FD's are not the fastest cars on the road, they are fast, but they are beatable. Didnt he say that he ran 488 on the dyno @ 22 psi, what was he running during the race? Everyone needs to stop being so defensive.

I'm not about to read the whole thread front to back, but let me just add something if not pointed out already. If that toureg was a v10 turbo diesel and those guys knew they would beat you, I'm willing to bet they were spraying the diesel with propane (think thats the one they use on diesels). If thats the case....that thing could have been pushing damn near 900 rwtq depending on how much other crap they have done to it. Just a thought though.

I believe the story, he posted a pic after all guys. Looked like the new m3 e46 rather than the e36. Did they tell you it was a v10 or was it a guess?
People are doubting this car can be fast, nowadays, anything is possible with money. These kids obviously have money. Somebody who asks you to race for 1000 has a pretty thick wallet. An engine is an engine. German engines nowadays are top notch. You add or increase boost, add fuel, a chip or controller to tune, a fmic like he said he saw, and even an suv can haul ***.
Anyways good death and try to get a rematch or find somebody faster to run them. I wonder what cops say about those signs on their cars. I bet if you go on german sites, you will find some info on some shop/people that mod cayennes and touaregs.

"Alles für Deutschland" was the slogan of the **** SA (Sturm Abteilung, or Storm Troopers), and it was etched into the blade of all their daggers. No surprise that it is being resurrected by a bunch of punk skinheads.

Max Hp so far: 675 hp @ 4750 rpm
Max Torque: 1300 nm @ 2000-3000 rpm
this was done with a slightly modified VW V10TDI
the mods were (I believe)
1. Stock turbo chargers switched out for Garrett twin turbos
2. Pistons machined to reduce compression ratio
3. dry sump oil system
4. engine computer management by Caterpillar Corporation

There you have it tje dyno graph shows it peaks right below 900. Which must mean it was a gasoline swap... But to drop weight would be easy if the gutted the frame and replaced it with a light weight roll cage then have a full carbon fiber body. My porche friend was telling me about this guy that has a full carbon fiber porche. Essentially he would be running it like a high class gt car which is just roll cage and carbon fiber. There are places that do custom carbon fiber.
EVerybody needs to calm down there is a logical explanation for this "big foot." like argument. The picture is conclusive proof. You see the "alles... duetchland" and the german flag on the side of the car. Not all skin heads are poor double wide living degenerates. Somebody with that much money to mod a touareq might be rich enough for the carbon fiber obession. I believe your story but then again I am very guillable.

If it was a really high horsepower diesel there would be no way of mistaking it for a gasoline engine the sounds of a high horse diesel is crazy! and there is no doubt in my mind that it would produce alot of thick black smoke. I think the story is reasonable though and i beleive it.

I'm thinking the Toureg had a Porsche Cayenne turbo drivetrain swap plus some serious mods. I know it takes a lot of power to move that tank, but the lesson here is know what you're racing. The Cayenne turbo is 450 hp stock for Christ's sake!
