The Imolamonster came to take the title... and almost did! lol
So went to the strip today, opening day for 2012... Met another fourm member, Imolamonster(Patrick) there for some fun... He has a 2011 B8 S4 with apr tune, pulley, longtubes, miltek exhaust, apr intake, 18inch bbs wheels and I beleive that is it... I am sure he will chime in... He was on race gas as was I... Things got interesting when he showed up as his car was in diet mode... He came w/o the front seat, back seat, and a bunch of plastic around the motor area... I think he said he took out 230lbs... Again, I am sure he will chime in... As soon as I seen it I said to my brother, "wow, I think I am in trouble here"... He came ready to run some times...
My Car: 2010 Audi S4 - DSG with sports dif, 5,875 miles, 1/8 tank of gas, tools and spare removed
Mods: APR tune, APR pulley, LFC's, miltek non-res exhaust, custom intake, APR CPS, front and rear sways, Alu Kruez, Brembo BBK, BBS CHR's, tire pressure 36F 32R
Conditions: 49F, 43% humidity, 30.33 BP.... DA was 450... almost a perfect day around here... of course I don't get these -1000 DA days like you other folks
Ran a total of 5 passes... Made 4 right away and then it got mobbed and lots of breakage so we bailed after 1 more...
Run 1:
Racing the Imolamonter, I staged before he did and waited as he pulled up... I had a nice shallow stage and think he was a little deeper... I nailed a decent .23 reaction time to his .74 so he was playing catchup the whole time... clean shifting hit 5th fairly early so I knew I had a good time... Sure enough... boom! 11.78! A new best by a hundreth! LOL Patrick ran a 12.19... I think he used his paddles to shift by accident and shortshifted... I wasn't quite as worried now but knew he would run better... Watch my rearview in the gopro vid below...
Run 2:
Another nice clean pass and ran a 11.85... Didn't get to run Patrick, but watched him pull off a 11.83! Uh oh... I could be in trouble here...
Run 3:
Another nice clean pass and I backed the 11.85 up with an 11.85! lol
Run 4:
Next, me and the monster lined up again... I barely out treed him .1518 to .2956 and it was on... Car had a slight 1-2 hang and it cost me as we were dead even the whole track... I went 12.07 to his 11.93 but still got the win because of my reaction time... lol
Run 5:
Waited quite a while and busted off a 11.89...
All in all a very fun day... His car runs well... We went back to my house to do some vag mods and he had o2 codes thrown, but don't think it hurt his performance... I was happy with my car given he was at least 200-250lbs lighter and I still ran slightly better times... Was hoping for 11.6 and it would have probably happened if it didn't get so crowded and it did warm up into the 50's... Oh well long season and I did get a new best...
The bad news is I let my PC die w/o saving the vagcom logs and even worse I left the SD card in my pc vs in the v-box so no data... I even went to 130 on my runs for testing... Tsivas is going to kill me! LOL I'll use this thing one more week and get them next week...
I'll get some more vids up later have to do some stuff around here... later Ron

Had some greg runs today with the 11.83 and an 11.92. there were some not so good ones in there but i will not mention them lol - ron, your car is very fast, and we will have to do this again - i will make some changes hopefully before then and we will have to see how this goes down again
Also, thanks for the help again on the Vag Com stuff and it was very informing.
in final thoughts - i think i need to buy the APR intercooler - this will help when trying to run the car multiple times a day.
will post pics of my times later!

Hey Ron - you said you have the eurocode sway bard - i tend to think that we were not as far off from weight as you may have thought.
we both took out the spare and those other thing which is about 40 lbs. I know you said you have a smaller battery which takes off another 20 lbs or so. Also, between the chassis brace, the new breaks and no nav i think we would be relatively close if we weighed them out
