Raced a friends 00 SS He has a cutout, lid, and I think a stall. Anyway he's an A4 and I'm an M6. We raced from about a 55 roll and I was in 2nd. I thought I was going to blow his doors off, but it was a dead even race. Do you think he has a stall. He bought the car a few months back off of a guy from norcal-ls1...He didn't do anything to it yet besides what was already done to it. He doesn't know what a stall is either. I was just wondering because I've smoked the **** outta A4 LS1's... His car is gunmetal gray mettalic. His car was also a lot louder than mine.

Think its between 35-50 mph. Hate it when it does that crap, I'm never racing in the dead zone but sometimes I'm just trying to quickly pass someone and I get nothing compared to the usual.

For my A4 the deadspot is between 35-50 mph.. anywhere between there it doesn't drop down to a low enough gear at WOT

Taking him from a stop all depends on your launch. Because A4's launch really good. It looks like your getting some good runs in. I cant wait to bring my car back home. I havent ran anyone in a while.
