watch it, i was at the drag strip 2 years ago and one of those audis ran a 12:30 1/4 . i had to do a double take, ordinary looking quiet car rips off a 12 sec et. i didnt go down and look at it to see what he had done to it.
it didnt have any traction problem at all.

AWD's very rarely have traction problems.

However, A4's don't run 12's stock.

That's with the v6, which puts out ~265hp. The 4pot + t pushes around 210hp, but with more torque than the 6. (8 more ft-lbs or so).

The average 0-60 is around 6.3 seconds.

So, the audi doing 12's and running "stock", he may say Stock... except the upgraded turbo, intercooler, exhaust, and con rods...
