^Sometimes the lines for the spray can be hidden fairly easily. Did you check the trunk area for a bottle?

It probably has a stealth cam or Z06 cam/243 head/LS6 intake with gears.

ls6 swap? your buddy can't drive? he had a better tire and wasn't spinning? was his car louder than stock? he could have been full bolt ons and given you a run. could be anything man.

well its an a4 with a shift kit and he can drive the car sounds totally stock like there is nothing done. i asked if he had an ls6 but he said no but then again he could be a hell of a bullshitter

Well we will never know. It's one of God's secrets when he touched every LS1 off the assembly line with his very own hand.

Agreed, if he can beat your car, then your friend's numbers sound legit but if you're edging him out then perhaps his car has issues.

I think this is important in finding out how truthful the other guy was.
