My 97 TALON TSI AWD
With very little modifications these 4 cylinder motors can easily beat many V8s in the 1/4 mile.
New launch pic from the 04 DSM Shootout
Here are some recent pictures of the car.
Some pictures from the 2005 DSM Shootout at Norwalk Raceway.
Here is a picture of the engine bay, and a front shot of the Front Mount Intercooler, and also a shot of the car at 19#s of boost with 93 octane fuel. With the help of Alcohol Injection I have increased the horsepower drastically at this boost level and higher boost. The last is another picture of the engine.

Here are a couple of photos of my car at drag strips. The car has run a best of 12.04 and with a little more mods, I hope to have an 11 sec daily driver. With Alcohol Injection I will be able to run full boost on 93 octane. One disadvantage to AWD is breaking the tranny, due to the strain from hard launches. It has a new stock tranny, but a replacement race tranny will go in when and if this one breaks. New Shep Racing tranny went in after I made the 2600lb clutch look like shredded wheat. The last pictures are from the DSM Shootout at Norwalk Ohio, July 20th 2003.
Picture from modified.com of my car at the DSM Shootout 2004. my car is the far lane the one in front, lol.
Also a few shots of the interior, nothing rice just a few performance mods. The first two without my pocketlogger, the last with. Boost and A/F gauges an S-AFC, turbo timer, my new logger mount, and my alcohol controller.
