Re: whats a better performing engine 1.8t or 2.7t (01silverGTI)
IT all depends on how you look at it.
GTI about 3000lbs with driver and full interior
S4 pushing 4000lbs
GTI depending on year, with race chip and turbo back exhaust, 13.8-14.2 @ 100 or so( just an average)
S4 with teh same 12.8 is the best so far I think @113
Now if you want to talk sick cars, billys cars, 12.2 I think at 113, Our sick S4 12.5 @ 113, shifting at about 5K becuase we ran out of fuel up top. plus this car is all stock interior, billy was pretty much gutted.
dollar for dollar a GTI will be faster, the motor alone in this S4 has about 30K into it. But you are talking about two different classes of cars here. This S4 runs that on street tires on pump gas. He goes right from work to the track, To run that fast in a fwd 1.8T you are in some serious need of traction. Aniother thing to look at is, this S4 even with Ko4s off an RS4 spools up faster then stock simply do to how the car was designed, turbos were relocated, individual intakes for each turbo, stock ICs converted to air/liquid so there is very little pressure drop. for pics of the motor check out the gallery on the AWE web site, its pretty insane, too much red tubing, but insane
