I was a bit suprised at the low turn out at Cecil. Even at private rentals I don't think I've managed to run that many.
13.43 @ 104.78 with a 2.1 60'. I think that was the only run I didn't spin the tires. Stock 99 A4 T/A w/ the original rubber. I didn't even bother to prep the car, street air pressure and spare. Label me suitably impressed.

This was my first trip to the track with the 6 speed. A little more seat time I could have done better. The 60ft was only a 2.050

my buddy with his 98 z with 123K miles on it and just a slp lid and loudmouth and some crappy *** street tires hit 12.8@110 over in bakersfield. Everybody hits good times over there. I had the same mods as he had, but an auto, and i have 13.0@ 108

first time i went to the track the car was bone stock and even on the 245/50R16 kumho's, it felt like i was trying to lounch it on soap, if i lounched above 2000rpm it just sat there doin a burnout, did at least four 14.0 sometthing runs, always on 101-104mph, and then finaly one 13.7 on 102mph, never got the 60f under 2.5 secs, so i guess both me and the car got a lot more to gife
Ok Ok im going to the track again next weekend. But the first time I went, I just got my car was running 87 oct. I ran a 14.1 at best on 87 oct, with no lid, and just my slp loudmouth. Now going back I am running 93, with a lid, and still my slp loudmouth. I know really embarassing but Im going with a couple of buddys and dont really want to feel like a tool when I run haha. If I pre load with all these fixed problems what you think my (a4) trans am could go? thxs....
