Rep Power: 0 oh my god you don't have a chance. i've driven an audi A4 1.8T, basically same engine, and they don't even compare. i wouldn't waste your money.

Rep Power: 344 the time I have for the manual is high 15s... (15.8ish)
so expect times of around mid to high 16s with the auto? (I usually shave half a second to a second on for automatic counterparts..)
you have a chance if you know how to drive.

Rep Power: 0 I rode in my friends Audi A4 1.8T sedan 5spd and was not empressed at all. I read somewhere that we have the same horsepower to wieght ratio as the A4 but dont hold me to that. But then again you are talking about a VW so i dont know. Race him for the hell of it and dont bet on the race.
turbo!

Rep Power: 0 the sportshift is a little better than straight auto.
Dude up where we show off our cars has an auto S4, and he smokes the majority of ppl up there. An S2000 is even on his win list (I saw it)

Rep Power: 0 << Race without the money first and if you win tell him you wanna race for $$
>>I think this is not a good idea. If you race with him without the money he will not give you all what he got. Instead he'll intend to lose on purpose. To get your money. Once you agree that theres a money involve next thing you know he already smoke you and lose 100 bucks
