Default Audi TT Kill

IDK to be proud of it or not? Are those cars fast? He seemed to get up to 120 pretty quick, just not as quick as me

Anyways, going down the highway, pass him at like 75 just cruising and he didn't like it much I guess. I see him coming up quick in the rear view so I missed my exit purposely like any car guy would to get a good run in. As soon as I see him coming up on me I hit it, and immediately start pulling away before he even got to my back bumper. I got up to 130 pretty quick but he hung behind me pretty good. Like I said though, i'm not sure if those cars are fast or not. He stopped next to me to talk for a second and he was a pretty cool guy, he actually lives in my neighborhood. They're good looking little cars, that's for sure.

It was definitely stock besides the transformers sticker

But i've been reading up on them and the fastest ones only come 335 to the crank. It was definitely an 08 or newer.

If you aren't going to mod it for a few weeks let me get new tires so we can do a dig run. Looks like those headers and tune woke her up!!! I was wondering a couple weeks ago what happened to you. Haven't seen you on or around.

Yea i've been in lurker mode on tech for a while. She pulled a 8.20 at greer a few weeks back with a 1.9 60' on street tires, but she tapped the limiter before shifting. I'll give you a dig if you'll give me a 45 roll, and I can wait a few weeks.

That's fine. With you having 40+rwhp advantage I figured a dig would be my best chance. I know the roads around here are hard to find a good spot to run but I would love to get some daytime videos of us running.

Same here, that'd be cool. I'd say you probably have the weight advantage though. I haven't weighed mine but even after getting about 100 pounds out, you're still a good 300ish pounds lighter.

Did it have quad exhaust tips? could've been a TTRS.
We had one on the road behind us the other day, came up behind us pretty quick so we just moved over doing about 80 in the dd. Didn't seem to pick up to quickly again when he got on it again, maybe just getting used to the car because it had brand new plates on it.

A guy I bought my skyline from had the TT with Race package whatever that includes and I was not impressed driving it at all. The skyline 250hp Turbo 5 speed would crush it on any track straight or twisty. Good kill though
