For sure! lol. I ment the blimp heel toe auto thingy lol. The manual calls it sport mode. If he is an advance driver he can turn it off and heel toe himself.

As mentioned earlier, don't even attempt a track visit without a large oil cooler, you'll be in limp mode in no time and he'll destroy you.

I only got in about 1.5 hard laps at Miller Motorsports Park (about 3 minutes) before limp mode kicked in, then ran the other 17 minutes of the 20 minute session slowly. It wasn't even very hot out - low 70s. 4500 ft altitude and dry though.

If you hit limp mode, he should be able to handily trash you unless there's a huge difference in driver skill in your favor. So get an oil cooler.

Standing 1/4 will be a drivers race. You'll have the advantage on a road course due to his heavy V8 sitting in front of the front axle (persistent Audi design flaw).

Uh Oh, you are going to get slapped like a b****. Make sure to take some tissue with you Honestly speaking Cunnos, I personally don't see the point of those futile races, you got a fast & nice car, the other party has got a fast(er)/pricier car ... so what...more power to him. 10 seconds later, not much would have changed in your life because you won or lost a lousy race. Good luck if you take on the challenge.

thanks for giving me the heads up, but i dont think i will get slapped the way u describe. If you met this kid you would understand where im coming from, i never do any racing with my Z and typically dont get into this stuff. But this is different, this kid is a little spoiled d*ck who's father bought him a car, never worked a day in his life. Now he is running his mouth, so i wanted to find out what would happen if i accepted his challenge. Thanks for the response though
