This has been driving me NUTS

Cant help you on whether or not you'll beat him since i dont know much about audi's, but man whats wrong with a solid rear axle? thats what all fast drag cars are, and they own- leave all wheel drive for the rally cars...if you say that you have him owned in everything besides that, then i think you should be fine spanking his weinerschnitzel in your duster... but ill tell ya this- even if he does beat you, you bought, built, and drove your car yourself (from what i have see on here) on a budget, whereas he had to go buy some overpriced european gimmick that probably cost twice as much as your car to beat you...if you had the money into your car that he had in buying that car, you'd own without a doubt
