Are you serious? This is not uncommon, an A4 trans is not a handicap. It's only weakness is power limitations, we're not talking about a Ford AOD here.

Plently...and meaning more then a few 323 cars have hit 13.3's or better stock...Ive seen 273 cars also acheive this...Not sure how u can say this seeing the engine has been out for 10 yrs w/ a ton of documentation. Your average LS1 driver w/ a 323 car generally runs 13.4-5's. Not sure what kind of drivers your seeing.

For performance, AODs lag far behind the 4L60E.

I know, that was kind of a cheap shot, but being a long time fox guy, I've never had much love for those slushboxes.

Beliveable. My wifes LS1 A4 went 12.96 with just a lid, MAF, and a cutout. Full weight too. -Mark

My '00 A4 Z28 went 13.0 @ 107mph on a 2.0 60' with exhaust and a
lid only. 12.90 @ 108mph is perfectly believable.

I never thought A4 LS1s were fast... Those are respectable times for minimal mods to an automatic factory car.

They aren't fast...just sometimes the timing equipment screws up
