Default An audi TT wants some...

Heres the deal. At the college I attend a kid in my class is harassing me to race his dads audi TT. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks since the idea has been proposed by him. The audi is 100% STOCK , lemans edition (225 hp) . Obviously i'm faster, but he seems to think it has a chance. The race is planned for this weekend, i'll definatly video tape it and post it up. All his friends are swinging off the audi tt's nuts and talkin clueless ****.

My car isn't fast by any means, but i'm pretty sure i'll be able to drag this car.

Heres the catch: We are racing for $500, and he wants to go from a DIG

How sure are you that it is stock? It would be pretty foolish of him to do so if it is. He probably wants to go from a dig cuz of AWD.

Gosh, that kid sounds foolish. Make sure to mark the point of the 1/4 mile. When it comes to money races fools in AWD cars will stop at the 1/8th mile and declare it a win.

You should hand him his *** pretty easily, I think they pull high 13's max, with him driving probly a low-15
I guess he thinks TT means twin turbo?

I'm auto.

Boosteagle - I really doubt they are high 13 sec cars, probably high 14 with a good driver.

Yeah , we are going to race saturday night. I'll be sure to post the vid of the anhiliation.

Take his money and buy some new mods. So basically he would be paying to make your car even faster.

I would say buy a sticky tire, but I dont think you'll need it.
And the last thing you want to do is blow the rear off the launch.

Should be an easy win. The 4wd system on them isn't all that could. Those things do not launch like an Evo or STi.

Even with 4wd they are still mid'ish 6 seconds 0-60mph.

Modded could be a different story, I got *** whooped by one. Not sure what it had done but I guess it was a mean turbo V6 setup. Anyhow having seen vids of Stock Terminators against stock A4 Ls1's all I can say is this particular TT pulled me at about double the pace.
