Default So..... back from the dragstrip round 3?

So.... I have been waiting for my exhaust(hopefully shipped today) to go back to the track with the new S, but the weather was good today and my older brother wanted me to take it as he couldn't believe it ran 12's. LOL

Conditions.... 67 degrees, 53% humidity, 53 dewpoint, 5-10mph cross wind, overcast, and 30ish BP.... DA was 1500ish...

Car - 2010 Audi S4 with S-tronic, SD, 19's, stramosphere intake, full weight, and 1/4 tank of 93 octane gas.... Car has 1,900 miles....

Got 3 passes.... Times barely improved but the trap speeds were unreal!

Run 1
1.9170 60ft
5.4827 330ft
8.3637 1/8 mile
85.85 1/8 mph
10.8300 1000 foot et
12.9068 1/4 time
110.55 mph ---> WOW ~

Run 2
1.8733 60ft
5.4190 330ft
8.2981 1/8 mile
86.01 1/8 mph
10.7722 1000 foot et
12.8560 1/4 time ---> Just a litte slower than my best last time of 12.8523
109.48 mph

Run 3
1.8438 60ft
5.3769 330ft
8.2600 1/8 mile
85.67 1/8 mph
10.7349 1000 foot et
12.8188 1/4 time ---> Best time, but not 12.7xx!
109.74 mph

Really shocked by the mph's.... Not sure about the 110.55 but back to back mid 109's is nice! Still no where near the Gtech 111.9 traps posted on Audizine.... Car didn't seem to fall on it's face as much up top this time as the colder denser air helped.... Was going to try short shifting but didn't stick around for additional runs.

Exhaust will go on this weekend/next week and I will be back.... Then with the chip Come on APR! LOL


I have the slips and will post them Thursday, pregnant wife sleeping and I am not sure where the cammera is! later Ron

Wo! Amazing what good weather will do for times. I ran a 13.2 in 100+ weather with DSG.

Response times?

Does the S-Tronic have a launch control feature?

Negative on the s-stronic launch control! If it did S4s would probably be putting down RS5 like times.(same transmission but launch control enabled)

RS5 is not the same transmission, it's got beefier internals.
