great kill story from the audi forum !!!

Mercedes Benz C43 kicked my ***!!!
I went up against this crazy car... we pulled up to a stop light down "airport" road up in Everett, WA, no cars in site, pane field on the left, boeing manufacturing plant all around us, huge airplane hangers in the back ground (great setting!). And get this, we were lined up at the only stop light within miles of us and the only cars on that strip was my S4 and his C43. Too perfect???

So I'm holding the rpms at about 3k and he's blippin the throttle of his 4.3l V8... the light turns green and from then on everything was a blurr. Tires chirp from both cars and I can hear his V8 mixed in with the turbo whine of the S4. I take him pretty bad all the way up to redline in 1st gear about 1 car length ahead and I'm thinking, "hell yea, I got this guy!!" Then I chirp it into 2nd and now he's closed the gap to about 1/2 car length, uh oh this car is pretty damn fast. It's getting kinda scary fast now, but I go to 3rd and I go to 3rd like there's no tomorrow and my life depends on it! By this time he's caught up and he's walking right by me... we hit about 100mph and I think I was just about to shift to 4th but he braked hard after 100mph and almost 2 car lengths ahead of me... I saw the damn C43 and //AMG badge in the rear. Well, that was a good 1/4mile run, the temp was very good for the S4, about 70deg on a nice night with plenty of cool night air.

What a good run, too bad I lost. I want a piece of that guy again after I chip my S4.
