DD A8L - eff reliability.

Burn X5 - because not a soccer mom.

DD BMW since it’s the most practical anyway.
Burn Audi since it’s most likely going to do that anyway.
Which means, on the track, I have to use the FoRS.

DD the X5, since I could use it as a tow vehicle.
Track the FoRS, and I mean fully strip/cage/track that biotch
Burn the Audi, only because I had to burn one of them.
I’d have dailied it, but using the X5 as a tow vehicle was more practical and means I could go full race car on the FoRS. If I could also own a tow vehicle, then I’d daily the Audi and burned the BMW.

Track RS
Burn X5 trash
DD A8L until it fails (so soon!), then sell to Tavarish. Now DD RS as well, but with a season’s worth of R6s and a spare set of wheels for trackbr0 days.

The A8 is one classy looking vehicle, so this is actually pretty simple for me.
Daily the A8 (because apparently I have a mechanic on speed dial, and a bottomless wallet).
Track the FoRS, as it seems like it’s pretty much a track car anyway.
Flambe the X5.

You see, I think like you, the best car to track is the one that shouldn’t be in a track in the first place.
![]() 02/02/2016 at 10:52 |

Valid answer, and you could tow with the x5
![]() 02/02/2016 at 10:53 |

Can’t the S8 tow?

Boring, but I’d do it the logical way

Of course DD A8, Track RS, burn X5. Then acquire another X5 and burn that one too.

Mostly because I’m partial to wagons. If I absulotely had to have an SUV, I’d go for a VW Touareg R Line. Without going on and on too much, they simply appeal to me for an SUV. Additionally, the sort of person that drives an X5 in my area has sort of created a stigma against it for me. All in all, I just don’t particularly like the X5.
Now I don’t have any quantifiable information nor personally experience to back my opinion (this is afterall the internet; we see a lot of this) and with that said, I could be partial to change my mind given the opportunity to drive one. It has happened before and I’ve even made a purchase for a car that I previously considered a waste of time, that is until I got to know it.
So until I get the chance to drive a X5; BURN THEM ALL!!! :D

I feel you, I hate pick up trucks for the same reason. Never driven one, every single one driven in Sao Paulo is a moron.
Burn all pick-up trucks.

DD the Focus, track the Focus, burn the BMW, and keep the Audi to drive in the winter, and give to my future kid for their first car, provided it’s still running.
![]() 02/02/2016 at 12:03 |

granted, that probably won’t happen, because that Audi probably won’t even come close to surviving 30 hard winters here in the northeast...

DD RS
Burn X5
Sell Audi to buy RS race tires
![]() 02/02/2016 at 12:15 |

I mean, yeah it can. The X5 is going to have a much higher tow capacity though.
The A8's capacity is around 5,000lbs and the X5's is 6,000lbs. An extra 1,000lbs is a fair bit of extra towing capability.
![]() 02/02/2016 at 12:17 |
|
But do you need that extra 1,000lbs to tow the RS? I’m genuinely asking, I’ve never towed anything.

DD A8
Track RS

![]() 02/02/2016 at 12:21 |

To tow just the car, no. The FoRS weighs about 3,200lbs, and it’d weight a decent bit less if it was turned into a stripped down race car.
However, you also have to factor in the weight of the trailer (avg open trailer is around 1,000-1,500 lbs), parts (wheels, tires, tools, etc), and other such items.
1,000lbs difference could allow you to carry more spare parts or items for the weekend at the track, or possibly even opt for an enclosed trailer over an open one.

If it was the X5M would it make a difference?

I see, so the X5 would indeed be the best bet. I’m still impressed with the 5,000lbs rating though.
![]() 02/02/2016 at 12:25 |

Yeah, it’s surprising what some cars are capable of.
Anything really can tow, even if the manufacturer doesn’t recommend it. My buddy just built a trailer for his BRZ to carry wheels/tires and tools to autox and some track days. I’d like to put one together for the same thing, or maybe even to tow a kart.
![]() 02/02/2016 at 12:35 |

Same.
And DD the Ford when the Audi breaks down.

DD Ford to the Track and burn the tires drifting. Next question.

No. The only X5 that’s any good to me has a diesel.
