Fun with an NSX I was on a long main road here in orlando and swirving through the traffic I saw a red NSX. I have only seen about 2 of these in my life so I slammed the accelerator until I caught up. We exchange revs, it looked good and it sounded good also, he had nice rims on it and it looked lowered....well they are pretty low to begin with. He was on the lane next to me with a car in front of him, so when the light turned green I sped a bit and shifted two lanes to the left. I slowed down and he passed the car in front of him and got up next to me. We were going at about 60 and we hit it. He hung with me until about 110 with me only a car and a half up. Then we catch a red light together and he says "wow that thing is fast", I asked him what he had done and he answered "exhaust and stuff"...dunno what that means.
So we light the tires up a bit and wait for the green. Once it changes we slam both hook very well, I pulled hard and by 80 I had 3 cars on him, around 90 he started pulling back and by 125 again I only had a good car and a half on him. Good runs, one of those real good feeling races.
on a side not I also ran a 03 black GT with full exhaust and some very wide rear tires. Sounded great but I put about 6 lenghts on him by 80 and just let off and got a fly by.
Reved at a Ford GT also just cause I wanted to see him kick my *** but he was all show no go.

If it had the projector headlights, that's basically right up there with the LS1 Corvette 6spds as far as performance. I've seen as quick as 12.7 @ 110mph. So it sounds like your A4 gave you the automatic "driver mod," as he was catching back up with you toward the end

Yeah, pictures make them look bigger than they are... very small cars (dimensionally). Not quite as finicky as S2000s, as they've been highly-praised as a car that's so easy to drive "8/10ths," but you still have to be spot on and shift at redline to get the most out of them.
