my supercharged soarer sc400 will absolutly smoke that peice of

a new evo or even fairly new one will cost the same or a little less then a base 2.0TFSI A4…..certinly not 10,000 less. your pricing is “flawed”
you logic is ” …
you logic is “flawed”. Volkswagen/Audi wouldnt have tuned the 2.0TSFI the way it is now if it were N/A…of course it will make “only 132hp” without a turbo. if tuned to be N/A it would be more like the narrow angle VR6, higher compression ratio,more revs, etc etc and make alot more hp, granted the engine’s character would be quite different. so saying this engine would only have 132hp really doesnt mean .
Fine.. lets compare …
Fine.. lets compare an Audi A8 of the same year.. 310hp. No comparison.
it was top of the …
it was top of the line 14 years ago. Your logic is flawed, comparing a new car to an old car. By your logic, I could start criticising my neighbor’s 1968 lamborghini miura because its a supercar that’s got a V12 and makes 345 BHP yet its slower than my 98 SC400 and probably slower than a new Audi A4 2.0T.
I know two …
I know two different class cars are being compared.. the Audi is a family sedan.. thats it. And it’s an a4.. the lowest of the lows audi has to offer. Vs a top of the line sporty lexus.
You are missing the …
You are missing the point. Who CARES if its ‘force inducted’.. thas how the factory designed it to be ran. It came from the FACTORY like that. Quit using that ricer argument. And if you knew anything about audi’s, they dont run 5psi (actually, most cars that I know of that are boosted from the factory aren’t), and the turbo on that audi is the size of your fist. Quit using “but if” crap. It is what it is.
This is a 94′ vs an …
This is a 94′ vs an 07′. If you want to be fair about it, that SC should be running with the new 380 HP Lexus 4.6L V8.
Sorry buddy, I agree the Audi A4 is a very nice car, but your entire arguement is flawed. You are simply comparing two different class cars from two completely different class eras. I could buy a Lancer Evo for $10,000 less than an A4 and absolutely destroy it in a drag race. Does that mean the Audi A4 sucks? Of course not. They are just completely different designed cars.
This A4 is forced …
This A4 is forced inducted. Anyone who knows anything about FI knows the tremendous power it can produce and advantage it has over naturally aspired engines. For every pound of atmospheric pressure you increase, an engine will put out roughly 6.8% more power. If the A4 is running just 5 psi boost (the level which most factory turbos run), that’s a 34% increase in power. Naturally aspired, this Audi would be making just 132 HP, not 200 HP.
wow.. so the …
wow.. so the baseline audi 4 door has a smaller more efficient inline four, is faster, and weighs less than a 2door v8 “sport coupe”? i love Audi
Umm…I also …
Umm…I also noticed that no one has mentioned that the A4 is approx. 600 pounds lighter….. Something to think about.
I totally agree. …
I totally agree. Automatics suck the life out of a car; some cars more than others.
rebadged toyota. …
rebadged toyota. and yes, if the lexus had a manual gearbox it would be quicker
um ya Audi gets …
um ya Audi gets much better reports and r eviews tah lexus.. lexus is a rebadged nissan.
But you must be talking about the 310hp 4.2 v8 Audi had in it’s A8 back in the day? Still no comparison.
Besides, with 50hp difference it should’t MATTER if the car w/ 50hp has an auto or not.
there is no way to …
there is no way to prove its chipped. thats a bullshit argument.
isn’t that funny a 4.0 v8 only has 50hp more than a 2.0 inline 4 cyl?
yeah, exactly, …
yeah, exactly, FACTORY IN HP. the a4 doesnt have factory HP, its chipped ! and 4x the factory hp? when did you drop out of math… grade in 2? the audi has somewhere in the 200 ballpark range stock, and the sc has 250 hp. yeah 4 times the amount of hp right?
yeah umm too bad …
yeah umm too bad that the lexus is a luxury car…. not saying that the a4 isnt, but just to a different level. a more fair race would be a 94 audi v8 vs the 94 sc. lets not forget the sc is an auto which is a big disadvantage

I once beat a 6.8L V10 Ford Econoline with my 1.5L Yaris racing from a stop light
I sure don’t change …
I sure don’t change my own oil; I couldnt buy 5 quarts of oil for 13$, let alone buy oil, filter, fluids, chassis lube and NOT get my hands dirty.
But anyways you think a 2.0t or 1.8t is a race engine? That is a refined motor, used for Economy. Thats it.
Funny it still smoked a 4.0 v8.
correction: “only …
correction: “only came in automatic”
WTF is wrong with …
WTF is wrong with you? this is the last attempt I’m going to make to try and clarify the concept of tuning to you, since you probably dont even change your own oil.
Displacement has today has very little to do power. Its about how your engine was tuned from the factory. The 1UZFE was designed to be refined and smooth, not muscular or neck-snapping. Thats why it only came in manual. While the 1UZ has the potential, most SC tuners opt for the SC300, since its got the legendary 2JZ Supra engine.
Actually, it’s a …
Actually, it’s a dime a dozen to buy parts and tuning for Audi’s if you know where your going and what your doing. An Audi could (depending on which motor) handle PLENTY of power w/ stock internals, and with a tiny replacement of pistons you can handle gaping ammounts of power easy. Besides; v8 vs i4.. big difference buddy.
It’s “uber” easy to tune FI
Ok you dont seem to …
Ok you dont seem to understand that point that a ONE POINT EIGHT FOUR CYLINDER just WALKED a FOUR LITER V8. Point blank thats what happened. And who are you to say it wasn’t running at “factory efficiency”. But I dont care about “valve efficiency” or any of that .. fact is, the 4.0 has like 4x the displacement and factory hp.
