Default WS6 vs Cobalt SS/TC Rematch *Video*

My car: 2000 A4 WS6
Mods: Lid, Longtubes, cutout, diablo tune, catback, LS6 intake,free mods, stock 3.23's

His car: 2009 Cobalt SS/Turbo
Mods: FMIC,CAI,Exhaust,Tune

Video: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/2...009_634279.htm

1st Race: 50-130
I got the jump, he pulled back in my lead and stayed even with me till 130 where i would start to pull away
2nd Race: 50-130
started pulling on him from the go, kept about a full car lead to 130
3rd Race: 40 Roll (my dead spot)
Dead even with him starting to pull
4th Race: 40 Roll again my dead spot
He missed a gear
5th Race: 30 Roll (my powerband)
I spun pretty bad, caught traction but he was gaining on me quick
6th Race: 30 Roll (my powerband)
Didnt spin, hooked and pulled a car on him, he wasnt coming back that time lol
7th Race: 45-120
i pull on him, he comes back but cant break my pull fully because the faster we go the more i start to get him topend

Can't view the vidz at work, but it sounds like some really good runs. Glad GM ditched the supercharger and went turbo on the new cobalts.
