Just think of what would have happened if either one of you lost control .. especially if there was traffic around
Lets see....
Audi A4 1.8t:
170hp/166lb ft tq
3406lbs (6spmt)
0-60 7.9 secs
STI:
300hp/300lb ft tq
3298lbs (6spmt)
0-60 4.6-4.9
So, he weighs less, has almost twice the hp/tq as you and yet you "hung" with him?
From a stop or a roll, the STI would walk all over you. Either you are lying, or he wasnt trying.

Well said Nofriends.......I like the 1.8t......but its nowhere near the speed of an sti. The only think i think is.......it was a wrx and the guy slapped on the sti badge. Other wise, there is no way in
that would be an even race.
that would be an even race. An 18 year old kid going 130mph on the freeway? Good thing I don't live in CA - kids like that weed themselves out pretty quick around here.
I think I'm going to have to raise the
on this claim. If it is true get your spoiled punk *** off the road before you kill somebody.

Maybe he confused it with a 2.5 rs with an sti badge on it. A wrx would still kill him. Our lowly civics could pull on a stock a4 1.8 t. Those things come detuned from germany. This is they chips give em like 50 whp.

NoFriends: not all A4's are AWD/quattro. my friend had a 1.8T that was fwd and something was wrong with his turbo, I think, so whenever we raced, I would always eat him alive in the launch, but after maybe 50mph or so, he would start to pull on me.
and to the retard who "raced" a wrx sti, maybe you were racing him, but he wasn't racing you.

Either way, an A4 would no hang with an STi unless it had some outrageous mods. The 1.8T engine can get up to about 290hp and equal torque with everything APR has to offer... and that's still 10hp less than an STi.

Although I agree and sti would own the 1.8t, The 1.8t would own our civics (stock for stock) My dad has a 1.8t jetta wich is the same engine except the audi is probably tuned better with better suspension. I went against my dad in my civic and he pulled on me huge. Also im almost positve the 1.8t yeilds 180hp.

I belive that you could hang with an STi on the freeway. VW/Audi Quattro engages "AWD mode" under slippage so on the freeway or when cruising it is essentially a front wheel drive car...good for gas mileage and less parasitic loss when compared to full time AWD like Subaru.
