well slooooooow sorry to dissapoint u but, i won 2 of the 3 from a roll at bout 35, lol. the first one was the one that i loss. he did the 2 honks n i had my window down talking to him n then he did the third and took off so i got off to a bad start but my 3 gear pull kills his n i made it closer then it should have been cuz he ponly beat me by a 1/2 car length. then in the secound race we rolled n he did the 3 honks n we both took off at the same time. he pulled out in front (damn quatro) but then my top end in my secound gear pulled me even with him. then i had 1/4 car length n then my 3rd gear came out n end up beating him by 1/2 or 3/4 a car lenth. then we lined up for the last n the closes t he got to beating me was we we dead even when my car just shifted to 2nd. then i started to pull away a bit, n won by 3/4 a car length. i never got to take out my spare tire but ill make shure i remember that 4 the future. in the end i was pretty happy wit the win. i do have a questuon tho, we raced when it was about 52 out n i tought that the coolder air gives him more of advantage because he is cooling his turbo and getting cool air to his intake while im just getting cold air to my intake, is this true or na?

No disappointment here, bro. You scared me taking so long to report.
Maybe you were just teasing us and building some suspense.
I'm not into the street racing thing, but from one ES brutha to anutha - Congrats!

Whoaaa there Juggernaut. It was 2win - 2lose for both of us, very even "races". The first "race" was even, i honked 3x and he heard the last honk, we both got on the gas at the same time also. The first race, i ended up winning by a little, i say... 1/4-1/2 car length. The second race, another equal 3 honks, we both floored it at the same time (35mph) while i pulled on him pretty good in the beg, yet he pulled on me at about 60mph and ended up gaining at good 1/2-3/4 car length on me by the end (75mph). The third race was about the same outcome as the second, just not as much of a lead by the ES in the end. The last race, if we should call it that, was from a stop/dig (red light), all i had to say was "see you later FWD and hello quattro". Very even races though.

ill be the first to say that B5/B6 A4s are slow...stock. No doubt, just theres a lot more room to play the engine and goodies compared to an ES. All i need is a cheap and that ups my car almost 50hp and 85tq (at the engine)...and thats considered a minor, almost mandatory mod for A4 drivers now a days. Think of that $500 invested in my car vs. an ES now... Just watch out for the S4s, specially from 00-02. They look cute, almost identical to B5 A4s, but those things can handle any exotic or tuner car when modified correctly. The chip alone on those engines push it to 310hp/366tq while bumping the 0-60mph to around 4.6-4.8...:thumbup. BTW there are many 400+awhp daily driven S4s

That would be odd, havent had a CEL....ever. Its called keeping care of your car and ABS module got replaced at 80k service so im good with that, thanks for the concern.
