Default Got beat by a 2002 T/A

I was on my way home from work and I see a T/A on the bridge. I get next to him a give him the thumbs up. He rev's. I honked and he was game.

I put it in 3rd at 60 and brake boost and he down shifted to his gear. I honk and I get the hit or the brake boost did its job. I pulled about 2 cars and then he started coming back slow. By 110 he had about a car on me.

We could not run again. I wanted to run from a 40(my cars sweet spot) but there were some cars ahead.
We both gave the thumbs up and went are different ways.

T/A mods
exhaust for sure.
and it was a a4

sounds like he wasn't expecting you to pull like you did, which is why you got out two cars on him. 60mph is a sweet spot for a A4.

Boost gauge is a must-have in the mod line, huh? So is the stright pipe. It's one vowel better than a straight pipe.

I'd lvoe to start modding my Acadia Denali (quick spool turbo would be just right) but the wife would scream bloody murder as it's only a few months old and "hers".
