Default A3's first weekend home

430pm friday August 18th.......happy meinbtraudi is heading home.
First try at blowing the doors off a 3 series BMW....pretty much a draw.....the clutch and I need more training. Second attempt and the wheels crip a bit but smoke the 3!!!
Hand the keys to the bride......she finds a newer MR2 and has her fun.........

Saturday the kid wants a try............60 some miles later we're home and now is planning one for himself!!!

So far so good!

Greg in Minneapolis

i had a chance to run a new miata the other night...jackass was tailgating me pretty hard both turning left at the light, i turn left into left lane he goes into right lane so he can pass me...well that never happened . left him about 2 cars back. Probably took him so badly cause he had a slush box, saw him doing the auto creep with the brakes on at the next light. shame his 'sports car' can't out run my wagon.

hdground.............. is the A3 chipped? if it isn't, try chipping it and you'll definately beat a 2 series

Falcom........ i hate miatas....... the only people that shouuld be driving it are hot looking chicks

Illwork.......... A3 2.0 stock is supposed to be 200hp and 207 lbs torque, once you chip it, it's roughly 245ish hp and 275ish lbs torque

If you watch A3Night 0-60 video, he's doing 0-60 with his DSG at roughly 5.9 seconds

Yep saw the video............working on chipping it!

Matt's 19 going on 25! Good kid, like motorcycles (Buells) and crotch-rockets! I trust him with anything I own!

The handle started out with hd for harley davidson the GP part came from a bike I'd love to own! anyway put the two together and here I am! On the stock boards and such with the same handle!

Pics should come after the first wash! And a little wax.
