I was nearing a traffic light at a two lane road, but there was a lot of congestion on the left lane so I did what I normally do. I pulled up on the right-which is more of a right turn lane with no arrow-with my music blasting loud. The road up ahead divides into one lane (about 50 ft from the stoplight) which gradually breaks off(on my side). There was a new 2dr Ford Explorer Sport next to me but I didn't give it a second look. The light went red and we both floored it. His engine was roaring next to my rear quaterpanel. Unfortunately, my lane was breaking off soon so I had to lay off even though I had half a car length on him. The situation was getting dangerousI knew that he was not gonna lay off and felt like if i didn't his monstrous truck was gonna hit me. I had to do it. I just thought i'd share.

"The light went red and we both floored it. " haha sorry to hear man...painful loss.

Hate to say it.. but my V8 Explorer would kill my stock A4 off the line :-(

what do you have?? A 1.8t or 2.8??

MLOSU

Tip 1.8t... unbelievably slow till the boost starts to build!

If we would have gone 0-100 (which was not possible on this city street) I know I would pull at least 3 car lengths on him with the stock a4. Aside from the 1\2 car length I had on him, we were pulling evenly till the road broke off.

Sadly, it's slow when the boost builds too.

MLOSU

it goes from "unbelievably slow" to just "slow" once the boost builds :-p
