Funny, my car still had warranty work done even after those mods.
I'd hope an A8 on a tire would be quicker lol. My 3rd pass EVER on a track and it wasn't that much of a difference... I am not saying I am not impressed, but the 6gen should be faster than my 6 year old car with light mods. I honestly wish I woulda went FBO on my car rather than the turbo setup. I really think I could have had some impressive kills seeing as how it ran with what little mods it had.

I beat a tune and tire a6 5.0 same night same track his best pass by .5 and 3.5 mph.
I guess that's not impressive. It was my first time out too. I hadn't even had the car a full week.
Ill give you some 11.7s this weekend

I don't think it's near as hard to launch that car compared to a stick car... I'm not knocking your times.

I trapped 96. 7.69 was my quickest ET with a **** 1.79 60'. I can't 60' this car at all with the suspension it has, it honestly is doing more bad than good. Anytime I get any sort of ballsy on a launch, it smacks the bumpstops and kills momentum.

See this is where idgaf be it 6g, 5g, br0 etc. I don't get all the hoopla on track times hence why I bought a manual vs an A8. I only care about the w bc I am a roll king. **** breaking axles, getting drag packs, being more less a roll racer 1/4 mile times mean zilch to me

The other side of that is you never really know how your car performs. You don't have to have a drag pak to go run. It is helpful.....i didn't even put a dr on my car till it went 11.5. The down side of that is it left et on the table.....the upside is that it was very capable of running with cars on the street that put in faster et at the track. Using the track as a tool will make you faster.
For example.....phils 1le. He went 12.5 @115 after running poppa which was after he did some tuning. Poppa went 11.8 @117. Before the tuning phils car woulda been lucky to go 12.6 or 12.7 at 113. But somehow ran with a significantly faster car. Now after tinkering a bit more phil went 12.4@ 115 in worse air by about 1500da. All on oe tires.
If you do decide to go to the track concentrate on your own car and improving yourself. It will always be beneficial then.

I would like to see Phil on a drag pack. Last year was my first and last time running on all seasons. Almost unsafe really.

I went to the track like 3x before tbh. Just wasn't my thing but yes I can see where it can improve my skills. It's just so fast vs the adrenaline of a roll race to 120 or 155 or whatever.
