Default First 1/4 mile run in my C5...input please!

2000 A4/2.73 - Mods in profile...350/360 whp/wtq

1/4 = 12.80 @ 110.1
1000ft =10.80
1/8 = 8.4 @ 88.8
330ft = 5.60
60ft = 2.15

0-60mph = 4.30
0-100mph = 9.99
0-110mph = 12.55

Elevation 1028ft per GPS

These times are from a Gtech.

Experts...please weigh in:

1.) Why is my 0-110mph 12.55 and 1/4mi different by .25?
2.) What does the elevation cost me, about a tenth?
3.) Does running the car with top off cause extra drag and affect time?
4.) Does she have more in her?

This was pretty fun...wish I could do more!

Thanks!

1) G-techs are not 100% accurate, more of a guess and just a baseline when changing mods.
2) dragtimes.com has a calculator for elevation/DA/weather conditions, and your quarter et/mph.. it will give you a "corrected" time
3) top off is extra drag, yes
4) more in it with gears and a stall, no doubt.

Oh, and you do not have a working sig, so no mods are listed.

1.) Gtech FTL
2.) Elevation is a pretty big factor when it comes to anything with cars.
Probably a tenth to two tenths.
3.) Running with the top off probably has more drag, but I could be wrong.
4.) If you get the 60ft down, she will be faster

He said Gtech for the lose.. meaning they are not very accurate.
