Finally!

I had the privledge to race one of the cars I was dying to race. It happened on the way back home from the gym. I left early cause I felt like crapness since I skipped 4 days worth of gym time. Nevertheless, the gods made my queasiness disappear once a bright red 2.0T A3 appeared.

I started tailing him, purposly missing my exit to see if he was a stocker... he was!!! I then looked for an opportunity to come up to him side by side trying not to let my exhaust give it away but the traffic wouldn't yield. Then finally 3 lanes clear for about 3/4 of a mile. He starts to get on it and I soon follow... easy win.

To make it better, the light turned red and we were both stopped waiting. He begins to taunt me by showing me he's a manual. I'm reminded of the time Nam burned me real good but that didn't bother me. Today I'll prove how much of a difference a chip + exhaust can make. I taunt him back by revving slightly and jumping forward a few inches. The light then turns green, I do my best to give him a 6 second launch to 60mph and I succeeded. I look back and gained at least 7 cars. I slow down a bit to let him catch up but I guess I have too much distance. Boy was that fun

So there you have it. My dumb attempt to compare a chipped A3 and a stock A3. But basically the moral is a chipped a3 will give you around a 7 car advantage and a chipped a3 will beat a stock a3.

 

Nice Kill

that A3 driver probably doesn't even know anything about chipping or moding!!!! but i'm sure he'll find out soon....... that'll be funny if he finds himself on this forum and reading this thread!!!!! but SEVEN CARS?!?!?!?!?!?? at 60mph? awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wanna race A3Night at a rolling of 55mph to see how much i lose by by 100mph

damn, i haven't ran my 93 octane in a while, i have an urge now!!!!!

 

I'm still stock besides a cold air intake. I'll race you A3Night I still got 2k more miles until I'm going to get chipped.

7 car lengths??? Wow .... I wonder if the guy just didn't know how to drive. Just cause he's got a stick doesn't mean he knows how to use it.

 

A3Night, what kind of exhaust you have on yours?

Man ya'll giving me the urge to get exhaust on my car after chipping it..urgghh.

 

It could be a combinaiton of things. DSG in the end shifts faster than a manual but is difficult to launch. I basically have to launch about 1/3 of a sec before the light turns green to actually get the car to move once the light switches.

Urges suck. Everyday I'm killing my MPG by having acceleration sprints. I really need to STOP but I cant

I have a APR turbo back exhaust. Def worth it... do it do it!!!

 

i've yet to see another A3 on the road since i bought mine...chipped, stock, 3.2, 2.0 or whatever. I've got a rather unique car!

 

you're young once, right? I'll probably get the exhaust early next year after my big bonus. Where did you get your APR turbo back exhaust at, A3Night??

Is yours loud? I want one that gains HP but not loud, so it wont kill the luxury feel Audi has, ya know what i mean.

 

I'm 23. graduated last year in a real good job. Soo... I need to spoil myself as I suffered a lot in college.

You can see my hardships and review with the exhaust here... with a video

After about about 3000 miles with the exhaust, its loud, BUT OH SO MUCH FUN!!!

If you want the luxury feel, then this is probably not for you as it is loud. I've heard the stealth option is not much quieter. Come down to our next meet and I'll give you a demo.

 

when's the next meet?

 

boywonder.......... obviously you haven't riden in a chipped A3 yet, the performance is sooooooo much greater than a stock A3, i'm walking about 30% increase in hp and 50% increase in torque to the wheels, so no matter how good of a driver that stock MT A3 driver is, he'll ALWAYS get at least six carlengths behind from 0-60 against a chipped/exhausted A3.

Audi28XWJ.......... APR sells a stealth exhaust, which is just a tad bit quieter than the normal exhaust, but the hp gains are not as great due to restriction in airflow

hope to see more A3's at the next gtg........ i wanna see a 3.2 show up sometime!!!!!

Falcompsx............ yeah we have pretty unique cars, i've only seen about 4 A3's driving around san diego since i got it in July of 05.... one of which i raced, he was stock, easy kill.
