What power is required to get an Audi S4 into the 11's on a 1/4 mile?

500 bhp

Is it just down to making the car lighter now.

That's going to help but traction must also be getting harder

Am I wrong, but couldn't you do that on Mitsubishi Evos???

Yes, but weight of an evo is less.

My question is with 500bhp and 1550kg 4wd car. is it possible?

Interesting question, I'd love to know the answer for sure too.

I did 12.48 in my car at Santa Pod with 1/3 tank of BP102 , no weight reduction at all. I think I have around 420 bhp and there were a few bits I could have done better (video is on youtube, just search for RS246) I think I could have done it in 12.2 but 12.3 for sure. So my guess is 460 bhp but I'm no scientist :)
