Default Just got spanked by a 2011 s4

Just got the car 3 weeks ago so havent really got to launch it much so idk. All the car has as of now is a corsa and a volant. He had me by like 3 cars by 45mph granted I was fishtailing like a motherfkr. After I got in second he stopped pulling. The guy said that his s4 is chipped. Ahhhh should never have raced an awd from a dig

Yep, just remember 97% of all Audi's are all wheel drive, stock is only 333hp but with AWD from a dig, good luck.

From what I remember, new S4's actual WHP is much higher than it should be from 330 crank HP. And after a tune, WHP was similar to V1's.

The guy said that it should be around 380hp with the chip. I was surprised to find out they actually weigh the same as the v. I figured them to be much lighter than our phat bitch. Long story short im not launching this fkn thing anymore...

lol, funny you said that cause I did and to my luck we were entering the city( So no run from a roll 4 me...The thing that irritates me kinda is that we all make excuses from a dig blah blah blah. (Most times you will prob bump into cars at a light) what are you gonna say Im on my period and my vagina is soar so we have to race from a roll??? Point is in all practicality unless we are just doing highway pulls our phat *** is gonna continue getting spanked by all these german imports which simply have much better traction and can harness much more hp from a much smaller block fractionally.

Fishtailing = No traction. It took me a while how to get my launch better with the car. Get the thing to hook (and address the wheel hop) and you'll be much happier.

at least it was a gorgeous car you lost to. I have a friend that picked up a new one recently and the interior just blows me away. =)

You will do just fine if you work on your launch! Its a fine line between slipping the clutch and having the clutch suck to the floor!

A run can be awesome or suck depending on the launch...

I wouldn't race a pontiac aztec from a dig in my V. Why risk jacking up your rear for some douche bag... Just keep your head straight, play it cool on green, then hammer it.

I only truly raced one car from a dig in 3 yrs, it was a guy I work with and he was driving his wifes piece of **** 3 series auto. It was damp and like a fool I decided to give it the beans and the car hopped like a bunny on crack all the way through 3rd. Of course I could have buried him from there but it was 5 o'clock traffic and I wasn't going to jail for some dipshit. He thought he trounced me. I hate bmws.

Luckily I have a 99 mustang gt vert with flows for dd use. Now that sob I can stomp at every light and bury most fools, which I do just for the hell of it because I can't in the V. Even if its not a race, I stomp it..feels so nice!

Same with rental cars. I'll do a brake stand in those...If you own a V you have to get it out of your system when you can!

This.. There is a lot of whining and attempts to "even" races out. A 1/4 is a fair comparison with cars that are geared towards the same thing. Both are a 4-door Mid-sized sport luxury sedan. Being a former S4 owner, I know how the community is slept on. There are some real beast out there in the Audi, and for that matter, euro community.

The B5 (99-02) S4 community has some absolute monster car's that would leave a lot of people in here scratching their head.
