Hey Phil, Like Louie said, you have it exactly right, except you can ignore the final drive ratio since we are comparing the gears (final drive is a constant)... I did a little web research and found

Hi Tom, I did poke around with numbers last night. My conclusion is that to get maximum acceleration from my '87 S4 5-speed, I should upshift at redline. This won't be true of all vehicles, rather

Okay folks, here's the latest shark drag roster: Louie "The Professor" Ott Steve "Slottman" Ott Terry "The Enforcer" Redinger Tom "Midlman" Middleton Rob "Dolby" Fossett Curt "Bitwiz" Nichols Adam

Hi Ralph, Sounds very interesting, I haven't looked into "other" coils yet but if this set up is indeed more efficient and cheaper, it may be worth considering. I don't think it would affect our 928s

Hello all, In a unilateral executive decision, I'm going to be presenting a second graphic for the back of the shark drag shirt. I wasn't quite happy with my first rendering. The new graphic will have

Hey Phil, The torque curves are in the owners manual. I can't recall if the ratios are there, but I know they are in the repair manuals. If you would like, I could scan them and shoot them over to

Hey Tom, I believe Lloyd has one mounted in his shark already. -Adam

The recent coil discussions are interesting, I was just recently considering coils and wondering if anyone had gone to an E coil? Seems like a nice cheap easy upgrade type of item that one of the big

Well you asked.... Everyone needs 2 sharks!!! Jim before

Hi Phil, I would like to see the numbers if you do crunch them... Need to see where my auto shifts too, and the corresponding drops in RPM. Time to go out for a loaf of bread.....;-). I think

Hi Tom, Ed R. seems like a nice guy, but his posts perpetuate a rather common misconception, namely that acceleration is maximized by shifting to keep the engine close to its torque peak. In fact, you

Hi Phil, dumping the rear 100 MPH. over-rev in before? > Just a thought, the S4 should be making max torque (ft/lbs is what really counts right!?) at around 3500 rpm. Depending on how close 3rd and

Hey, All this talk of the bracket drag has me thinking... Does anyone have a G-Tech so we can get some comparative data? The G-Tech is one of those gadgets I would love to get sometime and would like

Would that be considered a hybrid? Lemme get Jim Viglietta's opinion before I make this decision. Jim, you out there? -Oscar

Okay, so maybe buy the S4 and transfer the powerplant into your '81! or not :). Maybe you could arrange a test drive for June 25th, and then bring the S4 out to the shark drags. Oh Yeah! -Adam

Adam, Hummm... lemme see, an 81 928 with 167HP.....hmmmm, towards an 89 S4, hmmmmm.... you're right it's a tough one! :-) -Oscar 81 auto with 167HP at the NW dyno day (with tail still between my legs)

Oscar! No way! Tell me your not going to let that chiffon white beauty go for "just" another black S4? -Adam ----------

Anybody have any tips for a 5-spd without limited-slip? Simply dumping the clutch high in the power band will really smoke the passenger-side rear tire, but probably won't move the car very fast....
