But what do you expect with just a chip.
Need stage 3!!

But I took him off the line about 3/4 of a car length. And I'm a fwd!
I don't think he knew right away that we were racing hehe.

Default But it's also over 4000 lbs

Plenty of people have run mid 14s with FWD. An S55 is a flat-low 14 second car. By 60 he was a car length ahead which would multiply to a few in the quarter. Sounds about right.

However, the S55 would kill the A4 after 100.

Default Try attempting a race with a CLK55 with a Kleemann Supercharger...

this thing will eat away most vehicles considering it is an automatic... =)

Turn the ASR off... and even at 40mph you blip the throttle and the rear comes loose. Amazing if you ask me... =)
