So I was driving home when....
 
So I was driving home yesterday and had this guy in a blue Audi tailgating within a foot of my bumper at an on ramp right before merging into a parkway. I gunned it to get over the next lane and was hitting rev limiter before I know it, shifting from 2nd to 3rd to 4th. The dude was still on my Z's a** and tried to pass me on the right side. I let off the gas after looking down at the speedo. He let off also as he got next to me, then proceeded to do a ricer flyby after realizing I wouldn't race him. It looked like a late model modded RS4 (B5). I'm surprised how much the Z kept up considering its pretty much stock and the Audi has a hp advantage even in stock form.

Note: Please don't flame. I wasn't racing this guy, but he was trying to incite a race.

Edit: So apparently it was a modded S4 with over 500hp.

what road were you on?

the RS4 is quick...0-60 in around 4.6 with a 13 sec 1/4 mile....

similiar performance to the Z except they have an extra 2 doors

RS4 has almost as much torque as the Z in HP.

Probably a S4, but who knows. Just don't kill yourself or anyone else.

Audi has an hp advantage, but might as well have lead feet too. Those cars are heaaaavy.

People don't need to be in fast cars to drive like dix. I got cut off by a Land Cruiser today. I constantly get people rev on me, and I just never take the bait. Even if I whip dat azz, it's too much to be bothered with and not worth any of the risks.

Did you smack it or did you grab it

I "punched it", although litigation prevents me from providing further evidence that may imply lack of consent :ugh2:

I mean, yay driving!

Interestingly, the RS4 only gets the jump on the Z off the line due to the Quattro. The 1/4 mi times are all in the high 12s/low 13s with trap speeds almost identical to the Z's. A Z with a catback exhaust, high flow cats, and an intake will probably be neck and neck with a stock RS4.

Cool story bro!

He was pulling like crazy... I knew he had more under that hood. Had I seen this guy's car at a meet, I'd probably go up and compliment him on a nice ride.




Also, I'm not trying to turn this into a vs. thread or anything, although it will likely end up that way. I just hate it when people tailgate like that or people try and race you on public roads. This was probably a boring story you see once a week, but a las, I bored and have nothing better to post about :p

@kenchan: People who drive Honda Fit(s) just wouldn't understand. Here's your charburger and fries.:icon17::icon17:

At least an Audi RS4 was trying to race you, I had pickup trucks, SUVs, Priuses, all were trying to race me. that's sad.

I never had Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches try to race me.
