Default Audi TT kill??

Right now its 8:03 and I am at work, I am waiting for a guy here who has a Audi TT convertible..its an older model its manual trans, 1.8 liter Awd. He says its 100% stock with 160k miles...now I want to race him because every one here keeps saying he is light and he will win...i dont believe that!!! I am just sick of hearing that crap! so at 8:30 we will do a dig run and see what happens...my question is what do you think the outcome will be? My biggest concern is me spinning ..i have 275 nittos with about 60% thread left...my mods are A4 3:73 gears, LTs,ORY,gmmg exhaust,lid,tune,weight reduction(60 lbs). I ran a 8.2 1/8th last week and thats with a decent amount of spin...this will be a kill story in about 30 min...let me know your thoughts thanks...

Wow your friends actually think he has a chance? He will lose, and lose badly. Take it easy on the launch, and destroy him once the mph scrolls upward. Video possible??? You had better record it, it's a planned race afterall!

I think you should race him with your moms or dads car to give him a good run. That's if your mom or dad drives a caravan or a smart car.
