Cliffs Notes: Heavily Modded S4 pulls on a BMW 135i, neck n neck with my GTO: Then takes out a RS4 that tried to stand up for him against me...
In Seattle, the ubiquitious Audi S4 2.0T & 3.0T are a dime a dozen: must pass 30+ on the freeway every day. So when a BMW 135i cruises up in the fast lane and then matches my speed, I get really annoyed when the innocuous little silver 3.0T Audi that was following me jumps over between us: blocking me in temporarily. I can't see the Audi driver, but I do see the head nod of the BMW driver a split second before brown smoke shoots out his exhaust as he nails it! He jumps a fender, maybe: and thats all he gets as the S-4 amazingly reels him in and puts nearly a car on him up to maybe 100mph then brakes for traffic. The 135i drops into the slow lane and steps out of the ring.
I soon get abreast of the S-4, making eye contact and then pointing at his engine bay and shaking my head dissapprovingly, eliciting a hardy laugh outta the 20 'sumthing white guy driving it. We do a run: 60-120ish and we were neck and neck, trading inches at each gear shift! I love that shit!!
We slowed as a result of a handful of cars ahead, one of which turns out to be a RS-4. I know those things are supposed to be roughly equivelant to a stock '05 GTO, so I'm not worried, just curious as he follows us to the head of the pack with another 1/4mile plus of clear road ahead. Instead of going 3 abreast (4 lanes plus a carpool lane in that area) he drops behind the S-4 in the left lane and flashes his lights a few times as if to say "Let me take care of this guy for you brother".
S-4 guy and I make eye contact, SEG's on both our faces. I shake my head "No", and point at him then the RS4, then put my blinker on and move one more lane to the right. The 'RS' jumps into my spot and tries to fly by the 'S'... and fails! Both WOT & Door to door for a few seconds, then the 'S' starts his pull. There run seems to go on forever: I'm doing 100mph and they are fading from sight! The kill was epic: by what had to be a minimum of 160mph the 'S' had at least a dozen cars on the 'RS', who refused to give up his attempted show of Audi dominance until he hit his speed limiter I think.
Postcript: Never saw the S-4 again, but did catch up to the RS-4 driver a few miles later: Guy looked EXACTLY, 100%, like the actor Jack Coleman from the series Heroes, horned rim glasses, business suit, jackass attitude and all: typing on his laptop while talking on a blue tooth while driving in traffic. A true deutsch bag. I was going to give him a thumbs up for at least running until I saw that idiocy...
