Dig is always the best on a4 with 3.23 or 55mph or 60mph.
Good races.
Get the SES fixed and race again you should walk him

 

thanks for the tips guys...i'm gonna be getting an ORY or LTs and ORY within 2 months...that will take care of the light and add some ponies...

 

Sounds like you had fun and that's all that matters

Like many people said already, your best bet is racing from a dig with an auto... I would never get an auto myself unless it was going to be a drag car. For the streets and fun, 6-speed is a must!
