Hi

Had a look and found this which sounds about right from what I remember:

Audi RS4 Specifications:

Make and Model: Audi RS4
Year: 2000
Engine Type: 2.7 Liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine
Torque: 324lb-ft@2500rpm
Acceleration 0-60: 4.9 s
Suspension: Independent suspension/Double wishbone
Wheel Base: 102.641 inches
List Price: $0
Horsepower: 380bhp@6500rpm
Top Speed: 155 mph
Brakes: Ventilated disc
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Weight: 3500 lbs



It's a touch quicker, but that's prob down to the weight difference. Try and get him (or her) to over cook it off the line and while it's struggling for traction you'll leave it for dust with your 4WD (just don't be shy with the revs :wink: ). Once the TVR gets traction I think you might have a problem though as those things are built for one purpose........ Speed!

It also depends on the course. If it's just a sprint then you're gona have your work cut out. But if it's a slalom then I think you'll be ok.

I wonder what happened to dcjevo, I was down to race him in the 3rd tranche but he appears to have changed his mind. I was looking forward to taking on a B7. He's a 246 forum member I believe. Are you out there?
