so rolling down the highway, i see a brand spanking new Audi TT.... so i decide i MUST catch this car and show him why he just spent to much money on the wrong car.... should be an easy kill right!?
well, i catch him at a light, dude never even looks at me, roll away from the light in 3 just incase, and im not sure what the speed was exactly, but we had crossed the intersection i hear his TT spool and blow off valve give a slight woosh when he shifts... so i nail it ... yeah he got the jump on me... but i dont get a down shift.... nothing, the car just starts accelerating!!! so at this point i already give myself a small SON OF A BITCH!... anyhow, it was deffinatly a manual car, i could see and hear him shifting the whole way through... unfortunatly i am not sure if i reeled him back in or he let off...
at a certain point i catch him and pass him.... but already so pissed at myself and the car for not performing and i couldnt tell what exactly happened...
i was so mad i ran home and checked the specs on the damn cars because i figured i must have just bit off more than i could take in a stock a4 04... but every place i can find a number says that they are low 14 second cars in any form,.... so im really not sure why i had so much trouble, unless i managed to find the goats weak spot.....
im still not sure why i didnt get a kick down when i was in 3rd gear... i should have gotten at least 2nd i think....
ah well... just reminds me why i need a tune!!!
it makes me wonder if perhaps it was a combo of an un-tuned a4, and tq mgmt that might have kept me from getting that downshift...
YARGH!!!
IM Still embarrassed...
