My mother has a 2004 C5, it is an automatic and the car will consistently burn tire through second gear shift, and chirp third in the right road/weather conditions...as for the Z28 I own, it chirps second gear everytime I go WOT and will sometimes get a little sideways in the right road/weather conditions...so I would say it is perfectly normal

A bone stock GT A4 might spin the tires from a dead stop on a good night...in a puddle.

My friend had an old 96 9C1 Caprice with some crappy, half worn kelly all season tires(stock size). When he got the tranny rebuilt with a 3500rpm stall converter, along with a 3.73 rear gear
We completely ruined that set of tires in one night. We managed to smoke them all the way down the block in front of his house from a dead stop. I'm talking a cloud of smoke that engulfed a whole house. Luckily nobody raced us, we would have got our *** handed to us since we couldn't hook until 40mph.

I for one, haven't been in a stock A4 that will bark summer 275's on every WOT 1-2.
If you have only 245's your chances are better. If you have loud tires (all seasons or squealers in general) then your chances are better.
If you're 1-2 shift is firm enough to get a shift kit style part throttle bark, then something is wrong. Or your car has a shift kit or programming that you are unaware of.
But if my supposed 100% stocker was barking the 1-2, I'd be looking into why.
Not saying it's not possible, just not likely with a stock A4 in OEM condition.

I have never barkerd the tires on a normal WOT 1-2. I have 2.73 and 245 tires. I can bark them from 30-37 mph if I stomp on it, go sideways if the tires are even a little damp and TCS is off. This is the speed at which I show my car off to my friends on their first ride in the car. My one friend has a Honda Prelude VTEC and thinks its hot ****. Got him in the car and accelerated at what I thought was slow and normal to about 35 and he's all, "mmmmmm I like how it just pulls you!!" I said, "that???? that's nothing" and then stomped on it and he goes " WHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHH" I just looked over and said "Your VTEC can't do that im guessing?"

When I had my 94 Z28 A4 3.23 gears I kept it in all stock form the entire time I owned it, and every WOT 1-2 shift would kick the back end out. Never a squak or bark from the tires like the quick chirp you get from a shift kit, just the back end kicking out, and on a rare occasion in the right circumstances could get a little chirp going into 3rd.

Its great fun, isnt it. When I was all stock, it would chirp the 1-2 shift at WOT from a roll or stop. Now with my bolt-ons it does a pretty good squak (sp?) for 1-2 seconds. Ive had quite a few people compliment me how I can nail gears in my m6 lol.

all i got is a lid, filter, trans cooler and cutout.
