Default EZRIDN Vs. '02 GT

Coming home from church the other night in the A4 LS1 I spy a spoilerless Silver '02 GT lowered with bullitt rims and tint. Car looked sweet to say the least. I see him revin at cars so i knew he would be game. I drive beside and throw a cut out sounding rev He took the bait and followed me.

we turn onto a 4 lane road with NO traffic and i manually hold the A4 in 1st. He gets along side at 25 tachin pretty hard. We nail it at the same time and the LS1 leaps ahead to about 3/4 of a car. i slide the A4 in D and let it auto shift the rest of the race. Hit 2nd and i pull to about 1.5 cars. I heard him nail 2nd hard. i stay in it til about 90 and i can see both headlights in the reaview with him in the left lane, me in the right. I slow down and give a thumbs up, and we slow again to about 35, and i pull the A4 manually back into 1st (2.73s). We kick it (maybe I got a jump) and the LS1 starts the pull immediately again. He shut down with me a good couple of cars ahead.

We talk and i told him how killer and clean it looks w/o the spoiler. He said thanks and that the LS1 sounded good. he reported that he was just out lookin for some runs. Gotta love that! He reported that he had pullies, timing adjuster, and some exhuast, which got him a spinning 13.9. Not bad. We complimented each other and headed our seperate ways. Anyways a real cool run that got me goin for a while.

Maybe. But the LS1 has DRs on it and is even tougher from a stop

Get those LTs on and go pic on some LS1s!

Default Good kill

Sounds like a good run or two that came out as expected. But I wouldn't expect that DR's would help much from a stand still with an LS1 with 273's unless you have a higher stall (2800-3000 stall) converter. Feel free to correct me where I'm wrong.

W/O DRs the A4 LS1 of mine will blow the tires off 3/4 of the way through 1st. With the Nitto's it scrubs them a few times then goes
