Default Took down an Ls1

ok im NOT driving the GT so this isnt bull**** lol, im driving my brothers s4 ( because MA just got a huge snow storm the stangs in the garage ) and im on this 2 lane highway with lights every few miles, and this kid in a ls1 camaro is tryin to race me so i punch it and i cant get passed him so i wait till he backs off a lil then i go up next to him and tell him wait for the light ahead, we slow down just incase it stays green for a while, the light turns red. we stop i rev the lik 6 cylinder bi-turbo up, the loud ls1 just screams at me, the light turns green i smoke him off the launch ( AWD ) and i just pull away up to 135 then back off, the guy said it only had a lid and exhaust.

Okay, call me ignorant, but what is an S4 exactly? It's AWD with a turboed 6-cylinder, but that doesn't narrow it down too much...And were the roads icy?

Audi S4. Twin turbo'd, different horsepower numbers depending on the year. Very fast and very capable AWD car, unbelievably comfortable inside.

I test drove a 2002 S4. My WRX was stage 2 at the time and felt faster, but the tiptronic gearbox on the S4 was like butter. It definitely hauled *** too, and those things are undertuned from the factory. My insurance company wanted twice what I was paying yearly to insure the WRX though, so I quickly passed on it.

The S4 is an Audi.

But last I knew the S4 had a 4.2L V8? Maybe I'm not finding the right information here? All I can find is 2000+ had a V8...

I never was an Audi fan. I'll stick to my American, Japanese and Italian car knowledge ! It's those circles that look too much like the Olympic circles (okay, so you have to close one eye and squint out the other, but you get the idea)...

Yeah seriously lol! Plus it's like twice as nice on the inside when compared to my car. Apparently they're pretty hot items for thieves too? I dunno, I don't see enough of them on the road. Maybe all the ones I do see are stolen! =p
