Default Ran a V8 S4, Video

Ran a 04 Audi S4 V8 tonight. I pulled nicely 3 of 4 runs. He won one when I gave him the jump - big mistake. I was pulling great off the hit, I let him get the jump.

He was talkin a lot of **** prior to the run too. My bro in law set the run up. He told him I ran 13.5 @ 103 - his response was "sad". He ate his humble pie nicely though, good sport about it.

lol, he's complaining about the runs now. He now wants to do 60 rolls. I invited him to the track Friday to get some real runs in. He has more car, more power, he SHOULD win - we shall see.

Nice runs, way to represent! Audi owners are just about as bad as Porsche owners.

One thing I noticed, and this is meant with no disrespect, but if I run from 30 and downshift into first gear it will snap you back in the seat so hard it would be hard to keep a camera focused.

Does the Impala really only weigh 130 lbs more than the GXP?

My Impala weighed 3880 with me in it, and I'm about 205lbs.

And trust me, she's pulling nicely in 1st gear, camera man is used to riding in the car lol.
