Default my car is slow!!!

first off so i dont get flamed, i was not trying to "race" an aztec im simply comparing my take off to his...

so im at a light this morning next to a guy in a yellow aztec, i wasn't paying attention (trying to decide if i make the right to go to work or straight to the gas station) he takes off i see him leave and i take off. now the sad part, after the intial turbo lag he's already way ahead of me so i keep the gas down and i still wasn't able to even begin gaining on him.

it was really depressing, i know these cars aren't fast stock but doesn't that seem wrong?

sorry bud but, yeah they are really slow!! I know it sucks. APR that thingand you'd have him in the dust. Just keep in mind...who cares about that sh*@ box aztek. You're in an Audi. He's prolly jealous cuz he doesn't have one!

yeah very valid point...it was still a kick in the nuts.

I am trying to hold off on modding for a couple months, i'm saving for bike which would then become my toy, but i was about 1 second from pulling the trigger on the speed tuning deal from ebay after i spoke to Oliver the other night.

If i can't find the bike i want at the right price by May the Audi wont know what hit it.

BTW its a tip and i was in TIP mode this morning. TIP isn't **** except for a decent way to control the shifting in the snow otherwise i have to say its pointless. but i settled for the tip knowing i would be looking for a bike within a year.
