You will edge him out by a 1-1 1/2 cars at the finish line is my prediction.

I take the T/A, the track times on those new RUSTANGS don't back up the claimed 305hp. I don't believe that the new stangs really put down those #'s at the wheels, like most LS1 cars do. U beat down that lil pony

It's pretty hard to miss a shift in an A4....

Plus the LS1 is just faster....

I think the WS6 should win but I suspect the actual winner will be the better driver. I think the best reaction time will decide the winner.

I suspect the better driver will be the auto WS6. It's hard to be a bad driver in an A4. Also, who voted for the mustang?

Zach your tires are crap so get them heated up real good, dont launch to hard, and feather it about a 1/4 way down the track the stomp it. Your dad will get his nittos to stick well so he is going to lauch good. It all is going to depend on how you drive, not "mustangs dont make much power so you will own him"........

Dustin you forgot to mention what a ram air system would do for his car. He will beat his Pops if he hooks.

You SHOULD win, unless you completely suck at launching. I don't recomend stomping the gas a 1/4 of the wqay down the track because all you're going to end up doing is shifting back down into first. Just roll into it slowly in first gear but get it all the way down before it shifts into second.
