Default AP1 kills Audi S4

My car: 03 S2000 with Invidia N1 exhaust.

Pulled up to a stop light next to a black S4 4.2l but I wasn't really paying attention so when the light changed I took off normally. Then I hear this WOO-WOOOOOO of a V8 next to me. I floored it and looked over to see what I was up against. (this stretch of road is divided 4-lane with no side streets or houses for a mile, so I figure we're only risking ourselves)

When I saw what it was I figured I'd get beat. But I guess he couldn't drive his car.

I pulled him 2 lengths in first, another length in second, and was 4 lengths ahead when I shut down at 100.

As the guy goes on by me he holds up his hands like "wtf"? He has to stop at the next light. I pull up next to him and he rolls down his window. "Is that stock?" he asks me.

"Just an exhaust." I say. He repeats "just an exhaust..." and shakes his head. He is clearly disappointed by being beat by a stock NA 4-cylinder.

Then the light changed and we both took off normal.

That's my first encounter since I put on the Invidia. I have to say my car really does feel stronger with this exhaust. I know it's only supposed to be a few hp, but I swear I can feel it.

Must have felt good flying through the rpm band to 9000rpms walking the S4.

Poor S4. I rode in one of my co-workers S4's before. It feels very heavy and doesn't feel very smooth. The rear seats were very small for a 4 door too. A waste of money in my opinion. I would rather get an M5. At least there's more room for passengers....

later

I've always known the SY cars are the fastest S2000s.

You know it.

I also have to admit I enjoyed the look on the other guy's face when his car got owned by my little stock 4-banger.

The dude was seriously bummed.

I figure you got the jump. The S4's first gear should be a lot more powerful?
