Default Went to the track

Finally got to take my car to the track. Thing is basically stock with just a CAI and a bit of weight reduction. No airbags, or back seats/seatbelts and no tire and jack. Car went 13.9 @102 with a shitty 2.3 60'.

Not bad dude, you've got a lot left if you can bring that 60' time down. I went 13.69 @ 102.5 with just a CAI in my heavy vert, I would think you've got that or more in there, your MPH is certainly strong. M6 right?

A4 hardtop. This was also my first time ever running anything down the track. Watched people a lot but never had anything to run myself so it should drop pretty good once i get more experience.

That's not bad at all! Solid mid 13 second car if you get the 60' down.

Yea, A4 you should be able to cut some good 60' consistently with a little practice. Whats the rear gear - if it's a 2.73 you've got a great next mod right there, and would really leave nice then. Thats some great MPH given your mods, especially through the A4.

I would think you might be able to squeeze of a 2.0 on a well prepped track as you are. Maybe run in down to a 13.5. Then do you exhaust a converter and you'll have a few more tenths if you can run 1.8's.

You will be in the 12s with the stall and good tires it will pick up a good bit.

Like seeing these quick near stock lt1s. Shows what well maintained cars can do. I just hope to be in the low thirteens and would be ecstatic with 12s.

When it's free, you don't really complain about it to much.

I'm gonna rebuild the motor this winter anyway. Heads/cam, and maybe go forged bottom end. So I'll just do a bigger stall then. Just trying to hit 12's with a bolt on only car.

As for the 1/8 mile time, it is 8.6 @ 83.

Got it to run a bit quicker. I think that is about as fast as it will go without anymore mods. Thursday night i went 13.18 @ 105.95 with a 2.01 sixty foot. Mods still the same as sig.
