Batride VS. S4
VS. Audi S 4
This morning in the express lanes on the kennedy inbound , in bumper to bumper traffic, A guy in a what appeared to be brand new S4 nails it next to me. it sounded badazz. So traffic dictates that we meet again. I scream the tires and NLS into second past him, to return the favor. We slow down to let about 15-20 car lenths empty out in front of us . i initiated the slow down. he coast up next to me and nails it, I was thinkin a wave , a couple horn beeps something, Nope just nails it , so i'm a split second behind him. threw redline in second gear he maintained his head start of about a lenth and a quater. Hi-po 8 vs. Hi-po 4 . I'm not gonna consider it a lose , Because if i jumped on him Like he did me, He would not have caught me.
It was pretty cool though. I gaurantee he was like WTF when we had to slow down and i was right there with my 4 banger. For what he paid for that car, he should be embarased buy it's performance.
Dragrazzzzin on the kennedy - Ya i know, Not smart , Ya had to be there, Any guy with nuts and an SS would have done the same thing.
It was a sweet car though.

Batman, Your kill count climbs.... with x-mas right around the corner, I'd be asking for a Car Cam, so we can see these frequent bouts of bad-azz-ness...... as my wife states V-8's are for guys with small packages.

I have a buddy with a S4 his is twin turbo but it isn't a new one he is always talking about leaving some thing in the dust it must be pretty fast. Sure glad you put new shoes on the " BAT ROCKET " you don't drive like a guy who should be on baldies

I'm on the Corvette Forum as well as this one, so V-8s are my favorite. Of course, it's modded to well over 600RWHP, and it still gets 27 MPG.

Batman,
I'm sure when my second car is done, I won't even have close to the SS MPG. I can't wait to show up any thing with a 488 CID Pontiac V8/Th 400 under the hood of my 4th gen Firebird(Stripped of course). Under 3300 pounds and close to 600 ft/lbs of torque.Great to show up these expensive cars. They have spend a boat load on fancy interiors and name brands. I love giving more expensive/muscle cars a run for their money. In most cases, I come out on top. The SS is really a sleeper. I really have to instigate a race for anyone to take me on. Anyone feel the the same way??
