Default My first run in the 02SS, Comments and or ideas to improve PLEASE

Went to Norwalk last night and ran the SS for the first time. I have a A4 that is bone stock. My first run was 13.47 @ 103mph and the second one was 13.42 @ 104. I know those aren't great numbers but what do you guys think? My 60ft time sucked. They both were 2.02. My reaction time was pretty good but traction overall was terrible.

For a stock A4 I think 13.4 is pretty respectable! That equates to roughly a 8.54 1/8 th time, which is almost 2 tenths faster than my 2.73 geared '01 Z. The sixty foot was about right for a stock unstalled auto on street tires. Overall I say good runs!

Yeah those times are about dead on for a stock car on stock tires.

I went to the track last night for the first time. I own a 2002 Camaro SS M6 with a SLP lid, magnaflow muffller and shorty short stick. First pass I ran 14.0 at 102mphw with a 2.3 60ft. Second pass I ran 13.7 at 102 with a 2.1 60ft. I know thats slow compared to most of you guys. I had an awesome time and can't wait to go again. Hopefully I learn how to drive better and get into the low 13's.

Thanks guys for the response! The feedback is what I was looking for. I think if I get some DR's the time will improve. At least I hope so. Thanks again. Jeff

Good runs! It takes some practice, but you'll get there! My best times when my car was stock was 13.43 when my car had 2.73 gears.

I agree those are great times for a stock A4 with street tires. If the car has 3.23 gears, don't look for a ton of improvement with drag radials.

I'd say it's time for the mods to begin!

Bad traction at Norwalk.....yeah right. Please come to Dragway 42 and experience real bad traction. I think your times are right on.
