Unless I was doing something wrong, a stock 3s is ever so slightly slower than a Scion tC up to about 75.

Yesterday on my way home from the Mazda Flag Meet one of these come flying up behind me.



I didn't know that Audi made a TT RS. I must say that it looks really nice compared to older TTs. I moved over for him to get past me and he slowed down when he passed me. After he passed I got in behind me. We were doing about 65-70 and I was in 5th Gear and he floored it as did I. Well I barley started to gain on him. If I had known he was gonna floor it I would been in 4th instead. I looked up the specs on the car late last night when I had remembered about the encounter.

Nice! I didn't know the TT RS had already made it to the states, but I guess they did. They JUST announced this the other day.

Ooh, that could be a fun roll race. I'll have to keep a lookout for them. From a dig I will refrain from even trying lol.

Once I get a tune and a DP (like, 3 years from now lol), I'll run one from a dig and see. But it still weighs 400 lbs less than my car.

I like the TT but never thought it had the balls to really be a performance car.

That said, the dude who lives behind us drives a regular TT. He's seriously about a 400lb fat dude. I have NO IDEA how he gets into that tiny car. Crisco and a pry bar, maybe? But he makes it ride LOW, and probably SLOW. Makes it weigh as much as an MS6 LOLOLOLOL.

[erod550]

I have a friend who used to weigh 460. He dropped the weight and is about 210 now. He called the first hundred pounds weight reduction 1.0 and the second hundred weight reduction 2.0 lol. He drives a stage 2 Roush Mustang GT convertible (2003 I think). Slow, but looks and sounds awesome.

[Stealth01]

460 is QUITE a big fella, but good on him for losing so much. That's hard to do.

[GR-8]

Sheeesh... 250 lbs. I can barley drop 10lbs how'd he manage that?

[erod550]

No fast food, no soda, chicken and fish made on a George Foreman grill two meals a day, gym 6 days a week alternating cardio one day and upper body lifting the next, then cardio, then lower body, etc. 2 years later he was 200 lbs lighter, no stapling, no band. Dude is my hero because there's no way I could keep up that level of commitment for 2 years.

He's been on Good Morning America, in Men's Fitness magazine, and in a commercial on the George Foreman grill website.

Awesome stuff!

[Stealth01]

Today's challenger was a Genesis Coupe 3.8 that tried to keep me from passing him.

He failed. Badly.

Altitude's a bitch when your 306HP V6 can't breathe.

Haha yeah, I played with one of those before my overheat. In the turns, things were close, but as soon as we were straight, he was GONE.
