t/a vs. audi TT
well, i was in philly, it was real late monday night, about 12 
and i pull up to a stoplight with a TT on my left. No one else is around, the light is really short and I give it 1/4 throttle to go because my car wasn't very warm yet. So just as I pull past him leaving the light, I hear his car rev up. He jets up ahead and so I slam the auto shifter back into first and... wump wump wump. ****, it bogs. I keep the pedal down though, and suddenly after maybe a second and a half it caught. It threw my head back and chirped the tires from my roll at almost 30mph. So i turn on my dome light so i can see where to shift (damn light module is bad so my gauges don't light) and i am kinda catching up. He is a good 7 cars up but he is still flying and there is a nice, big, wide turn coming up so i stay on it. We hit the turn, and i had just maxed out my speedo as i started to pull (85 mph mother f-ing speedo). My car was loving the high rpms and cold wind now. Just as the turn leveled out, i was about 3 cars back when he slammed on the brakes. I did too, and just stopped in time for the red light ahead. We nodded to eachother, us both being college students and i proceeded left as he went straight. That was my race, a significant loss due to bog, but a loss nonetheless. So, anyone know what those puppies run? It was definately a little old (he was in college) maybe mid to late 90's(?) and it was NOT stick. Thanks guys, and keep on racing.
