Default first race neon srt4

Well got into it for the first time snice I got me 98 T/A A4. I was coming home from work the other night around 930. And I see this kid in a black neon srt4 dont know if he had any work done to it but i could hear his blow off valve 2 cars back. I know he seen me cause is was tryin to get in postion so we could run but the traffic was pretty heavy. So i get behind him and he takes off pretty hard and I go after him so trough the traffic i blow past him cause of cars ahead i slow down. Then i see him coming up again real fast so just about when he gets at my rear bumper i hit the gas, so now we are neck and neck and he start in inch on me so like a *** I try to pop it in 3 and i go to 2 by accident and the car starts to jame the rev limter. then he pull about a 1/4 car on me. so i put i back in 3 and i am on him again and i am beging to walk on him a bit. Then when i think i got him out of room. The is was turning off at the next lite i pulled up to the kid blow off valve still going i give him the thumbs up and took off. Just want to share my fist semi race with my new t/a only mods is a cat back and free air mods with a A4 fast little car but i think i would of had him.

Just leave it in drive next time, the computer knows what gear you need to be in and can shift faster than you. Plus I think its bad for a 4l60e to manualy shift it.

Good loss, better luck next time. As stated let the car shift itself next time. You win some you lose some.

Yeah, the most you can do is put it in D without the overdrive. Even then, the computer probably won't kick into OD if you're so much as 3/4 throttle. Nice kill.
