2003 S2000 vs. 2004 GTO...
One of my friends at my job has an automatic '04 GTO, only mod is a catback exhaust. I don't have any delusions of beating him from a dig, but what would be a good speed to give me some sort of advantage from a roll? I've heard 45mph is a decent "deadspot" for A4s? Once I get a new clutch I'll go from a dig just for the hell of it, but I don't think my 80k+ mile clutch will take more than one or two 7,000rpm launches right now

Yeah go from around 45-50. I don't really think it is going to matter much, especially if you have nothing done to your honda. The s2000 is a nice car, but that gto has about 120hp and like 200tq on you from the word go. That's just going by what I have read on ratings. Have fun with it, and good luck.

Well S2000s put down ~200rwhp stock, so I have a ~120hp disadvantage... but I also have an ~800lb weight advantage. And a 4.10 vs. 3.23 gearing advantage. I know he's eventually gonna come around me, but we're talking about a car that traps 99-100mph in the 1/4 vs. a car that traps 100-102mph in the 1/4. So if I can catch him where it won't downshift to first, but is a bit low in second, I think I can make it interesting. Today I'm gonna see where a 45 roll would put me in 2nd gear.

Sorry Irun...I like ya and all, but I don't give advice to help out S2k owners. Except, to be certain the rainbow sticker in the back fills both bottom corners. Gotta make that bad boy HUGE and noticable.

my mother has an 05 s2k. and I have a 06 GTO and a 01 SS camaro. I have run all three cars
S2k vs SS A4= SS destroying S2K
S2k vs GTO M6 = same as above.
Sure it was a 05 S2k which is a few pounds heavier than the 03s. But still no way man unless you have some serious mods, And even then it would only be until 100mph or so and then you would still lose.
Now stop worrying about V8s and go hunt down some Srt4s and 3000GTs

Cute
Well an A4 LS1 F-body is gonna be noticeably quicker than an A4 LS1 GTO, and an M6 LS2 GTO is gonna be as well. I think this race is gonna be a little closer than you guys think. We're talking about a ~13.8 @ 104mph car vs. a ~14.0 @ 100mph car. Like I said, the GTO should win, but I don't think it will be a slaughter by any means. Especially if I can run him from his weak spot.

A 14s flat car getting it's "*** handed" to it by a high 13s car? Like I said, I'm sure he'll end up coming around me, but I doubt it will be too bad. We'll see how my clutch likes it. And I'll try to get it on video.

I know that the 04 a4 gto isn't the fastest ls1, but it should be able to outperform a honda s2000 from any speed any temperature any time of day. The s2k may have it on a road course, but the goat is the straight line acceleration champion of those two. Just do it and let us know what happens.

I think you know who's going to win if you're making a thread to see all of the unfair advantages you can get against him.
Irunelevens-
First, I'm going to run from his weak spot and refuse the roll he wants, then I'm going to honk it off so I can get the jump, then I'm going to shut down before he comes around me. Then, I'll make excuses for why I can't run him from his strong spot.. like my clutch is going out.
This seems like a rice thread to me
