Dont know what was in the surburban but that thing was badd ***!!..........everyone was cheering for him, and some guy asked me "what happend?"as to mock my defeat, and i looked at him and said, " what happend?, he smoked the hell out of me, thats what happend"

Cool. You should change your post to read "loser" after the info of the second race.
I've never been to the track. I'm prolly gonna suck *** for a few runs this year.

He traped over 100!! what a beast.

That is kinda slow for an 02 in the first place. My stock 02 Z28 with only 500 miles on it ran 8.6s and its an A4. You must live up north somewhere or maybe you just need a lil more time at the track and she should run faster. The times in my sig are with the 500 miles on the car.

Yea, track experience is really low, in fact that was my first time on a track period............so would you say it was my reaction time that was the cause?..........also since you owned an A4 yourself, whats the best way to start the race bone stock?, i mean some ppl have told me to start in 2nd and shift up to Drive..............my car from what i could tell is in great condition, it only has 25k on it....................
Thanks for your input...............

I agree.
You cant shift better or faster then the pcm, so just let it shift itself.

Some say to hold the brake and rev the engine to about 2000rpm, the best way I have gotten the car off the line is to hold the RPMs at about 1200 and when the third yellow comes down put it to the floor and let off the brake at the same time, this will do what is called flash the converter you will get like a little bit of a stall not much but it helps, and if the track is prepped good you will see vary little wheel spin out of an A4. Just my .02
PS: also run the car in drive at the track not over drive, and NOT 2nd. The ones telling you to start off in 2nd do thay drive a Mustang, and if so thay are just trying to keep up with you!

get yourself a nice stall converter, and a good pair of slicks and launch that thing right. and let it shift itself!
