i have been doing a little bit of street racing here lately, and i was wondering what a good speed is to take off at from a roll. my car is a 2000 formula a4 with pacesetter lt's, tsp catted y, and a slp "flo pac". i wasnt sure where to post this, but i figured you guys would be able to help me out. thanks in advance

 

prolly somewhere in 1st or low second so that it can downshift. just stall that bad boy and race from a dig

 

i would race from a dig now, but nobody else wants to except my buddy with an evo.

 

um a 20 roll.

 

as slow as you can go and get traction. you want to be in your good rpm band but not spin too much when you hit it

 

All the imports want to go from a 40 roll. 2nd gear is great in most of them from 40, too bad most f-bodies aren't.

Race from wherever feels strongest to you. If you can downshift into 1st and hook, go from 30 or so. If they want to go faster (and you can't hit 1st), go from wherever 2nd gear starts feeling strong. I'll go from 0-25, 50, or 70 in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but I run 4.11's and shift at 6700.

 

Off the juice I like a 40, on the juice it's gotta be a 50+ because of major traction issues.
In my old Z28 with a Yank PT4000 a 25 roll was the only way to go.

 

Like everyone else said, with that A4 you want to go from the lowest speed possible while you can still hook. If you had a 6speed you could go from damn near anywhere.

 

No speed will work if I'm along side of you in my 06 Mustang!

 

Stock 3.23 A4 20 roll will downshift to the top of 1st...60 roll will hit the top of second

Not sure if you have adjusted shift points or gear ratio

 

i would say 60mph auto and 50mph for m6

 

high mph races like that arent any fun because u dont get to rip through all 4 gears

 

Isent that one of those things you just go out there and see which mph feels better

 

yeah i could do that, but i figured that it would save me time and gas to just ask on here. thanks for all the input guys!

 

Street Racing is dangerous

 

Yeah, you should never ever street race.

 

wow.....pretty confident

 

hey cptncdy, just curious - and I cannot stress how much I am not trying to flame here - but, what are your views on the new street racing laws? Are you ok with losing your vehicle when doing some harmless street racing? I used to do it in highschool and such too, but now the risks are so high. A little harmless run on the feeder could end up costing you your car! Too high of a risk imo. I'd love to hear what others think too.

 

Did you happen to race an 06 Black GTO sat night? I'm going to take my tranny to t56 rebuild so ill be taking it easy for awhile. How many miles you got in your formula? As from a roll id say anything in first is good for an a4

 

yeah i did race a black GTO on friday night. we were all just messing around for something to do. you know him? my formula has 98,xxx miles on it.
