Coming back from the track last night in the LS1 i was on a deserted 4 lane highway when i rolled up on a 35th SS Conv. When i creep past him i notice he starts pacing me at 65 mph
I drop it out of OD and i hear him downshift. He kicks it first and i nail it, the A4 takes a second to downshift and he pulls half a car. i see his front end bouncing from him banging gears and he pulls to a solid car lenght lead to 120.
Next run i hit it (again at 65) first and pulled him 3/4 of a car through my 2nd gear. I hit 3rd and he starts creepin back up but is still 1/2 car behind me til 115.
3rd run he hits it first (at 65mph), and he pulls a 1 car lead til 110. We get a light and chat for a sec.
Him...this is all stock 6 spd? Are you an A4?
Me...Yea w/ 2.73s
Him...I could tell because i woudl catch and pull when you car shifted.
Me....Have you run it?
Him...Yea and i spun bad and they were nto giving out time slips today...
We are the first at the light and i hear him tach it up waiting for the light change. I'm thinking the A4 is going to show him how Drag racing is done...lol. Light changes and i spin just a hair. the A4 clicks second and i look back, he is in the right lane and i am in the left. I saw both of his headlights in my rearview by 60!
I let off b/c we were in a 45 mph now. It was a good run. Both cars pretty close form a roll, but from a dead stop the A4 easliy won.
Anyways, thought i would share.
