Re: Summer time ET's for H/C cars? On street tires in ~2350DA I went 12.40@118.98mph and 2.09 sixty. Hooking in third gear with the six speed.
With the old A4 in the car went 11.7@122.6mph with a 1.78 sixty in ~900DA
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Summer time ET's for H/C cars? What's considered a decent MPH in the heat? 116? 118? 125? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Summer time ET's for H/C cars? mostly stock weight, with 12 bolt, and no spare tire. With me in it and less than 1/8 tank gas (forgot to weigh in last time with 1/4 tank) the car was 3635. ET streets on 16" firebird rims, my car is right around 400rwhp (which is kinda lousy, yeah I know), my best times have been 12.1x@115.x, with 1.7x 60s. DAs of around 2400 at one track, 1800 at the slower track, amounted to around the same times.
As it gets cooler, you can expect to pick up some ET and MPH. I havent run my car the way it is yet in coller temps, but Im told a general rule is you can pick up 1 mph per 12 degrees cooler.
