Default Times on road surface

What kind of times would I probably be able to get with a stock A4 Camaro -98 on a track with surface conditions as an ordinary road? Like when you do some illegal racing late at night

Would a pair of nittos 255-50-16 get me better traction?

You might end up in traction at the hospital. Do yourself and everyone else around you a big favor, keep the racing at the race track. As for the nittos, they may help a bit on a road surface, not quite sure how they'd do in the rain though.

You see, we donīt have any tracks that are open for public, like "testīn tune", here in Sweden... And now the government want to close the only track we have and build apartments there instead.

Thatīs why we have to race in the streets, but under very controlled forms...

I'm very sorry to hear that. And to think that I complain about that lack of tracks in Southern California. Be safe out there.
