Default 00 m6 z28 vs 00 a4 z28

m6: Bone stock except dealership slp package (not worth a damn, horrible bending, restricts massive air flow)
a4: Flowmaster catback (i know this exhaust is restrictive, but its better then mine)

As some of you may already know, im quite new to the fbody scene. I just got my car (00 z28 m6) and have raced 2 neons srt4's from a roll only. My friend kept running his mouth to get me to race his 00 z28 a4, and i gave in. We lined up, our horrible flagger just says go when im still rolling backwards a little , and we take off. Luckily a car comming down the road interupted us. Try2: We line up, he hooked up great and i spun a little (although i was proud for this being my first launch in my car). Through 1st and 2nd i got even with him (my 1st and 2nd seem to be stronger ) and when we hit third he got about a fender on me.

Im ok with loosing to him, they are quick cars, but what can i do to gain that fender? I was thinking of an air lid and possibly a cat back or maf. Where is the best place to find these parts?

Your driving is a little weak, an auto should not pull you from second going into third if you guys are stock. You must be shifting too slow or something. Great car though!

like i said before, this is the first time i have raced it from a complete stop. And i noticed this morning that my clutch needs one hell of an adjustment...ill adjust it and give him another run.

is my clutch adjustable is my next question, i did a real quick search on it and cant find much about a stock clutch. I might need a new clutch then, first is getting harder and harder to get into!

replace your hydraulics, master and slave, get a spec3, long tubes/cutout and lauch at 1700 while rolling the clutch, GAME OVER
