help settle a discussion

Basically the discussion is, I say my car will easily make it into the 12's, don't care if it's a 12.99. My friend says not. This would be on drag radials, mods are in sig. Please state yes or no, whatever you think, you can even let me know what you have run with the same mods. The car has 70k on it and has no mechanical probs whatsoever.

Yes. It won't be easy but with perfect DA, perfect launch and a good strong run I can see it being possible. Oh and lose a little bit of weight.(i.e. spare&jack, back seats, etc.) There are guys on this forum who have gone 12's with less. Good luck.

I don't have the spare or jack, just a can of fix a flat =) Also on DR's I've never had any wheelspin on any street surface, and that is at normal 32psi or so.

It's an A4. And you're a lucky man if you took your car to K-town, VERY nice roads in that area.

It definitely won't be easy, but it's possible. I'll predict a 13.1-13.2.

FWIW, my wifes old 01' z28 (A4) hardtop w/ 3.42, lid, meter, and a cutout went 12.96@108 with a 2.13 60' in 80* ish weather. So I think with good weather you can make it.

there's two people on SVTP.com that says you don't even need those mods to hit 12s....at least going off of what they said yesterday. Hell, according to them, you'll run a 12.0.

LOL
