Nice! That GT500 jumped out on that first run. Was the Audi in the wrong gear?

Good video!

That was badass. Good close run. The R8s are nasty from a dig it seems.

Not the wrong gear but the 55 roll(first run) put the Gt500 in the meat of his power band and not the Audi.

The audi definitely has the advantage from a dig and probably would have come out ahead. The gt500 is on street tires and can not hook at all from a 1st gear roll. When the gt500 gets a DR there will probably be a rematch from a dig/low roll.

The audi is bone stock. Gt500 has upper pulley, x pipe and a tune.

yet if it was an ls1 car pulling from a roll all would be good ... I give gt500 props for even trying a dig on street radials... Audi is sick looking and was gaining ground at 170 both nice rides.....I like both roll an digs but nice part about roll racing is it takes some of the driver error and traction out of the equation and really shows which car is more powerful...but i sure do respect and personally know its no easy task to make high horsepower rwd stick car get traction on the street....

it's what separates the men from the boys.. that roll racing crap was started by those who can't drive and caught on because we know that 99.9% of the "racers" around can't drive worth ****. it's so ridiculously lame unless we're talking about low 9 second cars. if it doesn't hook? then you did it wrong, go back and try again.

Bet it screams in 2nd @ 40mph with that gear. I can't remember exactly(alzheimers sucks) but I think mine was in the 3000-3500 range @ 40

Roll racing is for the racers who don't drive beaters, and prefer not to snap axles, and parts launching their purdy cars. I prefer biscuits with my gravy thank you.
