Agreed, lol. Audis aren't very 'bang-for-your-buck' cars! Everyone should have a Vette sitting in their garage anyway...

Bah. I had a chance to race a V6 2010 Camaro. Well if I were in MY car and I was driving. Was a couple days ago in my sisters mustang. (An 02 sixer) This blacked out camaro got next to us and floored it. Didn't look very impressive at all. Why he'd want to challenge a V6 Stang is beyound me. Probably cause he's lost to a GT.

Man I wish I had my 8 out. Just so I could know if it would be a close race.

YouTube- RS4 Accelerating

I'd still have to go with the RS4, NA or not. I've never been to fond of the RS6



That is acceleration! Wish my 8 could do that, :lol:

According to the video title, that was a B5 RS4 with a GT2871R turbo. 650+ HP. So that SHOULD be able to accelerate.

The one I played with pulled away from me easily, but not like that. LOL.

had a guy this morning try his hardest to catch me in a black '10 speed 3 on the highway. I saw him a ways back, was going 85 or so, he had to be doing over 100 to catch me. He gave me a thumbs up, and then motioned to race. Slowed down to about 60, honked three times, and had a fun run from 60 to about 110. I pulled about a car length on him in each gear.. He actually followed me all the way to my shop, and we chatted for about 30 minutes, nice guy.. He said he will join the club...

btw, what the hell is with that chrome stripe going down the side of the new speed 3's?? yuk

I'm thinking he added that, cause they don't come with chrome anything on the sides.

I think the black '10s look the best out of all the colors, and I'm slowly warming up to them. Still glad I got the red '09 over the light blue '10 they had though.

Yeah. :p

One of the few good things Mazda did right was leave off ANY door molding.

Challenged this morning by a Black (with gray Shelby stripes) 2006-ish Mustang Cobra. I've met the guy, though he doesn't know my car, and he actually owns two. The second is a 2010 in Grabber Blue with red shelby stripes.

ANYWAY, he rode my back bumper all the way down a 4-mile stretch of road. When I got in a turn lane, so did he. I merged onto a 4-lane highway behind a semi, and rolled into the left lane, then punched it to get around the truck. The Cobra continued to ride my bumper, so I kept on the gas until about 65 (the PSL), passed the truck and moved over. Kept accelerating, just because it was clear road ahead of me. This guy stayed RIGHT in my blind spot the whole way. I wanted to tell him, "Hey, stop playing with your food!"

I'd like to have ONE Cobra, but two would be EPIC win.

Black '09 WRX hatch. 10mph roll - we were side by side at a light but didn't go right away. Pulled half a car on him by mid-3rd and held it until mid-5th which I think was around 90ish. Should have pulled more on him but it's hard to get into the habit of shifting at 5500 so I was shifting late for my powerband. It's possible it was a modded '08, but it was quiet and looked stock so I dunno. I think I would have pulled harder than that from a roll on a stock '08, so that's why I'm assuming it was an '09.

What's the difference between a stock 08 and a stock 09?

About 40hp difference (the 09's are 265hp stock), better suspension and other cosmetic upgrades.
