[320ise]

some say they may be for sissis lol! but have herd these are fast! so on a track both as standard cars what would happen, i have owned a few sports tech 1 and 2 (i would say may 1st tech 1 felf the fastest!) and am looking for somthing different and may have a look at one of these audi's!

[320ise]

sorry audi on a k/l/m plate e30 on a late h plate lol

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Which quattro is that? The Mk1 or Mk2?

[320ise]

mk2 this model http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/272151.htm

[320ise]

they seem cheep and allot of motor for the£

[320ise]

was this a mistake post lol

[fuzzy]

ive never owned one but ive been in a mates and it didnt strike me as particularly fast. probably slightly faster than a 325 but not much in it imo.

[jaffro]

i had a mk1 and it was very quick indeed i regret selling it still to this day.

[e30_Turbo]

My mates 2.8 qauttro isn't anywhere near fast, too heavy and loaded with toys! Comfy tho.

e30 everytime!

that Audi (in your link) is a heavy coupe, and they only stuck the quattro system in to cash-in on the success of the actual Quattro, which is one of these

a friend had an a4 2.6 it was pretty slow and my old 325i was much quicker.

[pnd]

2.6 is slow 2.8 better but heavy and NOTHING like as much fun to drive as the BMW better built though.

my missus used to have the a4 2.8 quattro and that was much quicker than a 325.now shes got a golf

E30 325i versus Focke Wulff FW190.

About as relevant as a comparison to a much newer 4wd Audi.

its the progression of the discussion. im not that clued up on audis, arent all the bigger engines 4wd? and oldsroydsr4 has said the 2.6 was much slower than the bmw.

[320ise]

cant see it been much slower! gonna do a serch and see what the official times are, looking at sport money these days you could get an s2! witch would wipe the floor with a sport! ill be back with stats!

[78dude]

The Audi V6 2.6 is a very lazy engine compeer to other engines, but for grip and traction, Quattro is the best for sure! But bad comparison, the Audi Coupe Mk2 is a much more modern car than the E30!

[320ise]

what about the 2.8 is that lazy? does taht mean its a better car

[fuzzy]

id take lazy as being a low reving barge more suited to motorway cruising. so not a better car.

[78dude]

The 2.8 is a much better engine indeed!

[fuzzy]

my missus's a4 2.8 quattro was a quick car. quicker than i expected anyway.

[milez]

The 2.6 is not audis finest work, much better is n/a 2.3 20v (170 ish bhp) or s2 220-230 stock. I had a 2.8 quattro, but ripped out the engine and stuck a 320bhp RS2 motor in instead , because the v6 was a bit lazy (slow revving) The 2.3 20v would murder a stock 325.

[320ise]

is that the same engine thats engine in the coupe?

[milez]

Fitted to mk2 coupe ( G plate onwards)

[320ise]

on a quattro coupe what % of the power goes to the rear? can they drift well or not at all?

[320ise]

the 2.3e? not quattro though? does that really effevt the handling allot on these cars or is quattro a myth!

[milez]

The 2.3e was 5cyl 10v n/a , don't think they made a quattro version , but deffo made a 20v quattro . They will drift ( or 4 wheel slide - not true ass out stylee )

[BMracing]

Not a great comparison as the Audi coupe with that engine is sluggish to say the least, especially in quattro form. Not that great a handling car either. I've only driven a FWD, they have 150 bhp (pretty poor for a 2.6) and it feels like it too, not even that torquey. Pointless having 4wd with this engine.
The only decent coupes IMO were the early 2.2 20v nasp 5 pots, and the S2 as mentioned, they have huge potential for tuning. The 5 cylinder engines are superb, and sound great, the 2.8 v6 isn't bad i guess.
The quattro models had torsen diffs and a potential 50:50 split.
I assure you it won't be easy to drift any coupe quattro other than an s2, probably a fairly heavily modified one at that!
Back to the original question, the e30 sport would own it!
