So last night I ran a 2001 S4 with full bolt onts and supposedly stock turbo's (I am pretty sure it had ko4's) For those of you who dont know the 2001's come v6 twin turbo AWD. I have a 2011 X GSR FULL bult ons making aroun 350....did a second gear pull at 40mph. We were dead even until halfway thru third when he started pulling on me....by 140mph he had 10+ cars on me. How the **** is that even possible....are the ko4's making that much power? Any chance this kid was on ko3 turbo's? Extremely pissed off....currently waiting for my ball bearing red.....i might send block out now because of this race and go 2.2l fp black....to a car with only 7k on it.......and after the race he said maybe by 180 he might have had 100 cars on me....so they think they got jokes.....i got 2 other X's with nice power running him this weekend....so agitated...did not see that coming...I shouldn't have lost by THAT much.
Bro DONT TELL ME I CANT DRIVE....COME OUT TO THE TRACK AND I WILL PUT $500 MY 60 FOOT REPONSE TIMES AND DRIVING WILL BE BETTER KID......you got something dumb to say GO TO ANOTHER THREAD.....
you "loose" an arrow and you "lose" a race. who cares if his car is faster - seriously. its just not that big a deal that you have to lose (not loose) sleep over it and spend a ton of money to do what some a&d ointment can do for less.
I know what you mean though as ive experienced this myself with a few Audis, I ve seen some just bolt off!! no turbo lag, no bogging down... and they leave you thinking... eh???:wtfsign: just happened? lol
The goal of this thread is not to cry about the loss I lost the race...cool awesome great. I am trying to understand the car I lost to...which is making similiar numbers to me....I was hoping to learn about the difference of the 2 cars not get a lecture about my driving or get questioned on the whereabouts....jesus.
It's the tone that comes across in your posts that's caused this reaction by your forum mates. You sound like a 15 year old, seriously. But if I had to guess why your car was slower I'd have to say it probably has something to do with the shape of the powerband on his car.
Just remember:
You losing doesn't mean your car is slow, it just means his is really fast.
The forum moderators takes "road race" stories extremely seriously. Even if it's on the street and you want to hide that fact for the purpose of a discussion about something unrelated to the location, make sure the facts fit the story.
They're two very different cars, and like I said, even on k03s, full bolt ons on both sides, you might've lost out up top due to the way the Audi behaves above 100mph.
"Ttsumibishi" Thank you a response I was looking for.....yes I guess its that torque and twin turbo spool up.....but regarding power na its under 400....look up a few vids on youtube....there is about 3 2001 s4's with kO4 turbo swaps put down about 340 to 350 with full bolt ons....its that torque man HAS TO BE....he came ALIVE top end....
Funny thing: The b5 S4 was generally considered a bit of a heavy pig of a car back in its day because it weighed around 3500-3600lbs.
These days even our little 4-cylinder compact car weighs that much.
I was most certainly shocked at the outcome....its all about that powerband and torque in drag....guess you learn something with every race. And no I am not crying...I dont know how my "tone" comes across I usually never post shit....just couldn't wrap my head around this race....I slept very well last night Imao.....I made the change of plans on car because of reasons with the race and some not....I will be building motor so might as well get black....I would love to see that race. Again its was a safe, fun friendly run no more....I didn't curse him out and leave Imao...hes a cool kid...just didnt understand the car and the powerband I guess. Just goes to show you whp means dick.
Either way you're going to get bias answers lol. Go to an SRT4 thread with a Cobalt SS.. bam, Go to a BMW Thread with an Audi... go to a PS3 Thread with an Xbox360 etc..
Put simply.. he had a faster car or he was a better driver.
The damage done sounds like it just came from a k03'd car on boltons.... very common... k04's are known to do 11's all day when properly sorted...
