No chance...You will have to use drag radials...Actually if your an A4 you will need at least full bolt-ons, stall, and drag radials. Some have hit high 11's with that some need a cam. M6 are basically the same minus the stall...You almost always need a cam to hit 11's... But with no spray and no tires = no chance.

NO, I run 12.00 with mods in sig. It'll take a factory freak, 50 mph tailwind, and a hell of a driver to pull that off. but, this is the internet, so I am sure 5 people will post behind me saying its easily doable... Good luck.

Possibly, if you gut the **** out of the car. I'm talking 3200 lbs with driver.

Just do the cam, it's not that big of a deal since you're willing to do the rest of the bolt-ons.

Well my buddie Joe on this site has a 01 SS A4. Yank stall, headers, ORY, factory CME catback, LS6 intake, Ported TB, lid, some suspension work, and slicks and skinnies. Stock 10 bolt with 3.23 gears and he has gone 11.89. But the track down here is nearly at sea level. That and it was a 50 degree night out.

Is it possible? Yes, if you are willing to take a lot of weight out of the car.
Is it likely? No
