Unexplained pleasantries?

Whats up everyone. Just thought I'd send a late night post cause theres nothing else to do 'cept rest up for tomorow night. A few days ago my friend wanted to test out his G-tech pro RR, so my friend ran his stage 2 stratmosphere tuning B5 Audi S4 in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 a few times, this car was a beast pulls nearly a full g it seems on accelleration almost, anywho i ran my evo (3in TB, MBC, K&N drop in) and got nearly identical times to his but slightly slower (I also didn't want to murder my clutch) about 2 tenths of a second to be specific. So i figured at the time, "yeah of course, hes dropped ALOT of money into that car." Well my friend calls me back today and says he was reviewing the speed vs time graph and said that my car was at the least 4 mph faster than the Audi through the entire chart?! The main point i was trying to get at was that theres something about this car that has grabbed me by my ***** and made me its b*tch. I always loved this car way more than culturally acceptable, it just hooked me and i couldn't ever put a finger on it. Sorry for the lengthy post, but never have i ever felt so well justified spending 25k+ on something and probably never will. Call me dramatic for writing all this up but I'm sold completely that this car is one of the best machines ever made.

I think it works really well. The HP readings are lower than what you would get on a dyno, because of wind resistance, but I think it's a great tool for tuning and autox. I'm going to try and get some good 0-60 and 1/4 mile times this weekend when the weather is better.
