Not able to beat 2010 Audi S4 ?
So today me and my friend decided to have little fun right around the block near my house. I have a 2009 ISF with everything stock (Just bought it last week 
) and my friend drives a 2010 Audi S4 with upgraded chip and STaSIS exhaust setup. (claims to have about 400 HP)
We both stop at the red light and waiting for the green light to take off. I turn on the sports mode so does he. When we took off, his car was ahead of me about half of my car. I couldn't believe it, i thought ISF is way much faster than S4 ? is it because S4 is AWD to make a big difference? Should I turn off traction control and use manual shifter next time?
I still thinking its gonna be the driver's problem (which is me...) any advise ?

I dont know what it could be but me and my friend did a few friendly runs and I had the Sport Button OFF and I was playing with him.. Heres the video. was driving in manual
He did have the sport button on and he had an intake with an exhaust I was completely stock then.

Fact of the matter is...the Audi is AWD, more traction off the line. Also, depends on how fast you raced till because the IS F does have a faster 0 to 60...both cars weigh pretty much the same...but his max torque kicks in at a lower RPM. Either way...you should have won...
In this situtation...blame yourself...the driver...not the car.
full manual + sport mode + learn to drive = you'll beat the S4

Leave trac on at all times because this beast does need to be leashed (atleast for me) Just have it in Sport mode and Manual and know exactly when to shift.. My first run I shifted at slightly earlier RPM that's why he gained on me for few seconds.
Lexsane: this was by the Clock Turnaround at Jones Beach.. This wasn't planned it just happened so..

become one with the engine..breath in during upshifts and breath out during down shifts. visualize the win before it happens.. haha.. or just switch cars and see if it really is you or not.. the s4 with a chip and stasis is no joke.

Don't beat yourself up. If you haven't got a lot of seat time in high powered cars, it's a steep learning curve to get the car off the line efficiently. You'll figure it out and surprise your friend when you do.

BTW...be safe...and first and fore most...don't hurt the car...jk...don't hurt yourself or others. Take it easy.
I remember the first day I drove my IS F home...man...I babied the hell out of it. I went form a 270hp Acura TL to this beast...I'll never forget that night.

^^^ Actually, for now or the next race, don't do any bolt-ons to your car or tell your friend you have a full tank of gas, you got a bunch of bricks from home depot in your trunk that you forgot to take out for your back yard project. Then be liberal about how much hps he has. If he says 400 hps with the mods, get him to inflate that number.....
BECAUSE once you spank him next time, it would be even better!!! You'll be like, "Dude, I had like 500 lbs of bricks in my car, all stock IS-F vs you with at least 500 hps in your heavily modified S4, and I spank yo **** boy!!!!!"
I don't care if he has 400 hps, you IS-F should have spanked him. Most of the time, people inflate their hps anyways, especially if they didn't dyon their cars after mods. Leave traction control on, and turn on sports mode. I recommend you leaving it on auto, and just smash that pedal baby! And if you loose somehow...
Being in auto mode will be your excuse to do another run, if you loose, but this time in manual mode. Leaving it in auto mode reduces driver error b/c all you have to do is smash it baby!
