    Default IT Audi Quattro ....? Advantage or Disadvantage ?

    Just cause I am bored at work...it's Friday....and I like Audi's .

    I pose this question for discussion....


    What would be a good Audi Quattro IT car ?

    A 4000 in ITB ?

    A Coupe Quattro in ITA ?

    Perhaps an A4 ....ITS ?

    And cause it's German ..thoughts about a BMW 325X...?

    Would these cars be to heavy to compete ? Has anyone attempted this yet ?

    cheers !

    I do not believe these cars make enough torque to make AWD necessary; certainly not enough to make it worth carrying the extra mass.

    Both FWD and AWD Eagle Talon cars ran in IMSA Firehawk, and the AWD cars typically stayed on the sidelines unless there was significant probability of rain. They were just too heavy. And these were turbocharged cars...

    It would be fun to try, but you'll spend your days praying for rain.

    That's preety cool ! A subby ? Is it a Brat ??

    I wonder if an A4 with the 2.8 would work ?

    I kinda thought that the 4 cyl AWD cars are to low on HP to be eworth it....Or like what Greg said ...pray for rain..

    The ITA 20v Coupe Quattro is interesting with 172hp and it is well geared in 2nd/3rd to get out of the turns... It would be my choice for an ITA car if parts were more accessible... Just sold 2 of them to start my RX8 build
