I'm not normally looking for a contest of speed but when you're driving a TA it's hard not to.
I'm driving on a major highway close to home, cruising along at 120-130 Km/hr and a fancy looking Lexus coupe SC400 (older) comes right up my rear (where's the respect!). Anyways I figure that they simply want to hang behind me and use me as a speed-trap sheild so I pull aside. They (too young asian guys- not that it matters what race they are!) take off and smile at me as they pass me. I couldn't take it, I hammer down and catch them (fairly easily) at about 180-190km (I give them the "bye- bye" wave - now I'm being the dick, oh well). Just to prove the point I keep on going to about 240Km/hr (150 miles I beleive) and leave them far behind. Now that I've clearly proved my point I throttle down. They come up and pass me and with the respect that the TA deserves they give the thumb's up!
I know it probably wasn't a fair contest but it was fun putting them in their place (behind me!)
I'm driving a 99 T/A white A4 vert with black anniversary strips (very well done) with the few minor mods, K&N FIPK, S2 tb, LS6 intake, Maganflow cat-back.
