Audi s6 owned

In my 06 elise,driving down 121 from 75 towards frisco mall area. Two gweedo bags o douche rolled up while i was cruising along minding my business. 99% of the time i waive the wannabe vin diesels along street racing is for idiots BUT i was curious what the new s6(the one w/ gallardo engine) would do.They pulled up i was at about 90mph they went into el douche-o mode instantly pulled on them (not extremely hard) but by the time i hit 125 i was easily 5 car lengths ahead. Point made, i understand they are just trying "to live their lives one quater mile at a time" but maybe daddy will spring for the lambo next time.
(btw not bragging more like sharing what i thought to be more amusing than anything)

Even if your Elise were supercharged, this would be an impossibility.

Pretty sure they made you look dumb.

+1 A NA Elise pulling on a S6? lolwut?

S6 is 4486lbs., 435hp, so 10.31lb per hp.

Elise is 1984lbs (?), 190hp, and 10.44lb per hp.

they? Seems like you reciprocated pretty effectively. Don't stoop to their level. You're better than that.

125 does not belong on public roads...ever.

Edit: Just occurred to me this could be a joke?? I'm really hoping so. In which case....I've been served.

I have an rs4 with 420 hp and an s240. Up to about 110 the s240 walks on it but after that the rs4 says goodbye as the v8 grunt wins out...

Considering the power to weight ratio that someone posted..... I would say this would have been possible except for the fact that you said from 90 - 125 you got 5 car length on someone who was more than likely in an auto S6 without having to shift. Not gonna happen.

auto's still change gears (just automatically) so I'm not sure what you're talking about. If the Audi accelerated hard the tranny would probably delay slightly before downshifting.

yes i never stoop to the tards level but this did in fact happen. I was about 1 half car length head start and i knew they were about to start in so i dropped into gear probably a second before they did. I am aware the s6 would beat me at those speeds but with 18yr old punks and the added weight of the hair greese.... didnt happen. i assume it was the brand new s6 as it had paper license plate(and looked new).
Anyways it happened, me and my girlfriend found it amusing, no reason to make anything up.

I'm sure you are not making it up. The only logical explanation is that they weren't really racing or weren't racing very hard, which would explain why you were able to smoke them so bad. There is no other explanation on how you could have gotten 5 lengths on them.

Maybe they saw what a huge jump you got and thought it wasn't worth it. Maybe they just wanted to see the Elise pull. Maybe they were just baiting you. Maybe they can't drive.

Bottomline. Story is amusing, but NA Elise is not faster than S6 Audi 90-125mph. I'm sure you smoked them, but not because the Elise is faster.

On point! , but still when you break down the power to weight, pretty darn close. Were the Guido's heavy..

As someone of italian descent i'd like to point out the correct spelling is Guido.

Also since someone in my immediate family is Down's Syndrome, I guess I could be doubly offended by this post. Maybe in this case, I'll save my indignation. I think this post revealed more about the OP than the subjects of his disdain.

hah sorry to offend i should have just said gay, well guess that would offend you too. So sensitive, I don't think Tony Danza would get his panties in a bunch. Maybe you should lighten up and not be so literal. But they were definitely mentally challenged Italian Americans.
Yea no doubt the car is faster top end could be several explanations, maybe pizza oil on the triptronic and an early shift?
