Talking First time at the track VERY pleased!

Car is in the sig. On my first run I ran a 13.37 @ 104mph with a 2.024 60ft. I was ecstatic that a basically stock car (lid only) with sucky 2.73 gears could run that. My best run was 13.349 @ 105.12mph with a 2.029 60ft. Note these times were all on street tires. It was about 77* in Memphis. What do you guys think?

the turd in sig went 13.24 @ 104 on a 2.11 60' last time out. last year its best was 13.4 @ 109. i'm guessing letting the car sit 4 months and making its first trip out this year pissed it off. it consistently trapped 108-109 in worse weather. i think it needs plugs and a fuel filter.

I'd be happy with that! First hit on my '00 3.23 geared Formula on stock street tires was 13.46 at 103.50 mph with a 2.06 60 foot. A few bolt-ons and some good air and you'll find the 12s!

A4's at the track aren't bad at all. Stalled, geared A4's are better but still not bad. Good times.

Good passes I think lt's and a tune should be first. I went 12.6 @ 110 with a 2.73 lid, and a tune.

Very nice times. I'd personally do the gears first unless gas mileage is a major concern of your (which it might be with current gas prices). If so, go with exhaust and then tune it when you get long tubes. 12s for sure on that car.
