1991 5.0 vs. 2000 Audi S4

[Morgan Ball]

Tonight I raced for the first time in two years because my car has been in storage. She picked up where she left off. My buddy just bought a used 2000 Audi S4 with twin turbo V6. Gorgeous yellow with black 19's. I asked him how she ran and he said, "Ya wanna race." I said, "I'll be back in five minutes." ( My car was at home) We headed out to the stop light where the road strectches straight both ways and no cars in sight. We decided to race off the drop. I had my car in first at about 20mph and we hit it. We were nose to nose through first and I shifted into second and leaped a hair just intime to hear his turbo wind off and he caught back up with me as he plunged into second. I edged about four feet ahead of him and I hit Third and my car launched another two feet or so and we called it quits at about 100mph and he pulled in behind me as the turning lane he was racing in merged into one. I pulled over and we agreed it was very close and that I may not have edged him if we had raced off the line. After returning to his house he took me for a ride and the pull of the all wheel drive turbo felt very impressive to me, even that I couldn't beleive I had just edged him. It was a great race and I was very proud of american made power.
