Alrighty, I really should have known better than to go picking a fight with 3 people and a bunch of luggage in the car, but the guy in the S4 was pretty aggressive as he threaded his way through traffic.
We wound up next to each other at red light, first in line (did I mention I was dreaming yet? anyhow... this is all a dream).
I kept creeping up on the red light just to annoy Audi boy. Light turns green and he does nothing. Then he started to pull away so I pulled away next to him and then goosed the Merc to put a fender on him.
I let him pull along side again at which point he looks over and I see the nose of the S4 dip down... he had already caught second gear and just realized that at 9 mph he'd better be in first.
I matted the Marauder just as the nose picked up on the Audi and quickly pulled half a car on him while he was "lagging" behind.
But alas, twas not to be. As quickly as I was building RPMs dragging a nearly full load, his boost picked up and carried him away.
I held him off through the 1-2 shift, but beyond that he was starting to get the better of me.
His car appeared lowered and had tinted windows with some pretty stickers on some of them, so I'm thinking he might have been a bit better than stock. I've been all over those cars before (the turbo S4s, not the V8s) and didn't think the payload I had would be such a drag.
Oh well... 'nuther reason for a Trilogy!
