Default Some more quick ??'s

I was wondering... can you guys give me an estimate on my 2000 A4 Trans Am non ws6 3.23's w/ 28K on the clock... what do you think the car will run in the 1/4 with a good driver and traction? just a good guess... also, about what do your stock 00 cars do 0-60 time?
I know dumb questions, but just would like to know.

thanks

Stock A4 in "average" weather should be capable of mid 13s no problem.

0-60 = who cares. Thats a magazine thing

Your T/A should weigh around 3500 lbs stock

seadoo,

I run my T/A against my buddies 69 Mach 1 all the time on a 1/8 track.My car is two tenths faster than his in the 1/8th and his best time in the 1/4 mi. is 13.5

I don't have a roll bar yet so i'm racing on a 1/8th.I'm beating cars that turn in the mid 13s(1/4) with no problem i figure i must be in the low 13s with a 3800 lb car.

My 99 T/A went 13.9 @101 bone stock, with none of the free mods and 2.73 gears. I'm in florida and it was in February, so air temp was in the 70s, and humidity is pretty bad here. Also, I'm a hefty guy (250 pounds). And I only torqued it up to about 900 RPM when I launched. Needless to say, you should do quite a bit better.

thanks... I have a feeling it should run well when I take it to the track... with 3 people in the car the other night, I still broke the tires loose with getting on it hard from 30, and chirped second. I live in central florida, so I know how it is here.
