Default good or bad?

i have a 2002 z28 A4, when i took it to the track it was bone stock, had 18x10.5 zo6 wheels on it and a full system i ran 13.5@106 mph... is that good or bad bc when i bought it everyone was like man they run 13.0 stock....so i was upset of course but im thinking more like 13.2-13.3 stock? so are the wheels and system hurting me that bad, id say i could have got it down a lil more i had only had the car 3 days... and whats your opinion i will run with my mods now... slp longtubes,slp ORY pipe, no cats, slp mass air flow sensor, slp lid, k&n, flowmasters... thanks for your opinons

13.5 is respectable. 18's are costing you a bit, maybe a tenth, or maybe even 2.
If your car has 2.73 gear's though, I don't think 13.5 is all that bad.
How warm was it when you ran?
A hot day can really hurt your time's.

I agree, 13.5 at 106 mph isn't bad, but what was the 60 foot time? Rear gears? I'm sure there is more left in the car, and with the mods you have now (provided she's tuned and running right) 12s with a good hook should happen.

Good luck!

it was up in the 90 degreez when i went...60 ft times were 2.1 ... i havent tuned the car yet...but i raced it with bad o2 sensor and the cats was stopped up,,, after puttin in new o2s and took cats off i can tell a huge improvement... and the plugs never had been changed, put new plugs in last week seems to help a little so i think im high 12's/ low 13's now....still not fast
