Had a little race last night with my buddy in his Evo9, rated at around 350HP. Weight in the 1500kg region. He kicked my ass twice from zero to 180-200 km/h or so. Had about 1-2 car lengths on me at the end of the road and I felt I was starting to slowly gain on him. Weight is a real killer and a tuned Evo is sooo quick so watch out. Granted, these were my two first launches with the RS4. For the first one, I dumped the clutch at around 7K rpm and it slipped a lot so I lost time. The second launch was from around 4K rpm and I believe that was a bit low.

Anyway, here are the two vids:

Evo vs. RS4 1
Evo vs. RS4 2
