Default Stg 3 S4 - 0; tuned 996 turbo - 0

Had a very unlikely and fun run in with a 996 turbo this morning. We did a 3rd gear pull, I'd say mid rpm range to redline and guess what?... DEAD even. If anything I pulled 1/2 car at the top, but that was seconds before braking so it's hard to justify.

Anyway, I pulled up next to him and we chatted for a second. After he questioned, I told him I had +turbos and +injectors, and I asked if he was stock. He claimed 650hp, but no time to discuss mods. He told me he was in FOURTH gear! Holy ****! It's refreshing to be humbled in a stg. 3 s4 around these parts.

Default wow, nice run-in. I've got a buddy that just stepped up from his E46 M3 into a 996TT

Haven't had the pleasure of running him yet, and won't until the new clutch is in... but K04s will be in along with it

Nice. Sorry to be OT, but what kind of wheels are on your car? They look good.

Default I saw a '01 with the bigger x50 turbos dyno at ~530whp

He had other intake and exhaust mods.
