Lil old me
vs.
Audi S4
Engine 250-hp 2.7-liter dohc 30-valve twin-turbo V6
Transmissions 6-speed manual, Assembled in Neckarsulm, Germany
Mods:
Intake
ABT chip (rated 310hp at 5700 rpm & 370 ft-lbs from 2400-3500 rpm) ALMOST 400 ft-lbs ?! :eek:
no muffler exhaust
18" OZ rims
Adjustable coil-over suspension.
He came with me to get my exhaust done, and on our way back we ended up side by side at a traffic light crosswalk (so there is no light facing the other way for you to time when your side is going to go green).
He starts to grin over at me while he revs...uh oh.... he used to dance all over me when i just had a boost controller and was way out of tune. He's friggin fast. but ive got the Stealth Bomber running pretty good now, and i think, i am just going to give it a run and see if I actually have gotten any faster' ...sort of thinking that this time i might be able to keep up....
line up of cars behind us at the lights.
S4 revs way up high and plays with it:
With 5 valves/cylinder it sounds like an F1 car!
Stealth turbo revs:
deeper and burblier, you can hear the turbos sucking a hole in the atmosphere....
light goes green.
dump the clutch at whatever i was at (2k-4k?). I get some jerking/trembling that was either the clutch chattering or the wheels grabbing and letting go of the road, then it hooks up and Im off! he jumped ahead with a little better launch(maybe my nose is at his back tire) , but before im out of 1st gear, im ahead :eek:! He has a six speed so he has to shift sooner. I hammer it into 2nd and dont think i lost an inch of my lead. Im pulling steadily ahead. he lifts to shift into 3rd and that was when it was obvious the race was decided. I was pulling strongly and once he shifted it gave me nearly a car between us. Into third and that is my killer gear. Its obvious hes not going to catch me so we both let up. Im more than halfway through third (150km?)
We get back to his house.
"Good race"
"Ya....thats pretty fast"
"Thanks"
and we havent breathed a word of it since. :)
