Upcoming Race...
I have a race coming up this weekend for some cash.
My car is a 96 Z28 M6 only mods are true duels and maybe a messed up MAF sensor.
His car is a 95 Z28 with "home made" intake, A4 no cats, bald tires, 4.10 gears for some reason and a tune. He is a dumbass I really hope to shut him up because no one likes him. We are going to race from a 20 roll. Do you guys think it will be a good race or would I be able to rape him? How are those 4.10 gears helping him with an A4?

With 4.10's he'll have nasty acceleration. But you should take him in the top end. Race to redline and its all you. If you do a stop at 100 or 1/4 mile, it could be him. And the tune prolly helps him a bit too.

Please, do this carefully. This just screams "big industrial zone with hundreds of wannabe racers watching".

These sorts of things can be tricky sometimes, as i've seen slightly more modded LT1 A4's run right with LT1 M6 cars. Heck, I got my feelings hurt in my old M6 car when a similarly modded auto put a car on me. It should be a good race.

The auto is actually gonna help him and so will the 4.10s. You better be shifting as fast and as hard as you can cus if its close, the shift points are where he will pull on you. Put some 4.10s in your car and the edge goes to you. The longer the race, the more i think you can beat him. I say it will be a very good race and will depend on your driving. Best of luck and hopefully you can shut him up.

So why do they say the A4 should have 3.73 gears and the M6 have 4.10 when in this case he has an A4 with 4.10 and he will be fine?

its not that big of a difference really. 3.73 are recommended because of fewer gears. i actually had 4.10s with my auto before and didnt really mind the higher cruising rpms and plus i never race over 130 so they didnt hurt me. I raced an lt1 in my stang and we ran the exact same times but he beat me from a roll cause i couldnt shift fast enough compared to his auto. He would nudge ahead maybe a foot every time i shifted. I had 4.10s in the stang too and from a roll that thing felt like a monster if i downshifted low enough, even though it was still slow haha.

People say those gears because people are clueless on gears man. I have 4.30s in my Mustang and although I ride around at 70mph at 2700rpms it pulls like a freight train even in 5th. It so far has been the best mod done to my car. On street tires though I have also acquired the first gear is useless mod.
Going with such a high gear as 3.73s is for the pansy ass people who do not like exhaust drone or fear losing a mpg.
HUTCH: Read man, its a 20 roll

I Think You Will Be Alright From A Roll You Have A Six Speed And He Is Auto So You Should Jump On Him Pretty Good
Here Is My Reasoning My Buddy Has A 97 Lti ,from A Roll I Jump On Him A Couple Of Cars With My M6 But I Cannot Beat Him From A Stop Because Of His Auto We All Know Its Pretty Hard To Launch An M6
I Know My Car Loves A 20 -30 Mph Roll Start Or Maybe That Just Me Gotta Love That Torque

Haha Hutch... Funny Shizzle...
Race him for 50... This is just like a poker game... If your confident enough to bet, BET!!!
You walk up not caring about the money, throw the 50 at him like its nothing, hardly talk to him, he is gonna wonder why you are confident and that could mess with his head AND effect his driving...
In the end, if he wins, you can still tell him he is a pansy for not driving stick!... HAHA-Nick
