I'm going along with it, he is excited so I do the polite conversation bit... congrats, sounds good, they handle well, etc etc...
He then tells me it would "Leave your Taurus in the dust!" then goes on about how he knows I go to the track, which tracks I go to..to call him next time I go so he can show me how fast these Audi's are...
I am like..Hold the damn phone... wait what huh?
So I politely tell him it would probably be a good race, who knows...trying to deflect... He is my neighbor, usually a nice guy.. not trying to stir the pot further...
He himhaws about "there is no way"... so I tell him to park his German car and let me take him for a ride...
Needless to say.... his posturing about going to the track to show me how much faster his Audi is quickly dissipated...
The resulting "Holy Sh!t!" that expelled from his mouth when I punched it was worth the gas for sure...
You did him a big favor , saving of the embarrassment at the track and his own gas money. His car maybe on a good day would be a mid 13 second car unless there's some serious work done LOL
you should have had him on the hook for a case of beer and found a long deserted road..... make sure your trunk was empty before the race. This gives you plenty of room to haul his ego home.
Ha! Not gonna lie.. the thought crossed my mind.. but I have to make nice with people around me..
