And 1 I finally got my 1st kill, 
, ok i was goin to advance auto to get an application, im only 16 so im not a loser lol, but i pull up to a light n im sitting there for a second and this neon srt-4 pulls up next to me, i give him a rev to see if he wants to go. The light turns green n i give him the jump to see if he'd bite and i think he did so i got into it, but passed him really quick so i let off cause i didnt think he wanted to race. But just as im shuttin down i hear a turbo blow off followed by a nasty grind into second, and he flys up to me, well i realize he was gonna do one of those fly bys n i got into it, when i floored it his front tire was at the front of my car. It had really good response cause i had it down in first cause i like shiftin it,(A4), i threw it into second and started pullin hard past him and waved Bye in the process, i got to about 110 n locked em up so i didnt miss the parking lot entrance.
I was happy to kill my 1st ricer
, i thought he had me cause we were close until i shifted. Not to bad for a 98 z28 w/ catback, k&n airfilter, n hypertech programmer.

16... Not a looser, but acting like one? Why are you calling him a ricer? You were the one to initiate a race and going 110 on a 40mph street probably... blah...

DO NOT SHIFT YOUR A4 YOURSELF...That is a perfect way to lose all that money you're saving for your mods + alot more to repair your transmission when you destroy it. Autos are autos for a reason, they shift for you. NEVER touch Low 1 unless you are doing a very rare burnout.

Nice Kill, I just hope like someone else mentioned you weren't going that fast on a 40mph road and or in town. I'd also ditch that Hypertech if I were you and get some Real Tuning
I also agree w/ wvutransam. Just leave her in OD or D and let the trans do the shifting. I only use manual 1st on my car for burnouts (as it's really bad on the trans if it shifts into 3rd gear while burning the tires) and on occasion because of a tuning issue (that BH is addressing as I speak) I have for my high stall TC (as it will quickly shift into 2nd to avoid a TPS overvolt). Then again my trans isn't stock.

Some of these guys are telling you to be careful and not wreck that fine automobile. You're 16, young and are prone to stupidity like most of us were at 16 (Man, I'm old). It will be that cocky attitude that lets you wrap the car around a tree and **** us of because you destroyed a great car. Just be cool.
