C280(202) Vs B6 A4 1.8T

I was driving home at 11 pm on a cold empty weekend, and stopped at a redlight which turns into a 3-lane freeway entry.

A 2002-05 B6 A4 1.8T S-line was on my left side. The light turned green, and I took off rather speedily as I usually do when entering the freeway. The Audi accelerated hard and passed me, the 20-something passenger stuck his head out of the window, pointed at me and laughed, while the car was turning!

As soon as the road is straight (it was empty as well), I gunned it. I reeled him in and waved as I passed him at 65 MPH. I went all the way to 85 MPH and had a good 3-carlength on the tool, before letting off.

The tool did a ricer flyby and, and the passenger once again stuck his head out, pointed, and laughed I decided it wasn't worth it, and just cruised.

I wasn't expecting my lowly 202 could beat the much newer A4. I also have a passenger at that time (the GF that was sleeping)

The passenger in the A4 sounds like a tool.

Not surprised you're able to take him, especially if he was stock. A chipped one or bigger injectors would give you a good run

+2 B6 1.8t's are slow, way heavier than B5 1.8t, slower too.
