Default Rolling at about 20 to ? and we had to stop because of traffic. That........

(blue with white stripes) GT was very loud when we got on it, it drowned out the RS. Not much to tell it didn't last very long. I was the one who started it. I am sure he gets messed with a lot and it took a little provoking on my part;-)

Default You need to do this from a dead stop......

That's where quattro will give you the advantage while the Mustang will be smoking the tires. All car mags report the RS4 to have a slightly quicker 0-60 time from a dead stop. Rolling is a different story....once that beast hooks up with traction, it'll beat you.

Default What gear and what RPM were you at when he "walked away"?...

because it's a little surprising to me. Did you run out of revs? The GT 500 is a powerful beast, but I wouldn't expect it to have a definitive advantage over the RS4. 0-60 and 1/4 mile speeds are damm close between the 2 of them.
