racing from a roll
racing from a roll 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
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.

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.

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.
