yeah most are like 2500lb +- 200lb

I saw one earlier this year, a Cerbera 4.5 V8 (420bhp model), TOTALLY stock even down to the radio.

It had Eagle F1's on the rear, and no power shifting. Was running 12.4's @ 119mph+

But what's more amazing is the 60' times where awful. There was NO track prep that day and was like launching on wet grass.

Reckon some DR's, and better track prep that thing would have been in the high 11's.

a small debate from a previous thread. It got a little out of hand, and rather confusing.

The quotes are an amalgamation from several posts. But they're all genuine.

Thought it was kinda funny myself

Great. Wasn't sure if it was something you had posted under another name. I seem to remember it now. Funny queer, yes. Funny ha ha, maybe. Funny ignorant, definitely.

because of the weight...you would get killed. and i don't really know much about the autos since I own a 6speed, but 40 or 50mph isn't really the a4s best starting point...to low in 2nd to get a jump and to hihg to drop down into first...I think.

35-40mph, isn't too bad actually. I have the stock 2.73 rear, when it kicks down at WOT it'll either spin the wheels if the ASR is OFF else the Low Trac warning light will complain if the ASR is on.
