It looked to be a 2000ish A8 4.2 quattro... He had exhaust and intake done to it...
Here's how it went down...
Was on a 65mph road that has a few stop lights south of the Twin Cities here in MN. It was about 7 pm at a mild 70 degrees
I noticed him following me for a while and he got next to me at the first stop light. I leave the line fairly aggressively but haven't got into "race mode"
I hear him get into it and I put it to the floor... neither or us really move on each other...
Well we get to the next stop light and I take o/d and t/c off... time to roll! I wait for green and flash the converter... Surpisingly I stay with quattro launch and he only gains about a 1/3 or a car. I gain that back by the end of first but lose it again after the sloppy 1-2 shift I have (gotta get that shift kit in!!!) Gain what I lost and put a 1/2 car on him by the end of 3rd! I was pretty stoked...
He rolled up next to me and we BS and complimented each others cars... Seems he has a milltek exhaust and an intake for the 4.2. I have my Big Brakes and 20's which just help me stop and look cool ( and probably slow me down!)
The 4.2 is rated at 302bhp and 306 ft/lbs with a curb weight of 3800ish lbs
The 4.6 is 290bhp and 280ft/lbs with a curb weight of 3700ish...
I guess it was a pretty even race Feel better after that loss to the crown vic! He HAD to be modified to pull on me like that! This proves it!
