With a 1.99 60' time 93mph in the 1/8 is probably a high 11 in the 1/4 with a 114-116mph. If you can get the 60' time down to the 1.6-1.7 range you might see mid 11's in the 1/4 mile.

93 in the 1/8th should be good for more like 120mph in the 1/4

11.9-11.8-11.7 ET in the quarter. I'd have to say mine went 91-92 in the 1/8th and ran 116-117 in the 1/4

93 mph in a 6 speed and 93 mph in a auto are 2 different things. A 6 speed should trap higher then an auto all things being equal.

yes and no.

its still somewhat relative. the 1/8th mph in the M6 should be higher than the A4's 1/8th mph, the 1/8th and the 1/4 will still be relative, especially if the A4 is locking up the converter.

if the A4 doesn't lock the 'verter then yeah there might be more of a disparity and the M6 will have bit more mph in the 1/4 than the A4 if both cars have the same 1/8th mph.

I run the 1/8th @ 92 mph around 7.90-8.05 range with 2.00 60's and cut 12.15-12.30 1/4ths at 118 mph.

Need better weather/traction and a better track.

Last time at the track I was 93 in the eighth and 118 1/4. I have an auto and do not lock it.

Well it's nice to see someone that knows what they are doing ran similar times at one point.

I thought 115 was a bit low for an 11.6

I figured my bottle pressure dropped off or something.That or my stock exhaust is choking me off badly. Either way most everyone traps higher than me w/comparable ET's.
