Default RR/AC w/4400 Yank.

Is it possible to road race or autocross with a stall so huge on a low 11 second street car? I mean would it hurt the tranny since it would be such a high torque and high demand on the drivetrain? I've always wanted to try it, but I don't know if it would hurt the car? I have no suspension mods except a STB. I am putting SFC's and LCA's on very soon. I just wanna try it once. Any ideas or suggestions?

Yes, you can road race it....

The converter is your only issue, should be OK but MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BIG COOLER!!!!

I road race mine & my wife wouldn't go for the M6 when we bought it. I got 50,000 everyday miles & 9 track events out of it before the stock A4 went south. Most of those track days were without a shift kit OR a cooler ..... I'm sure that's what really killed it. I finally got a shift kit and cooler on it, but the damage was done........

I have now converted it to M6.

Anyway, I am not a newbee to road racing & I was pushing that poor thing for every ounce it had. As a novice I doubt you'll push it that hard.

GO ON..... give it a try, anyway!
