LOL...I've launched twice and in my mind I can't seem to lie to myself enough to think that it's okay for the longevity of the drivetrain.
I have unlimited launches and I think rpm is upped to 4K. I guess I will but it'll be from outside the car so you get the perspective of how fast it looks.
zeta...yeah, I wasn't sure if I should even post. It was a long drive to Mexico.

I have a 0 to unmentionable in sport mode this morning that is a lot less boring to watch but I ain't posting that.
Yesterday was hot out still and I was kinda trying to capture the exhaust sounds in sport mode too.
Maybe I'll upload and delete.

For a Stage 1 tune on a near bone stock S4, that shit moves.

I don't think you can ask for much more out of a car ..

I hit 141 this morning in a 45.. quasi send.
There was a bunch school buses up ahead

Plus a grandma and puppy convention crossing the road a half mile up.
Don't want to get too nuts. Neighborhood streets and all.

Swede has been gone for about a month or two...sold it for what I paid for it. A couple flew into FLL
from Pensacola, drove me to the bank to deposit check where my Momma picked me up and we did
Mother's day lunch. Worked out beautifully!

Bro, speed limit warning can be set to whatever you want, but it used to be at 100...I'm like, fuck, this is
annoying. I tried turning it off and it seems like it ignored me so I did 1 fiddy...

remember when I text you and told you damn bro, let off at 154, still had a ton of room and you were like
dude, your limiter is 155

Morgan, I'm a fuckin moron at times...when I did that last high speed pass it dawned on me after that I had
2 sidewall plugs and 2 bubbles on the rear tires...at that speed, prolly dead. In reality I should have waited
until after that cross intersection where the white car darted across because if someone had run that stop sign
we both would be cooked. It's scary how tame and smooth this car is at speed...literally no effort one handing
and recording and STILL signaling my intent to change lanes (that's how you know I can't own a BMW @ttribe )

I'm like, a guy with these kind of dumbass stories my entire life and you think I'm going out like a basic bitch?!?!

Okay.. I'm sure you said it many times, but that's where I remember it last.
Like they're haggling and deal almost done.
Nice, one less payment

Lies!

Don't lie..
The fact that speedo doesn't go to 200 bugs you

Or..
It didn't bug you then, but totally bugs you now.
You're welcome.

I ain't go no payments!
okay, well...I have a small loan on the Audi that I could pay
off with the sale of the Volvo but payments are small, it builds
credit and fuckin yolo bihhhhhh!

yeah, ole boy wanted to negotiate...stretch was 19K, good with 17K
real number bottom line fk it I'll keep it was 15K which was what I paid
for it retail ripped off at offleaseonly (wouldn't buy there again, I don't think).
He met my fuck it bottom line number and I knew once I got the S4 I would
probably not want to force myself to drive the anemic feeling Volvo any more.

I think it would bother me more to have a speedo that goes to 200 and get my dick cut off at 155!
I don't know why this particular tuner doesn't remove the governor...

These are the guys...
so far, from what I've read...I trust them pretty implicitly. And I can transfer the tune to my manual if I go that route...or sell the tune to someone else
if I move on from the car.


I think GTR let off because he got sketchy

this is all factual, what you say.
supposedly they will have a revision in the future to remove it.
they already went from leaving the launch control number alone to making it unlimited.
I just really like the friction material between my gears staying intact, especially first.
I don't want to kill my pricey ass tranny over a parlor trick.

Your speedos only go to 200?

People in the Journey and Lexus must have been super confused seeing that car stop then zip past.

Does the S4 not have a wet clutch DSG? If yes, you're not going to kill the trans by launching it within reason. Heat is what causes excess wear and the wet clutch is (obvs) liquid cooled to prevent wear. Porsche launched their wet clutch 991 Turbo something like 200 times in a row and didn't see any clutch wear.

Your base ass Golf doesn't even have a real speedo, it has a screen.

Volume knob can be fixed with a sticker.
