LMAO, I agree...

I respect all the drag races lovers, but I never understood them: I think you can have more fun with a 60 hp Mini on a twisty road than in a 1000 hp car, impossible to steer or drive

I can understand the thrill of a sub 10 second quarter mile, but it's not my stuff I guess

That said, I still admire that monster installed in the front end of that A4

The reason I like drag racing is because I like old american cars(mostly old Chevys). I agree that it is pretty boring in itself, but old american cars are heavy and not very aerodynamic, so making them handle well takes money, setting it up for the drags is pretty simple and its fun too. Dont get me wrong I love turning and road racing and rallying, etc. My goal is to have a dragster, road-race car, luxury, off-road, motorcycle, something Italian(hopefully ) you get the idea, just about one of everything.

Plus with drag racing you can have insane amounts of power cause your only going in a straight line for a few seconds. Just my opinion.

Oh and that Audi is insane! I love Audis, I really want the new S4 and the RS6

What about the dust? Btw are they trying to go with a 4X4 look on it, it seems a bit high off the ground?

KTR is actually pretty cool- they've been good to the local AUDI modding scene here in MA, and even though this car is a bit out of sorts, i think that it has good potential to open up different paths for audi tuners to use. But yeah, that turbo is just too huge!

I wonder how far you can drive before the thing over heats or runs out of gas?
