Your times at the track will be slower because of the use of street tires. I don't remember which tires you are going to used, but I would recommend Nittos or equal to get the most traction and speed for the sixty foot. Some of the mods on the car appear to be very good. If your car is running good and with the tires you plan to run--I will venture a wild guess of 12.15 to 12.40 range. Maybe in the perfect weather, your times may be faster. Don't hold me to this, but IMHO, your tires are holding you back. Good luck with track runs. Cheers. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I know with the skinnies upfront your ET will come down around a tenth or so. If your tires are not street tires, but a drag radial type. Then YES--Your car will run in the elevens. I have run many elevens on 17 inch tires on front and back--generally in the 11.83 to 11.89 range. With the skinnies and Nittos--my best was a 11.72. I hope this helps. Anymore questions--just asked.

I must add that my car is a A4, not a M6. I really believe your car will run in the eleven's with fast shifting. I am not a fast shifter--that is why I have an automatic. You must get the sixty foot down as much as possible to run a good solid eleven. Cars at the local track I go to run 12.40 with only minor mods for a 6 spd. With the good stuff you have, your car again should run an eleven. As a general rule, the automatics at our track seem to jump the 6spd off the line and the 6 spd catches auto at the end of the track. But with a H/C, the odds are in your favor of an eleven and a fast time. Good luck.
