to just under 1600kg without driver. That might bring the weight distribution of a D2 back close to neutral, but you lose 4wd traction. I bet it would be a hugely fun car though. Last edited by Goran; 6th February 2015 at 08:14 PM. |

Last year 1 week before we got snow here in Sweden = It was cold asphalt I drove on.
I tested 0-100km/h with my RS8, Here's a movie on it. http://youtu.be/tZbQu1dm8VQ Maybe I test again now in summer when it is hot asphalt and with summer tyres on.

If you do want a track car, like Audi's and 4WD, can I throw my recommendation in for a first Gen Audi TT?
Can be bought cheap, you know the brand and parts are easy to come by, fast when stripped with a few choice mods, and aside from straight acceleration are faster on circuit then a new RS6. Don't believe me? check my video from last month - and this is only running 250bhp at the moment and they can be tuned to 300bhp before rods and 400+ with Rods as the rest of the engine is already forged: https://youtu.be/hNwc37c60co?t=2m25s Bang for your buck, they are so much fun on track and more room for hairdryers when driving any other time (I jest...) |

LPG is gas so is that lighter?

Unfortunately, I forgot to insert the memory card in the beginning, so I only saved the last runs on the memory card, but the fastest time is seen in the movie.
http://youtu.be/tZbQu1dm8VQ Here are the last runs on papier and the one in black became really good at the first gear but then unfortunately a very slow shift to the second gear.

WOOOW!
3.4s to 100kph on the best run, and that's in winter! That's sports car territory! If you get a chance for a test in summer, please post it up I bet it will be even quicker. Now I really want to test mine, I have a new exhaust I think I have knocked the weight down to around 1720kg full tank without me in the car. The stock exhaust weighed around 40kg!

On that 0-100 test the total weight on car with fuel and me in it was around 1620kg
And with 610 engine hp and 860Nm But it will be at better tune for E85 and more hp in a couple of months.
