i find my mph to be strange becasue when i was on street tires 3 days before i got the nittos i was going 115-116 mph.
I dont understand how my et's went down while my mph went down too.

From what I have seen 6 speeds MPH higher with a little spin but A4's seem to MPH higher if they hook. My A4 goes 114-115 on 1.60 60's but only goes 113-114 spinning.

Confuses the hell outta me.

yeah i just dont understand how that works.

I think the track may have been fucked up because on one of my passes i went 12.47 at 97 mph. There is no way i would go 12.4 with only 97 mph.

Usually the better you hook the lower your MPH will be. Were you spinning your street tires more than the Nittos?

i was spinning the **** out of the street tires, but i just find it strange that the mph goes down while the et go down too.
Think about it, doesnt logic say that it should be the other way around, i think im missing somthing

12.3's on a 1.9 60 foot not bad. get that 60 down to mid 1.6's and you have a 11sec time slip. congrats.

maybe I can chime in a tad on this matter

lets see, M6's will MPH lower usually when they hook. Like STU said, but A4's MPH higher with traction. Ya'll make the mph after the 60's usually, but us A4's need a good 60 to make the MPH since we are all about hole shots.

on street tires cam only i went 12.01@113 with a 1.74
With nittos I went 11.78@114 cam only on a 1.65
with et streets I went 11.50@117 on a 1.56

you can see how my mph goes up when i hook better
