Thanks, it's not even tuned yet. waiting for the heads/cam swap.
It ain't easy running someone down from 2 cars and a kick in an 1/8th.

so it's the same as usual........find a stock car, beat it with your modified car, and then brag about it. i do give ya major credit though for spotting him that much.

don't take anything i say personally. it's just the way i am. i'm a cynical almost old bastard. i just tend to say(or type) what i think when i think it. also, anything i type here, i would not hesitate to say to people in the same room as myself.

Hell man, no need to explain. didn't take it personal at all. The guy has a ton of money for sure. Cool guy tho. Won $100 off the race. I wouldn't have even tried against an RS3... nastyyyyy
Isn't the stage 2 a suspension package? With the option for better tires also?

stage 2 can opt in a couple of big brake packages, 20" wheels, etc.

the suspension is just roush shocks and struts and sway bars.

it's amazing to me that someone would spend that much extra money just to say they've got a roush.......when it won't perform any better than a gt.

the stage 3's are pretty nasty, but i think over priced still. for the price they're getting for them, i'd be right back at a boss302ls or a gt500, and probably run circles around the roush.

and yea.....in my mind, i did have to explain......i'm still a noob here, and you guys don't know me that well......

Good kill...Agree Roushes are over rated and over priced. My neighbor has a 2012 Roush 5XR he thought was the **** always revving till we met on the road a few weeks ago. Then he seen me at the parts store stopped and wondered what had done.

Default good kill

Good kill OP....don't pay attention to the haters. Run what you brung, thats the rule. Besides that the TA isnt heavily modded, Full exhaust and a stall re the biggest mods, I doubt that fast is adding tons of power on a non h/c a4. A4s dont get the credit deserved for whooping a lil @ss. This is the same 5.0 that everyone is blowing their load over right??? Good kill man, keep smashing'em. Add some gears and throw those heads/cam in .....then they can complain about mods. and you gotta get that ride tuned asap!!
