Default at the track yesterday

ok so just got all my mods done in the last month. pretty much everything at once. so have a buddy with a charger 5.7 said he was going sweet im in lets do a test. only got to run once. never really drove the car with esp off so i figured now would be the time. get up to the line ready to go. light turns drop the clutch, didn't know my tires would spin so bad. no crappy car shake just lit up my tires all through first. who knew. anyway ran a 16.79 ****ty i know but was fun for sure. probably lost a sec just laying down some rubber. will do better next time. should i have left the esp on. thats what gives it that shake right.

I always left the TC off when i had my GTP. Dropping the presure in the front's will help, good tires is a must also. If you are at the track punch it on the last light before the green.

You have to master the art of slipping the clutch and avoiding traction loss. When you do that you should be able to get much better times than you did since the AWD's are faster than that and your FWD should beat an AWD due to the lack of another set of tires to spin.

You cant't spin the Audis AWD system... theres videos of TT's gutted with 500hp and they can launch the car with minimal spin. Do you even own the effing car...?

Fwd sucks.
