Anyways a while back Eric (E1000) and I went to the strip. My best run was a 15.03 @ 93.3 mph but of course that was because of ESP being stupid along with not getting traction off the start. Car and Driver says it should run a 14.6 @96 mph. Plus I had more than 1/2 a tank of gas.
i am not doubting you beat your boy, i am doubting his driving skill

does he have a boost guage? is he deaf?

the reason i say both, is cause he is bi-turbo and should of smoked you like a joint...... he should of spooled his turbo's and with quattro his launch would of gotten him an easy car car 1/2 jump on you, then maybe once you caught up, if you could of, then you guys would of been neck and neck


it is like me running my buddy with an identical a4... he is a 00 so that means from the factory i get 20 more hp....woopty do right? i smoked him cause of driver skill and turbo spool

Look up the stats for the audi A2.7T its not that fast of a car(Your keep talking about the A4 which is almost 1k lbs less which makes a heck of a difference). It has less HP and weighs the same as the E350. It is also rated the same 0-60 time as the E350. We didnt go from a dig we went from a roll and I would floor it and walk him a bit then let off and he would get back even going WOT then I would got WOT then walk him again. I might see him on friday night and I will take my BMW and run him cuse he probably wont want to race the benz again cuse he came talking **** about how he was going to smoke it but after the races he just LOL and was like BS that thing does not have a V6 in it.

From a dig he will be even worse off(weight of 4wd along with turbo lag.. He did his run on the same track a week earlier and was doing low 16's in the 1/4 mile.. I was doing almost 15 flat run after run with more than half a tank of gas an ESP along with traction problems off the line. I think you are thinking of a chiped A6 2.7t that would certainly run mid 14's to possible 13's since it basically turns up the boost from factory 6-8psi to 18psi and effectively makes the stock cars BHP the WHP big difference in a car that is putting 260 to the wheels then putting 200 to the wheels, putting 260 to the wheels is M3 territory.

are you joking here? so since he has turbo's and awd he should win the race? you forget that the kings of drag are still the rwd's. and weight plays a huge factor along w/drivetrain loss on those 2.7tt's. no offense but.. you drive a 1.8t, that car is slow as *****- unless you spend over 8k on it. and spooling a turbo that is that small doesnt do much for u since it will run out of gas right after the launch. not to mention his car is an auto so "spoolin" from a stop and letting go of the brake will most likely kill his drivetrain very very quickly.

I like kraut. It tastes good on a rueben sandwich.

Most of your pointless posts are glorifying your a4 and questioning everyone else’s ride. Have you tried an a4 forum? Rumor has it, they actually like that car over there on those forums.
