I was on my way home from work, and I turned on to nosehill (yes, it is a hill). Who do I see? My brother in his 04 zhp (h&r coils, c/s splitters, stock engine), he pulls up....big mistake too take on a V8, especially up a hill. He hits it, I hit it, I instantly put half a car length, 1 car, 2 car, 3 car...etc. We catch the light....I say "That thing gotta hemi? haha we laugh and wait for the light. Its green we go, I get tons of wheel spin due to my winters, so does he. I get the lead, 1 car lenght, 1.5 cars. He creeps up, because my car shifts slow. We head home...good kill :D

Then later tonight, I decimated my friends e36 320 :D . At least he tried. :stickoutt

Good race. I wish my brother would race me in his A4, but he's not the type to race.

BASTIGES!

OT: Is your touring lowered? Or maybe its just the way it is sitting.

Hey Marinakorp,

I always crack up when I see your sig. How you got less hp and same torque after getting the power chip. I just thought I'd let you know. It's pretty funny, BS, but funny.

Um.... because it was true... had the car dyno'd (the pic on my sig should revela that) and posted those numbers... facility had a weather station attachement, big fan, etc... and SAE corrected all numbers

the pre load was 264 hp (fairly consistent on all the pulls) and 300 tq
the post load was 262 at best (was somewhat consistent in the pulls) and 300 tq


not sure what you mean by BS?

yea... know what BS MEANS... just not what they were BSing ... that it did not make the same... not dyno the car... not sure of the source of the BS?


thanks for the clarification!

I mean no disrespect, but I'm curious: do Canadian ZHPs come with the full monty? (meaning shorter rear end and extra HP).

For some reason I thought they came with the M Technik Sport Package II, meaning any aero, trim, interior and suspension changes, but no engine change.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...
