Default stock a4 vs civic si

Obviously i lost...

But i had no idea iw as going to lose this badly.... he totally totally walked on me...

we were coming off a ramp late at night(only 2 other cars besides us).... i think i was going about 50-60 in 5th gear.... he started pulling.. so i went into 4th for a bit hit about 5.1-ish rpms and then i went into 5th.. all i can say is wow... I got rocked, badly. by the time i was at 90mph he was at least 5 cars ahead of me.

Will an apr+1 or a giac fx change this outcome? I know that ill be pushing around 220crank hp.. but when its transfered to the wheels, would i come out on top?

Did this kid have mods.. how did he walk you that badly?...

My cousin drives a 2000 Civic SI, Intake, Full cat-back greddy exhaust, header(s)....

I raced him a while back, full stock 2003 A4 1.8T

With the worst start ever.. I held his bumper all the way to the finish line.

Now that I got exhaust, intake, dv I wanna race him again.. I bet we'll either tie or I'll take him by a car.

Sorry though man that sucks.. btw we raced 0-90ish? I dont know what the outcome is from a 50 roll[&:]

V-TEC is a beast on the high RPM's. I bet he was tuned too.

my buddy just bought a 4 door si, he said that they run 170 stock, he is mad cause he came from a evo 8 before that, and an r32 before that

traded the r for the evo cause he wanted to go faster, traded the evo for the si cause he ran nitrous too long and started jacking stuff up, had to drop some cash to fix it and decided he couldn't afford it

Well, if it was a new Si, the loss sounds right. Stock for stock, the new Si will walk a 1.8T A4 pretty bad. My friend has one, they're pretty decent lil cars. W/ APR Stage 1 and exhaust though, it should be a driver's race in all honesty.
