low 12's hah! I have a video of one running 9's Be careful texas boys! I know you guys go big, but 9's is no joke :p

 

The A4 I have with 3.23s is shifting 1-2 at 44 to 46 and 2-3 at 88 to 91.

But, I have been playing with the shift points and increased teh rev limiter to 6500.

AND at http://www.f-body.org/gears/

The A4 with 3.23s and a 275/40 17 tires will shift at 6200 rpm at 48mph for the 1-2 and at 90mph for the 2-3

The 02' WS6 M6 with 3.42 and the same rev limit of 6200 and tires gets 1-2 at 52 mph and the 2-3 at 78mph.

the M6 with 3.23s is 55 for 1-2 and 82 for 2-3.


SO THERE!


Sometimes you guys get way too serious

 

DITTO! I run 2:73 gears as well 35 mile roll....Chirp, Bark....GONE! 40 mile roll

 

My car stops kicking down to first gear at about 34 mph. 30 mph it kicks and spins and ~35 mph it kicks to second.

 

All I know is that even when I get my cam and converter (next Spring, after I finish with my current intake/exhaust mods), I'm keeping the 2.73's. 35 mph 'SWEET SPOT', monstrous top end pull, and good gas mileage. The 2.73's are

 

Really!?! Mine even used to do it b4 I "tweeked" the PCM. Now it's even more so.

 

Too serious?? Nah, its just entirely possible to still hit 1st at 35.. of course... with how weak the 4L60E is from the factory I wouldnt do it that much on a stock one.

 

You're lighter dude...face it. Race him from a light and you won't be to happy with the results....Considering the fact that when you race from 20mph you're racing against a NA 4cyl until he hits about 3500, and at 20mph 1st gear is useless since he'd have to shift as soon as he hit the gas. I'm not too impressed.

 

So let me get this straight, you want to stack the race so that the evo has every advantage possible, and THEN it's ok to race? See, I was under the impression that these turbo 4s were the new way to go... they were the way of the future... or at least that's what I keep being told. Now you're telling me that I have to let him spool up his turbo (hey, my extra bank of 4 cylinders is on all the time) before we can race... and I have to run him from a dig so that he can take advantage of his AWD launch (because AWD is so superior to drag radial launch, right? surrrrrre)? ok. now I'M not impressed.

I don't call bullshit when someone beats me from a dead spot roll on my stock A4 converter.

 

I wouldn't think someone that has 5 posts in a LS1 forum or that doesn't even own a LS1 would be impressed . I would say I have more right to compare turbo cars to LS1's over you any day....my car before my cammed vette was a '01 prelude fully built w/ a rev hard stg 2 turbo kit by Joe-tech out of Dallas . Lets here what you have to back up your thoughts. BTW I sold the turbo'ed prelude since every GT from a red light could drag my ***, just like your little friend in the rice burner got treated. .

 

I was looking into an evo before I made my mind up to get a better car. that weight is roughly correct, and the 13.3 is with a great driver. I will tell ya at the track I see stock evos pushing high 13's low 14's. Added that these kids probably dont know how to drive to well. Just to put it into retrospect, the 13.4 is a more accurate time, and is a time from professional drivers for either Mitsu or a sport compact magazine who do nothing but flog new models to test their limits.

The evo is a pretty quick car with some mods **and a good driver** (as with most cars). I have run some evos with intake, header, exhaust, and blow off valve, and turbo timers. Yet to be beat. The ricers hear these low 1/4 times and think that their car will do that without trying...WRONG...thats where their big heads come from.
