The GTOs 2nd gear is way too spead out. If you get stuck in 2nd gear around 35 mph (35mph roll on punch) the car crawls until it gets up to about 50mph before it starts pulling hard.

In comparison, a stock A6 Camaro pulls hard from a 35mph punch. It would be an embarrassing race for a stock A4 GTO to race a stock A6 Camaro from a 35 mph roll.

But from a 65mph punch, it would be a completely different race. The A4 is fast from that speed.
I beat this guy in a GTO with his girlfriend(guessing automatic from how it shifted, sounded and accelerated) in a quick 0-60 run(the speed limit was 40, err I mean we were at the drag strip), he had a loud exhaust sound on it but mine revs quicker and higher(8000 rpm), plus I have a 6-speed and the VQ35HR in my G35 has loads of low-mid range torque, with 90% available from 2500 rpm to 7500 rpm.... Dual ram air intake adds 3 horsepower @ 60 mph, so at that point I have about 315. Only have 245s in the rear but I still got the jump on him(he rolled for a second then floored it). But I beat him by 2-3 car lengths, Im sure if it was on the highway he wouldve EVENTUALLY won since Im limited to 155 mph.
