if your car is a stick, and you can out drive him to a win you should be good. if not tires, and free mods you will do some damage to him.

NITROUS!! haha i'm joking. If you know how to drive, you will beat him. If you don't, learn how before you race him.

In stock form expect low 14s, high 13s from the Evo. Unless the driver is really good. I would give you a 2 car lead maybe more, (also depending on the driver) at the end of the quarter. Should be a fun race though. Good luck.

ya, ts a A4 and until i move out of the house and go to college, no mods are allowed, so if at the track, i dont spin, i should take him, he claims motortrend says it'll run 13.0 stock, which i guess is possible since stock SS go 12.9

I've seen the Evo's run at the track........The SRTs were right on their a$$ (1-2tenths) They were running low 14s
Shouldn't be a problem for you.
