Other than it being hard to hook on the street, if anything you have the advantage on a street. I have only seen a select few 6 spds hook real well on the street, and that was with a nicely prepped street, a big tire, and a very badass driver.

Sounds good to me man. The only thing I say is to make it a motor to motor race, no juice. Let the real hp shine. Anyway I'll be there in November so just look for me. When my cutouts and tires come in nxt month I might knock some rust off at Irwindale, I'll post if I go.

I didnt think it was. I'll just be glad to have my car back on the track at all to tell you the truth! I won't be able to make Irwindale for the next 3 months because of school, but we can set up something else

What I meant was if you were to beat him e.t. wise, he should be reeling you in the whole time because of you being an A4. Most street races I'm in go over 115 MPH. Do your's? His car as well as mine would keep pullin when yours falls off. I have no doubt we would pull you really hard from a roll. I also have no doubt your stalled car will get out of the hole a lot faster. So here we go again A4 vs. M6. We should set up a street race... O I forgot you don't want race on the street you only race on the track LoL.

What do you do? You obviously don't work much being that your on this site arguing all day.

Oh my god man! I trap over 120mph in the 1/4mi. Dont you know how ratios work? He's geared for a strip mine is geared for top speed. It'll be the other way around, he might have a faster et and I'll have more trap speed. More than likely I'll have to catch him at half track. Read a book on how that works. He has 6 speeds but they are close ratios, thats why 1st and 2nd pull hard. It all about where your shift points and stall are. My car pulls very hard at toptrack, if we were to go beyond a 1/4mi you'd see him drop offf and me still going, thats science. 4.10= good for drag strip, lower top speed, 3.42= good for freeway, higher top speed.

BTW, Im a power plant engineer and I have some free time on my hands this week, dont hate.

Whitemongoose, I wanna keep it cool. I dont know the outcome and neither do you. We dont have crystal ***** so lets not get cocky. What if you miss a shift, get wheel hop, or what if Im faster than you think? You never know what can happen. Lets let the cars shine. i know youre a competitive guy as am I, lets line them up in Fontana if you want. Racing was your idea so no one can say I was talking **** and called you out or anything or that i said I was faster so i hope we keep it cool and I can see you there in November for an intresting race.
Yeah me too man i just wana race and have some fun, and believe me i no ur car is fast i no what express work, had my old set up done by then, but yeah man let me get my clutch and will def hit fontana

My street races go exactly a 1/4 anyways, roll racing is for

That vette definitely has a bigger top end than your car, plus aerodynamics are on his side, you might get the initial pull up to just north of 100 but he is more aerodynamic than you and has the gears for a higher top speed so if you wanna do a top speed run, my bet is with the vette.

I got a great idea. Why don't you guys do the standing mile, that will involve from a dig and what you guys have in the top end, it will settle everything. I remember seeing a thread on who wanted to do it, you guys should all sign up and viola you get your race.
