What do you drive?

Cheers mate

What do you drive??

I've not been on the track yet, but I'm thinking of giving it a go this summer :)

I drive a 2003 Audi A4 quattro sport 3.0 V6 Petrol with some small performance mods, it dyno`s at 238 bhp.

I posted these pics earlier in the thread :

I recon you would pull away from set off, but i would make up for that on mid range / top end acceleration and in the corners.

Would be a pretty even match for my car i recon, would be a fun race.

Nice car mate :)

It would be very very close I think

My friend had a Vectra GSI 3.0 V6 and I beat him BUT it was close none the less. That was when my car was standard.

Now I'm in the 230's too I have Decat, K&N GenII and my next purchase will be getting my baby chipped, which will add about another 25 to it. I'll stop there as it will start to get too expensive lol.

When I left my old job to come to Uni I was going to sell my RS and get a 2.0Diesel A4 convertible. I love Audis :)

It would be very fun :)

Thanks, im glad u liek it, shes my pride n joy.

Vectra GSI 3.0 V6 isnt a very good car imo, sure ts got a decent amount of power, but they tend to handle like a schoolbus and have no technology to put the power onto the tarmac, even the newer 3.2 are only 208bhp (i have a friend with one of these), with less power, less handling / grip and more weight than you the guy in the vectra did well to keep up.

Its cool that the RS's are a turbo so u have that bit of extra leway for tuning. The remap will really make a differance for you, ive got hi flow cats (cant decat it due to dual lambda sensors increasing fueling to much with no cat) , and a custom ecu remap, that only gives me an extra 22 bhp over my stock 216 bhp and it wasnt cheap, im looking for an induction kit worthy of putting on my car, but im on a k&n pannel filter for now under the advice of Awesome GTI, as there arent any kits for my car adn the "generic" ones are all rubbish.

Next plan for my car is a miltek cat-back exaughst, itle cost a lot and only give me like 6-10 more hp, but a nicer sound, eventualy i want the engine on 6 individual throttle bodies, that is where I will get a big HP gain, but its going to be a custom job and very expensive, if it exceeds a stupid amount then i may just start saving for a V8 S4 (old school twin turbo S4`s are probably too high maintenance for me).

a new school audi a4 cab would be fantastic, lol. or even an old audi 80 cab, ive been lookin at ppl in em in the recent nice weather and thinking maybe i shouldve got a cab.

mainly because the supercharged RRS was just out of my budget....I'm more than happy with what i go though.

Sold mine a while ago, wasn't too happy after all. Driving an Audi A8 W12 now (leased via the company) and it's much better and more pleasure. My personal, own bought car is also on the way (just ordered today). It's fun. :p

    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
