spin and spin and spin and spin and spin..................
how cold is it where you are, are you driving on ice?
on certain pavement i can roll into the throttle in 4th at around 3k and start spinning, others i can punch in first and just GO.
the hypertech is only useful on 100% stock cars. other than that its worthless.
im sure that the transmission shift firmness settings are set to the highest.
which means once u get it spinning its gunna keep spinning.
but to say that u spin well into OD, that is ridiculous. first off you would have to REALLY be trying or u dont grasp the concept of drag racing...

Depends on the street. There was this one uphill concrete onramp that I'd brake torque it up to 3000rpms, get a little smoke going, let off the brake and floor it. Would smoke the tires all the way to 3rd gear, then I'd **** myself because I was spinning the tires at 80mph at the end of the onramp where it curves. I had some pretty crappy Sumitomo tires with no tread when I was doing that though, but those same tires would hook at the top of 1st at the strip and on certain roads.

I plan on gettin something soon, and i kno hypertech is gay, it came with the car....
Ive never been to the strip, i was hoping to go tomorrow but i guess thats not happening. The car will spin in half of OD, the wheels hop at not even quarter throttle, half or more and they jus spin

Maybe you should pop the hood and see if that car doesn't have a ZZ572 in there....... spinning the wheels in over drive would read over 150 MPH, that would be impressive but unlikely. Stock motor doesn't have the guts and stock 4 speed auto would take a vacation. Who knows though.....

i think you should be worried about the suspesion before buying and more go-fast parts, that wheel hop is a killer...
just a couple of my cents.

I'm not an idiot lol, i know it starts in 1st, it goes through 3 and a half. Its a pretty much stock a4 and it breaks loose at a 40 roll, its sad that the tires are that bad.

Post up a vid guy... There ain't no way your spinning tire through 4 gears in a 2.73, or even 3.23 geared car.
Edit: I'm not calling you an idiot either BTW. Just have SERIOUS doubt that a stock Z28 is capable of roasting tire like your describing.

......3rd gear in an A4 is good for close to 150mph.

I know I've read some other owners say? they get more then 120mph in 3rd gear in an a4 but thats not the case with my car.

generally caused by a higher numeric gear set..
