Default What should a stock 98 z28 a4 run?
I'm just curious but what should a stock 98 a4 z28 run in the 1/4 assuming the track is good and the air is decent?

Many factors involved but if the engine, trans and suspension are still in good shape then I would say around 13.5-13.7.

What gears do you have? If you have 3.23s I wouldn't be surprised if the car went 13.2 -13.3 in decent air.

Well ya I'm not gonna argue that with anyone. And no the gt isn't stock it's just full bolt-ons and a messed up cylinder lol.
I guess the biggest thing is that I'm so used to the 4.10's in the stang that its weird trying to dig race with the 2.73's this car has. It's faster than it feels lol.

A 98 z28 auto stock should outrun a 02 gt auto stock. 5 speed may have a chance against an auto z28 but auto to auto the ls1 should be faster.
