track preperations Im taking my stock '00 SS to the track tonight for the first time to get a base line #, are there any things i should do/know before going to the strip?
any guess as to what a stock 2000 SS A4 with 32,000 miles should run?

There are some good "pointers for first-timers"
out there, probably find a lot more useful stuff
of that sort in the Drag Racing section. On the
stock tires, you will really benefit from some
launch practice to minimize right tire lift and
wheelspin in general. I can tell you from my
very limited track experience that floor-it-and-
paddlewheel is not the best technique for the
60' time.

Stock with my 00 SS M6, I ran 13.5 @ 106. That was on a pretty crappy 2.2 60'. I guess it's just down to the driver.

well, were to start-- i just got back from the track >>>>14.001 @ 99.52 thats with a .546 reaction and 2.1 60' time (street tires). im happy with the time, all the other f-body guys at the track said it was right on par for an auto. i need to go up to dallas and run, i've heard of .3-.5 second drop in ET just runnin at a track in the dallas area. due to the change in altitude & climate.

Good point about the altitude and climate. What was the weather conditions when you were there? Temp, humidity, & barometer and what altitude? Smokemup.com has a nice conversion page that will convert you to some standard temp measurement. Higher altitude, humidity, and temp will slow you down. Higher Barometric pressure will speed ya up.
