put some 4.30s in the cobra and youll be hurtin. good runs though the longer the race went the more you would have pulled.

Thats a good looking Camaro. Some reason I've always liked the retro stripes like that.

Nice runs, I couldn't really read what the mods to the Cobra were but my 99 wasn't impressive until I put gears in it.

Yeah I think if he got at least 4.10s (or 4.30s) it would be a great race, even if you got a stall.

So what did that in the video mean when it said you over-revved? Your sig says you're an A4...or did I miss something

No your right. What happened was I put the car in 1st gear for the 30mph roll because the car automatically shifts into second around 30-35. The car hit the rev limiter because I didn't throw into Drive fast enough after flooring it. So after I hit the limiter about 4 times (despite it being in drive) I let off the gas for a split second and it shifted up.

Sounds like he is running 2.73s though, so I think a gear change is in order for the Camaro too.

I was talking stall vs. gears. A stall does just as much for an A4 as gears do, especially from a stop.

A stall should be the first mod to do to an A4 that will even make a stockish car perform well. Then do gears 3.42 A4 = 4.11 M6. After that you can pretty much do what ever you want. A 3400 stall should let you grow into just about any cam you want to use. Anything over 4.11 on an A4 you are really going to hate this thing on the highway.

Agreed. Higher stall converters are a huge change regardless of gearing. However, I've driven both a stalled 2.73 car and a stalled 3.42 car and the difference is vast. A stalled 2.73 bolt on car still feels pretty lazy.
