Where you at? Quantico? Belvoir?

 

oooo that really sucks, yea where are you? does that include camera phones?

 

Most likely. Some places on the bases don't even allow cell phones.

 

damn, is there anyway to get a picture of his car, after you guys leave?

 

I'm technically out of Quantico, but I work up in the middle of DC. Can't get into any more detail than that.

If I see it someplace outside of work, sure, lol. I haven't ever seen him outside of work.

 

**** you pass me every day then. I am right off 395 at Seminary Rd. That is if you are in Fredericksburg.

 

not to look like a stalker or anything.....but you could always leave at the same time, and once u leave the area just get behind and to the side and take a pic. that might look a little weird though haha.

 

It's hard to explain. We don't work together every day. He just happens to be at my facility today instead of down at Quantico like normal.

Stouffer: My apartment is down south in Fredericksburg, I take 95/495/295 to work, and 395/95 home.

 

Should stop by someday and check out the cars.

 

You couldn't have asked a more ambiguous question.

 

Why do you say that?

 

more details on the car then...

single outlet exhaust? dual tip ? factory or after market?
4 door / 2 door / 3 door hatch?
rim size?
look inside the rims at the brakes...are they big?

also look in the car....
the factory gauges, what's the speedo go up to?
boost gauge?
beefy factory leather wrapped steering wheel?
"S" badging inside?
5 speed / 6 speed / tiptronic?

all helpful clues to figuring out what model it is

 

Considering you can see the thing from the windows, I was trying not to be too conspicous. From what I saw...
Single exhaust, dual tip on the left side
4 doors
I'd say 16" rims, fairly small disc's all 4 ways
couldn't tell speedo limit, didn't see a boost gauge unless it's somewhere sneaky
5 speed car

 

jetta?

 

96.7% sure it's some sort of Audi

 

my guess is that the small discs say it's NOT an S4....
you're looking at an Audi A4.... I don't recall which exhaust tips came on the 4 cyl vs the V6
anybody out there remember that ?????

depending on the year... you'd only have to worry if it was a turbo model, as the NA 4 cyl's anf V6's were both dogs (especially w/ the quattro pkg which added a bunch of weight and parasitic loss)

I say race him and you should win

well if it's not an Audi.... it could damn near be anything

 

he said there was a 2.3 quattro thing on it. That means its not an A4. but it could still be a audi.

 

I'll try to clear some trouble I'm seeing here.

You SURE its a 2.3 and not 2.8? If it is in fact a 2.8 you should be ok, they are slow unless it's supercharged(pes g2 kit makes almost 300 hp).

If its an a4 1.8t with k04 a stage 2 ss can take it, however with a gt28rs and above(which MANY are using now as k04s are basically worthless) itd be a very hard fight.

You can tell its an s4 from an a4 through a few things
1. Bumper
2. Painted lower valences on the s4
3. Plain looking grill on a4
4. Possible chrome/brushed aluminum side mirror caps
5. When looking at the front bumper you'd see the shrouds for the dual side mount intercoolers, a4's have only one on the passenger side I believe.

Stage 1(just chip) s4 CAN lose to a strongly modded ss.
Stage 2+ not so much.
stage 3....ill let the video explain.

Btw APR is the worst chip you can get, very conservative and their numbers are all wrong.

and another

I wont say APR is the worst chip... its not as powerful as a REVO or GIAC + but it is smoother power. the revo if you go and play with the settings on SPS. u can made huge numbers and i mean huge. a friend of mine has every bolt on for his 2.0t gti and had his revo then tuned on a dyno and made 271 whp and 326 wtq.

 

now that makes total sense..... I bet it is the 2.8
