tls vs. audi

whats going up people...

just a few things that i was curious about...
i raced a a4 1.8t the other day and welll lets just say he didnt do so well... he had me at the start cause of his low end torque but then it was over for him....

theres this guy in my parking lot who has a a4 3.0... and i know he is eyeballing me.... we are both stock ..... is it worth the race... do i stand a chance or not??? personally i pictre the outcome as this... he will take me off of the line then i will fly by....... true or false?

The 3.0 still only has about 220hp I think, you should be able to take him.

Agreed. No matter if it is an auto or a manual, AWD or FWD, you should still able to take him.

so i finally raced him..... it was fun and he was keeping up UNTIL vtech kicked in..... after that i pulled away pretty quickly and i dont think he saw my break lights after that.....

he has the 3.0 fwd...... so we both kinda spun at the start but at the end i took it....
