  • I had a run in with an Audi R8 tonight...

    It was the white one with grey panels. I'm not sure if that is Blair's dad's, or the other one in town. I'll copy and paste the story from another forum.
    I Had a run in with a new Audi R8 tonight....anti-street racers, press the back button now...
    I had a friend and fellow car enthusiast come into town tonight and he wanted to go for a spin in the S and see what it was like. A little about the car:
    VAST stage 3
    -K04's
    -Milltek 3" rear muffler delete
    -piggies
    -full weight (including spare, tools, my gym bag, and my 210lbs passenger)

    So we were cruising around downtown and all of a sudden I spot a new white and grey R8 drive by in front of us as we sat at a red light. I quickly made a right hand turn and caught up with the guy. As luck would have it, nobody else was on the road and we pulled up to a red light. The guy rolls down his window and I roll down mine, "you wanna rock it?" he asks. He looks to be about 30ish (must be a pro hockey player or something), and he had no passenger. "Hell yeah I do," I say. The perpendicular lights are going yellow, so I rev up to 4000 rpms and hold. Light goes green and we both launch hard. My wheels chirp and I take off. He got maybe 1/5 car on me right off the get go with all that low end torque, but as soon as my turbos spooled I pulled a quick 3 car lengths on him by the end of 2nd gear. The next light was red, so I shut it down. The guy took off without saying anything and must have been going like 130 mph as he sped away. I can imagine he was a little pissed

    That is all.

        Sounds like the 28 y/o dude who got the first R8 in Western Canada. I think he owns a Bentley and a Maser, too.

        Nice kill, btw.

              Sweet story, was for sure not my Dad or his car, just the other always seen white R8 (need carbon blades to distinguish) but I am not surprised you beat it I am pretty sure most of those Stage 3s are putting out more than 420hp.

                    i think in a straight line a stage 2+ could almost take an R8.. don't know that for sure hahaha

                    a stage 3 will eat an R8 or B7 RS4 for lunch no problem .. an R8 in the twisties is another story tho

                    jordan was he asian? he lives in makenzie.. a guy i work with knows his family they are RICH as ****.. the guy had a aston martin before the R8..

                        Yeah, but the R8 has a curb weight of just over 3400 lbs, my car is 400 lbs heavier not including my 210lbs passenger. So I really have over 600 lbs more than this guy. I would have thought he'd be able to hold up a little better than that...

                          Yup, slick as sh**

                          I got the rebuild done in 22 hours, including tranny pull and re-install.

                            the R8 is a good bit lighter than the RS4, so it's a totally different animal IMO.

                            He didn't seem asian to me. He did have a little darker skin tone, but didn't have the facial structure of an asian guy. I didn't really stare at his face too long. I was watching the light.
