So I was on my way home the other day, and I ended up at a light right next to a black B6/B7 RS4. So I glanced over at the driver and he looked like a [relatively] young guy, but never acknowledged me... I don't think he noticed what just pulled up next to him [:p] So I turned off the ESP just in case, and waited for the green. I didn't wanna look like an idiot when the light changed, so I didn't launch hard or anything, just took off a little quicker than normal (trying to stay ~3/4 a car ahead in case he decided to floor it). So he took off about the same, but towards the top of 1st I heard him get on it, so I immediately let her go. I had an AMAZING 1st-2nd shift and we pull all the way through 2nd and shut down right after shifting to 3rd... By that time he only had a 1/2 car on me [:D] I could definitely tell he would've continued pulling on me, but not as hard as I thought. I mean, he wasn't "running away" by any means. I'm sure by a ~100mph or so he would've had a car or so on me, but whatever.

The guy looked over afterwards and gave me the thumbs up and a honk. I'm sure he wasn't expecting a little B5 to put up such a fight, which is cool as hell! I continue to love the sleeper effect of this car [evilsmile]

Nice run for just chipped!

You'd have heard his jaw hit the floor if you were stage 3 though....[>_<]

[up] nice, I bet if you were 2+ it would've been real good.

^yeah, that's why I'm itching for a set of DP's already...

edit: and my exhaust would sound great then, but the RS4 exhaust is pure Spank-Tra-Vision!

I bet you, once you get your DP, that you wont think that about the rs4 but about your own car....

I was neck and neck with one when I was stage 2, so this doesn't surprise me the least.

deb, I think your car used to be in the exceptional few though... didn't you run like low, low 13's w/ just a chip and a cat-back?

my point exactly; prolly a perfect match-up for an RS4...

edit: based on my last track visit (8.7 @80mph in the 1/8th mile) plus a few street "comparables", I'm prolly in the mid 13's somewheres... If I could ever find this damn misfire issue I'm sure that's worth a few extra ponnies.

Here is a little clip of me when I was Stage 3- versus an RS4 with a Revo flash and exhaust.
