Default starts out with a loss

not my race. Well i was cruising around with a friend of mine(nick). Nick owns an 04 srt 4 with intake, full exhaust, and running 18lbs of boost. We are getting back from our cruise, pulling into our dorm parking lot when aaudi 1.8t pulls up next to us as we are about to park and asks us if we would like to run him. Nicks say no but the guy doesnt give up, talking down how slow Nicks car is and how his audi will walk us. Finally nick agrees to do one run on a closed road. I ask the audi drive what he has done. He says he has "a chip, intake and exhaust". We get to the spot and line them up side by side. I yell on three and give the count. on 3 the audi gets a great launch to nicks piss poor launch, we start to pull him, then the blow off valve goes off as we hit second and start to pull hard on this guy. As Nick shifts to third.... he misses and lets out a wonderful ginding of his gear(ouch). The audi wins, nick was very dissapointed in his driving. Im still making fun of him lol.
that was the first time i was in his car at WOT, and wow i must say i love the sound of boost.
