Not to say that I beat him, cause I really didn't, but the other day, I did a lil race with my brother who has a 2002 VW Passat, with the auto-shift. On take-off, I did pretty well, like I was a lil ahead of him, and I stayed with him for a lil bit too! The P5 isn't THAT slow, it could keep up! I asked him if he was humoring me while he raced, and he said not really... that the Passat is really heavy and the power that it has goes into making it move.
It wasn't a kill or a win, but I still stayed with him (for a little)!!!
