Car Forum / Audi Cars / March 2004Hell freezes over! Cad beats Audi at Sebring.
Although I thought the Cadillac T car at the Chicago Auto Show looked very cool, I had no idea the thing would be finishing 1-2 at Sebring in its *first race*! Not that old pal Randy Pobst wouldn't have been able to beat them if his power steering *hadn't* failed, but ... 26th wasn't dead last, was it? Looks like some strange days ahead this season, with BMW, Audi, et al., trying to catch up with - Cadillac? -- C.R. Krieger (Been there; haven't seen *that*) I thought about you when I saw Pobst go off the track, since you had said that you knew him. I think the whole thing must be just a bad dream. Please let me wake up! Don't forget that Audi had to give up some boost on the RS6 this year... I wonder if Cadillac engineered that? Then there's still Sebring 12 Hours... Audi R8's one, two, three....I feel better now!

Please let me wake up! sh.t happens. It's racing. Randy won't let that bother him much. ;^) > Don't forget that Audi had to give up some boost on the RS6 this year... Don't be an apologist. > I wonder if Cadillac engineered that? Forget the conspiracy theories. If IMSA was influenced, it took more than one upstart team. For a championship car, it's lots more likely *everybody* (not mentioning any names, but their initials might be 'B.M.W.') complained. Again, that's racing. ;^) > Then there's still Sebring 12 Hours... Audi R8's one, two, three....I feel > better now! I knew you would. L8R. -- C.R.

Krieger >(Been there; haven't seen *that*) Takes more than one race to make a legend. GM is putting I5's in some of their trucks now.....who is playing catch-up? Steve Sears 1987 Audi 5kTQ - I-5 turbo...not 20v though.... 1980 Audi 5k - N/A I-5...woo, high tech..... 1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes - I-3 2-strokes.....not Yamaha, Bombardier, etc......

Krieger ( ) catch-up? OK, I don't follow racing, but I've read some of the hoopla about the "Cadillac" (Opel Vectra) CTS-V with 5.7 liters and 400 HP-- and I say big deal. Audi or BMW could get well over 400 HP out of engines closer to 4 liters...and with nearly 6, they could get.... Just think what those boys at GM could do once they discover that more than 2 valves can be put in a cylinder...... |
