Audi TT-S....does he stand a chance?

I've got a buddy with a modded TT-S coupe who thinks he can beat me. I'm not sure what all his mods are, but im sure its not more than tune, headers, exhaust.

My car is stock & on 20s.

Anyone race one before?

E55
It's a 2.0 L 4-cylinder that stock for stock is slower than a W210 AMG. For 70k you think you would get more?

Unless he has seriously poured a TON of money into that thing, you will waste him.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
It weighs 3200lbs with 265hp which pulls in a stock 4.9 to 60 run and mid 13s. With AWD and mod'd it will be an interesting race. I would race him from a rolling 30 or so.

If you race him to 100MPH you should walk him.
From 0-60 not sure at all because of AWD will launch faster

No contest.... you should be able to take him easily as soon as you gain traction.
