i think u might walk him pretty easily, they aint that fast. if hes auto, eat him harder. manual might be a good race, but hes also Front wheel drive, so i dont know about that "i can take you off the line"

haha

The manufacturer's data for the A4 2.8 auto is 0-60 in 8.4s, and the 1/4 mile in 16.5s.

Hell, at that pace a 4-cylinder Accord 5-spd could keep up with one!

You should have NO problems whatsoever crushing your friends ego because after you race him he's going to realize that he just spent upwards of $30k on a car that can't even outrun a 4-cylinder Accord, much less a V6 one, or even a Maxima!!! bwaaahahahaha!!

BTW

...your friend does know that the redesigned 2002 A4 is right around the corner, right? It'll have a 3.0L 225HP V6 this time. It sounds like he was trying to get a good deal on the last 2k1's, though, but if not this would be more ego crushing material for after you beat him...heh heh

You: "Well hey, maybe you woulda beat me with the new A4 3.0."
Your friend: "huh????"
You: "Yeah, didn't you know the redesigned A4 is almost out?"
Your friend:


muhahahaha
