Fun Kill

Yesterday going home from work there was a 330ci & 540i going at it so I decided to join just for fun. We were going in and out of traffic and a nice straight road opened up so I gave them a lil head start then pulled up to them and floored it. I was prolly 20 cars ahead then I slowed down and they both gave me thumbs up. My fav thing to do though is when I see a couple of cars racing then I come out of nowhere and blow their doors off

Couple of months ago I was in a rush and was driving from Long Island up to Westchester and raced like 12 cars on the way up even though I did not wanna race I was just in a rush, beat them all though

20 cars ahead? ? i don't think so....i am sure you walked them handily, but 20 carlengths? Thats like 3 plus buslengths......which I highly doubt

Alright maybe 18 cars, it looked pretty far on my rear view mirror. I plan on installing cams in my car, this way in the future I can post some clips.
Btw, you got a c32?

EvilllEmpirE, how do you keep a clutch in that beast of yours? Has Stage III+ been reliable for you?

the clutch has held up with the power extremely well.......almost 20k miles now since going plain ol' Stage 3 (i'm not "+"...since that designates cams, headwork, p&p intake and/or exhaust Manis, etc.) I don't really launch my car except when it's needed at lights...like AWD modded STIs/EVOs, or something that is more HP than me (like 500+ HP cars) etc. So handling the power has been good....the clutch holds strong. You can run up to 500ish HP on the RS4 clutch with no problems as long as you are not "abusive" which I'm not......I only run peeps off rolls usually (like 2nd gear and up). I'm saving my launches for the dragstrip.....which i'm hoping for a good time soon (thinking 11's) but we'll see
