first time to track..best of 13.77
first time to track..best of 13.77 i went to the track for the first time this sunday..my first run was pretty bad I bogged off the line badly the only good thing about the run was that i still beat the SRT-4 that was lined up with me 
60'- 2.5
1/8- 9.448
1/4- 14.229
mph- 103.05
the second run was my best of the day. I launched a lil bit better but still bogged some
60'- 2.268
1/8- 9.046
1/4- 13.77
mph- 104.16
my final run was horrible..i bogged horribly and in fact i threw the timeslip away because i was pissed off so i cant right down exactly what it was but lets just say it was much worse then the first run.
Overall i learned that the launch determines the race...afterall my e.t. improved by half a second with just a lil bit of a better launch. So do any of you have any advice for launching an M6? Also with a goodlaunch what should i expect to run with my mods? I am guessing that i can at least run a 13.4 or 13.3

I just came back from my first time at the track. I ran a 13.67 at 102. My car is stock with SLP options and its a 6 speed. It would have been better but i just couldn't hook on my street tires was getting 2.1 six foots then when i would shift into second it would just spin.

That was my lowest MPH too. The rest of them were 104s and 103s, it seems like whenever my 60 foots sucked my mph would be higher but when my 60s were good they would be lower. That was my best 60 the rest were all 2.3 so i guess its time for some m/t et streets.

Verdad Gallardo thats weird my car is the other way around..when my 60' improves so does my mph...i would get some et streets but i dont want to end up braking my stock rearend..i have a friend who broke his with only boltons and drag radials..M6's are known for broken rears
i think good wide tires shuld do the trick. not maybe drag radials just normal ones. my buddy's stock LT1 A4 convertible left a 98SS camaro behind in the start just cus he had 275 pirelli's but the other guy was using stock width 245. also if you can shift quickly it makes loads of differance
hey i am a guy with a stock a4 35th vert and i got 13.31@ 104 bone stock with the 345hp option. a six speed just takes practice and did you weigh your car? also i got a 1.99 60ft so drop your 60's and you will see a huge gain Good luck

Yea I need to work on my 60 foots. I allready have 275, my car came stock with the 275 ZR1s. I have Kumho ECSTA Supra that were on the car when I got it.My next street tire is going to be Nittos. A4s are alot easy to get to hook then the 6 speeds there was a 99 A4 t/a vert running 13.4s stock if I could get like a 1.9 six foot I think I could be in the low 13s.
My friend took his '99 vert T/A to 13.6 @105 on street tires with a 2.0 60' but its an A4. just go to a empty parking lot or something and practice launching... thats what we did before we went to the track. we found out that 1500 brake torque was perfect, wouldent spin the tires to badily and 2000 was just to much. if you could pull a 1.9-2.0 60' i think you could see a 13.1 or lower if you power shift all the gears niceily
13.4 with a 2.0 60 ft A4 with 2.73's
Work on 60 ft times and your 1/4 times will follow. You are on the right path. Look into reloction brackets. they can bring as much as 2 tenths and for only $100 or so.. I think thats next for me..after the 305 3018 555 dr of coasre.....

relocation brackets??? what exactly are these?? I have heard people mention them before..as of right now i am looking into buying sfc's and a parnhard rod to go with the lca's i have sitting in my garage..hopefully all that will improve my 60'
They are designed to give you better traction by moving the lca down or up, which ever is the way you look at them.. I made some today take a look https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/416733-make-your-own-relocation-brackets.html But you can buy them for about $75 or so. I just wanted to see if I can do it or not.
