Default What does your car run off the street?

Wondering what some of your cars with motor work run straight off the street? I'm talking about no adjustments at the track except for the rear tires. Racing the car in a condition you could drive it for 100 miles excluding slicks. Just curious. I'm really wanting to hear from you guys with full weight, sway bar on the car, stereo, etc, but if it's gutted specify. Anybody runnin low 11's with just heads/cam, bolt ons and tires? No skinnies or any other drag tricks. I'm wondering if that is a good goal to set once I do heads and cam. Car would be lowered a4, probably descent stall, system in the back, full weight, with some et streets. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

Sounds like someone is about to get busy. I too, am thinking about a heads/cam combo also.

Good to see you Sunday night Joe. Good luck with the Formula.

What, you mean people do stuff at the track to make their ET faster? I only care about what I run "straight off the street". 12.39 is as good as it gets right here with 405rwhp...on tires I daily drive, in a car that I autoX in, with whatever gas is in the tank (full tank, half tank,whatever) with a M6 and stock rear end. I do check my tire pressure to make sure its ok tho.

Wonder what my ride weighs <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

If I whored out my car and put an A4 in it I bet I'd be laughing at 12's and running 11.2 or some crap, but who the heck wants an A4 and a whored out car? NOT ME <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Plus I can honestly tell people I run 12.4 and then beat em on the street even if they run mid 11's. ET's mean jack squat off the track.
