wrx or audi a4

hey everyone
now i kno both of these cars aren't hondas... but neither of them belong to me.
in a race, lets just make it a 1/4 mi race as a point of reference, which do you
think would win? i kno this is kinda a noob question, but a guy at school has
the 2002 audi a4 1.8t and has been giving my friend crap about his 2003
subaru impreza wrx (factory turboed). so i was wonderin which is the "better"
car.

It would help if you included all the info. Is the Audi equipped with Quattro? Is it a 5-speed?

man, i've driven both cars (i'm a valet) and of course when new cars first come out, we like to "test drive" them. the audi 1.8 auto is hella slow compared to a suburu "turbofied" (at least on the launch). yeah but i'd have to say the wrx would smoke that audi, now if it were a 5-speed 3.5L (i think) A4, that would be a hell of a race!

Against a 1.8T with auto and no Quattro... definately the WRX. Now if the Audi wasn't a four-banger, had 5-spd, and Quattro... I'd say Audi. Coz even if the Audi would be a 6, its the top A4 against the top Impreza, thats fair. And even if I'm wrong, the Audi is soooooooooo much nicer. I'd take it whether its slower or not anyday.

Forget the WRX and A4/S4, wait for the EVO.

Id got with the wrx in the 1/4 but the audi would smoke it in the long run. I used to transport cars (lease return) and the audi a4's suspension was awesome for the higway especially the quattro's.

As Joe said, only the S4 would be able to beat it.

umm.. WRX would take ANY A4, dont even compare the 1.8t one. A4s carry too much luxury fat to be fast.
