only 7.6 seconds actually, like the 0.6 makes much difference.
0 - 193 in 7.6 seconds, and he only pays £175 road tax for 12 months.

1550 bhp hehe Fastest ever drag run by a street legal car.

It was my first ever drag meet on Sunday. I loved it but John's Audi was one of the highlights.

You picked a good meet for your first. Friday and Saturday were a lot warmer though and some fantastic times.

Like you say that audi was something special.
Only problem with it is he never get's to see the look on the face of the driver of the lambo/porsche or any other car you care to think of, as he leaves them at the lights smile

Yep, it is a Coupe. To be honest it was either a 100m away at the start or going past so damn fast that it was not easy to be precise as to what it was. I just remember it being A4 size.

The video of the run is at

Yea it's amazing. I'm amazed Street Eliminator isn't more popular. That Audi was previously an 'ur-Quattro' and before that a SAAB 900. This wheelstand footage is unbelievable:
