Sooooooooo..... My friend just purchased an Audi A1 1.4TFSI and has challenged me and my Cooper S Clubman to a TLGP (on a private test track of course).... You must understand, everything we have ever stood for comes down to this moment and I MUST WIN!
The tale of the tape:
The turbo Cooper S has 125kw, 240NM (extra 20NM on overboost), weighs 1250kg and is manual.
The supercharged and turboed A1 has 136kw, 250NM, weighs 1100kg and is automatic (7 speed S-Tronic).
All in he has the power, weight and gearing advantage, but I should be able to out launch him.
I will be removing the rear seats tonight in an effort to drop some weight out of the car (he is also 20kgs lighter than me![Bluebiggrin]( "Bluebiggrin")
) and I am adding some octane booster to get the most out of the fire breathing monster 4pot turbo 1.6.
Any other suggestions to get a few more meters on him bearing in mind I only have a few hours to implement!?![Idea]( "Idea")
