Well I went to Sacramento raceay last night and ran the A4. I was dissapointed with my 16.7 @88mph. Iknow these arent't straight line cars but I thought it would atleast be in the 15's. Maybe once I put the new clutch in and can launch it without frying the clutch. I had to take it easy so I didn't slip it. My 60ft. was a terrible 2.8 (ironicly). Ohwell, I didn't buy this car for speed. The mph is high for a 16 sec. car.

 

next time do few practice runs before actual race…
1/4 Mile should be 15.4 – 15.6sec. your year manual 2.8

 

Yeah I had never ran it and with the altitude change (6,000 ft), it's a different car. I just had 2 runs as it was packed so I didn't get a chnace to play with the launch rpms. I'm sure I can run a mid 15 with some trial.

 

sacramento not 6000 ft above sea level...

im in UT and we arent even that high.

 

time for a supercharger lol. y just get sum practices in. shift at bout 5.5-6k. i think those are pretty good shift points.

 

No, Sacramento isn't but Tahoe is and that's where I am. I am used to taking off ok up here but you lose roughly 5% of your hp for every 1,000 ft. you go in altitude so I gain quite a bit going down to Sac, it's totally different car. I only went for a couple of hours and it was slammed so I only got 2 runs and didn't have time to practice down there.I was shifting about 5500-6000. My launches weren't the best as I didn't want to fry the clutch with too high of an rpm or bog it.
I have a G2 in the garage but I have alot of work to do on my Formula and it's taking up time and money right now. Once that's done and I buy a new clutch for the Audi, then I'll put it on. I wanna do the s/c and clutch at the same time.

 

keep practicing, you should hit low 16's with a little practice.

I doubt you'll break 16 until after the SC.

 

its funny looking at that, you were a 16.7 with 88 trap speed, i wasn 15.6 with 85trap speed and a 2.16 60 ft. so hat shows with a clutch adn better launches, youll dedfanitly do better

 

I have video but I have to edit it.

 

my best time was 16.9 @86 mph on my 97 2.8. that is after 3 years of doing it. they are just slow in the 1/4 mile. crist my 86 chevy beater truck can do it in 15.2
