A few weeks ago I was out for a drive when I spotted a car in the oncoming lane that was clearly something special. It was dark and I am not really a car expert (yet) and was not sure what it was. They on the other hand knew exactly what I was in (my new RS7) because about 15 seconds later they were behind me. At the next light he signaled left and right away I knew where he was headed and wanted me to follow. Down that way there is a perfect place to race side by side. You have 2 lanes divided from the other lane, it is flat and straight and there is no place for a cop to hide. Sure enough he drove directly there and he stopped right at the top of the straightaway. We lined up and let it rip. It was too close to call up to about 120 where I took my foot off the gas and he went blasting past me.
Flash forward to today. I stopped by my dealer to shoot the $hit and show off my new HREs. A few minutes into the conversation he asks me if I happened to race a GTR a few weeks back. Turns out that he is good friends with the guy I raced and he has not stopped talking about my RS7 since then. I live out in the middle of western MA so seeing a RS7 really is unheard of.
As for the race though, I don't think I will be doing that again. I enjoy destroying morons at red lights when they challenge me but that never goes more than 10 over the limit. Honestly it was way too much fun, the kind of fun that would be totally addicting.

After that I am done with the mods.

Very surprised that you ( in "THE RS7" ) are so calm. In my tortoise A6, after the tune, I am in a whoop your ass mode if people wanna be a-holes or of course when people want to do u mutual sprint. I'd just like to add an advise- the red light FU's are very dangerous looking at the number of people who jump red lights. I was almost hit by an SUV at a red light and ever since I wait a couple of seconds at green before I start rolling. Just my little advise !

I only pull that when I can see that I am in the clear. I lived near Springfield for a while so I got used to looking both ways when the light turns green, a lot of morons out that way.

Did you happen to buy the Daytona Gray RS7 that was in the Fathers & Sons showroom not too long ago?

Nope, mine is the panther black crystal RS7 from Flynn Audi.
