Default Raced an A6 4.2 V8 Quattro on the freeway

Some guy from Ontario in a nice new A6 4.2 was tailgating me coming off the golden gate, so I decided to show him how us a$$hole Californians can drive The thing was, neither of us could pull on each other, I raced him down the curves past Waldo and got ahead of him on skill/handling. However, when we got on the flat again we ran 80-120 and neither of us pulled away at all. We must have had the exact same power:weight ratio it was so even. Fun on the autobahn

Audi A6 4.2 Quattro:
DOHC all-aluminum 90-degree V8 with 5 valves per cylinder, variable intake valve timing and intake manifold
Displacement: 4.2 liters (255 cu. in.)
Bore: 3.32 in.
Stroke: 3.66 in.
Compression ratio: 11.0:1
Horsepower (SAE net): 300 @ 6200 rpm
Torque: 295 lb/ft @ 3000-4000 rpm
0-60 mph in seconds: 6.7
Top track speed: 130 mphı
Curb weight (lbs.): 4024

That was fun. But don't do that to the S4. Hehehe...If you have laughing gas, you could have smoked him. But then again, you might end up with some engine probs later...but it's great to know the A6 4.2 can't pull over our ride...heheh

Actually it probably could pull over your ride... and my ride... and most other rides in here. MadMax has a few mods on his car that help out his top end power.
