Yeah...that was me.
Details: His battle wagon was running a GT28RS @ 23-24psi on 110 octane that day.
It wasn't a bonofide race by any means (didn't even know he was gonna post these up).
He had just got the A/F tuned for the upgraded turbo (after several months) and we were heading to the track to see some results. Before we left, Josh said, "Here's a camera...takes some vids of my car".
I said, "Alright, dude, but I am not going above 100". (I am not much into street racing.) All of this took place on a long stretch of interstate (speedlimit of 70). The vids were of 60-90mph pulls.
Now, the video can be deceptive. I let-off and even braked when I hit 90mph (I like low insurance rates), so there is a "sling shot" effect that makes the Audi look like a rocket ship. The Audi was a good-bit faster than my hatch, but nothing like the video leads you to believe.
They were more or less supposed to be videos to show-off his newly tuned Audi.
He's got a ton of torque-to-weight over me so with both of us having passengers...I was on the losing end. I could feel an acelleration loss with a passenger. Had we been without passengers and I would have gone to higher speeds, I think I could have slowed his pull a bit better.
But whatever. The audi was faster.
Afterwards, I drove his audi at the dragway. On high boost, it pulls harder than my old Lightning.
Those vids are from like April. I have since sold the 330ti and traded in the lightning for an '05 EVO MR. Here is a vid from the MR vs. Audi race (I am in the left lane).
http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....5C84&kw=29&p=0 I redlighted by .018, but he cut a good tree, so it was close enough. The video is crap, but I put about 2+ CL's on him by the end and was still pulling (The MR traps a bit higher). My MR just has a full 3" exhaust and K&N drop-in filter.
He has since sold the audi (see a trend?!!!!).
