Thumbs down First time out in cam only TA with Nascar gears

Well this was my first pass on the track since the car was stock. Used to be an A4 but now is an M6 and still has 3.23 gears . I like them for the interstate pulls though.

Anyways here is the slip which is kinda depressing.

60' 2.287
594' 8.196
1/8 8.71 @ 87.04

Just so you know 1st gear runs around 55mph and I can just about finish the 1/8 in 2nd but hit the rev limiter about 30-50' before the finish. I launched around 2500 or so and it took forever to get going lol.

Only made one pass for the night, a ZX14 pulled a wheelie and came crashing down and broke the oil pan. So scattered oil all the way down the track.

1st gear takes awhile to get going. 4.10's going in soon. She better trap 92 or 93na.

Nascar gear mean i'm finishing the 1/8 in 2nd gear. Almost need somebody pushing to get my car to move in 1st lol.

I dont know who told you to get 3.23s but you really need a car that makes a TON of power to make them work. Well into the 4 digit range.

I just swapped from an A4 to an M6, thats the reason for the 3.23's. I just went to the track to really drive my dads car but went ahead and played a lil in mine.

4.10's will be ordered tomorrow, i'm not dealing with thi slow crap anymore lol. Hoping to be in the 90's next time out.
