modded C32 vs S4 wagon

I'll make this a nice long narrative for those that like stories lol.....

So last night before I met up with Hooley at the bar, I decided to go to a local hookah lounge as I'm a big fan of smoking shisha. Picked up two of my buddies on the way, adding about 400lbs of weight to my car.

Started driving there and came up on a black Audi S4 Wagon. Not sure if it was a B6 or B7, but definitely had a V8 with the quad exhaust tips. Looked sick, I'm not gonna lie. It had what looked like 18' or 19' black rims with a nice polished lip and roof rack for snowboards/skis.

As we moved on from the light, I rolled down the windows and started peering over at the guy through his dark tinted windows. I could barely see in. He looked, but did nothing. I gave the car some gas, and then a little more, and then got on it JUST enough for the s/c whine to kick it (and its loud with my setup)......THAT got the guy going for sure. He promptly gunned it, switched lanes, and gunned it forward. Exhaust sounded really good, not sure if it was stock exhaust or not, but I liked the sound. Either way, I was like WTF? Is this guy running from me? So I catch up and we are coming up to a red light. Unfortunately, we don't get there in time to catch the red, and he guns it again........and i got pissed

so I catch up again and we have some space, I'm going about 40 mph and my buddies start giving the guy the "roll" sign with their hands. so then the guy down shifts it to second, and i *think* guns it. I wasnt sure so i got on it about half-way as I ask my buddy in the front (the car was on my right) if he is gunning it. He says, yah......so then i gunned it at the bottom of third.

I was unprepared for the race as i would usually manually downshift with the speedshift. The car for some reason didn't downshift into the top of second like it should have. Oh well. No need.

The guy had 1/2 car - car jump on me and then i slowly started to reel him in. Once I hit boost, I had about a car or so on him and was pulling really hard. Shut it down at about 110 i think? maybe 100-105? basically i just went through my entire third gear starting at the very bottom of the gear.

Guy must have been surprised and saddened as he quickly slowed down after this, moved over 2 lanes, and got onto the highway. Oh well....

Easy kill with extra weight in my car while it was already heat soaked from the 100 degree temps lol. I really need to split my coolant system to stop the heat soak in these temps.

For those wondering, I put down 350whp and 359wtq on a dyno dynamics on 91 octane before installing headers. I haven't head my car dyno'd or retuned since the header install.

And of course, the race took place in Mexico.

haha....i've pulled on a lightly modded B5 S4. He had a turboback and tune, and this was when i had my code3 pulley. Pulled really hard on him.

But yah, I'm not gonna mess with a stage3 or such B5 S4. I'm well aware of what those are capable of doing lol. I used to want one. I love the Audi seats and the red glow of the display. And of course, the AWD. I'll leave those fast B5s for Hooley haha.
