He does have DSG, but you have everything else!

Short answer? No

Yes, and while quick, Darwin is running an in tune 3.2L with a Vitesse stg5 turbo.. through his stock AOR trans... IIRC the S4 might be a decent match for a stock 951S, but Darwins car isnt stock... and they are going from a rolling start!

When you want to sell that Audi Darwin, I'll give you $1000.00.

I am sorry, but I don't understand why is there such a commotion?, with Darwin's 3L beast, that's a walk in the park, I 'll be amaze if we were talking about a R8GT. I doubt the other guy has the pink for the Audi most likely is financed

+1, apparently the S4 owner believes Darwins car to be stock...

This forum cracks me up! I'll be sure to let you guys know how it turns out, but I'm pretty positive that I can predict the outcome. He does have the DSG, but I think by the time he shifts, I'll be ahead by a bit. I am also not surprised at the curb weight...I'd say I have a good chance at winning, yes?

Nope, he was deployed with me in Iraq when I was buying all the mods. He would glance over and look at the photos every once in a while.

I think he just doesn't want to admit his $55k new car would be beat by my 25 year old "poor mans Porsche."

No commotion really. He really isn't a car guy, and while a really nice guy, he's kind of obsessed with his new car and thinks that he can't be beat

I think that you should let him win. We all know that you would beat his car any day of the week.
Let him win and enjoy his car a bit longer. LOL

Na!
