Alright all, I'm sorry for the delay. We switched things up a bit from our original plan and it added some time but the build is complete, for now haha.

I picked the car up about a week ago and I've had ample opportunity to drive and make smoke and make smoke it does. The 305 Eagle F1 G2 tires do very little for the torque we're making. As it sits, we are at 585 RWHP and 657 RWTQ (see mods in signature). I am beyond pleased with the car. The torque is absolutely insane. You can get sideways at ANY speed if you so desire. It's definitely been a bit of an adjustment for me. I basically had to relearn how to drive this car. A welcome problem of course.

I've already had to fill my Methanol once so believe me, I'm not babying the car. The driveability is excellent! Hasn't skipped a beat so far and the quick shits from the A8 make the car pull HARD all the way through your run. The A8 was the right choice for my plans and I'm very happy I didn't let popular opinion sway me from getting it. I will be shooting some videos of cold and warm starts as well as strapping the go pro on her for some good audio clips and such.

HUGE THANK YOU TO JDP MOTORSPORTS!! Seeing as how I work for one of the largest automotive dealer groups in the nation, I've driven some of the fastest cars that the modern day world has to offer. This car will destroy them ALL in stock form once I put some good rubber on the back. I can't wait to break some hearts!

Also, to anyone thinking about the A8, DO IT!!! Manual mode can be nearly mastered with enough time. It's just a matter of learning the intricacies. I could NOT be happier with the car! You owe it to yourselves to call JDP before spending your hard earned money anywhere else.

Here's to beastly power
