Going to the track on friday.

[Auditude2.0T]

Going to launch the car at 2500rpm, 32 psi in tires, 100 octane, no spare, but i just can't figure out how to remove the rear seats, (i took the seats out of my dads old a6 4.2 in 15 minutes) this car is harder. Anyone done it? Looking for a 13.8@100mph, i probably won't get that and have to go on a shopping spree again. Wish me luck, and i just hope i break into the 13's b/c if i dont vast bt kit here i come, and levelten torque converter upgrade:)

good luck, I hope you beat my time. I should be going in the next week or so. Let the races begin.

[Auditude2.0T]

We have very similar mods so you will give me a good idea of what I should run soon.

[Auditude2.0T]

how do you like the intercooler?

[quattrosaint]

how do you like the intercooler?

Its great, car runs so much cooler and definately more powerful. I have not run it at WOT in quite some time. I am having some issues with the car being sluggish and what feels like fuel cuts (but cant be) I am having it retuned this Friday to see if that cures the issues. If not I dont know what to do and 14.1 may be my best. How sad.

[Phrost]

Good luck!

Take out the spare along with all of your tools, and run more air pressure in your tires! About 32psi is normal for daily driving, but you want to launch at a drag strip. Fill them up to about 40-42psi, because since you will be on a very sticky track, you want your tires to break loose so you can get a good launch. Seriously

powerbrake to 2K and let it rip. Also stay in sport mode and dont shift!

[VZWalex]

good luck bro !!

[autoverruckt]

...230lb driver

Yikes have someone else drive your car or go on a diet.

J/P represent the tip! While it seems silly to 'weight reduce' this car in general, every little bit helps at the dragstrip - headrests, owners manual, floor mats, tool kit, glove box contents are all easy. Even throwing on your 17's once you get in a few runs and figure out the launch may help cuz those DTM reps are heavy!

What is powerbraking? Is it as simple as setting you emergency brake, revving your engine and then releasing and letting it rip? Or is it something completely different?

left foot on brake, right foot on gas. Gently press right foot/accelerator to 2k rpms and hold, wait for the light (or traffic situation), release left foot and floor the right foot. Car takes off like a bat outta hell. Don't go over 2.5kish rpm or your will stall like an ABS cut-out type thing. Turn off your esp and throw it in sport mode for good measure.

In older turbo cars without the computer interventions, you could brake boost while driving on the road if you were good.

correct, oh yeah I almost forgot the most important thing TURN YOUR ESP OFF. autoverrückt they will be thanking you for that reminder!

[A4CE1]

what track and is it open to all if a fellow AZer wanted to come?

[dreamcar=rs4]

you guys reccomend sport mode? i personally think it revs too high but the good ol' tip isnt meant for drag racing anyways

[SilverB7FL]

whoo! I'm going to the track on friday w/ my car too! i'm leaving the spare in though but atleast I don't weigh 230 lbs! hee hee

yea I leave her in sport mode and launch it, hopefully I remember to turn the damn ESP off this time, last time i forgot!

[Six Speed Turbo]

Well sounds like everyone will be having fun........Exceept me. Oh well I will get my chance in about 27 days. Can't wait to see those results, so post 'em when you get 'em.

ha ha thanks I'll try!

[Sanjman]

shouldn't you use APR 100 program with 100 octane gas... otherwise it would be worthless no?

[JMG]

Skip the drag, hit the twisties on a real track!

You can figure out your 1/4 mile time by multiplying your 1/8th by 1.55.

I have 93 and 100

[lnferno]

You can figure out your 1/4 mile time by multiplying your 1/8th by 1.55.

...as an estimate.

[mike-2ptzero]

...as an estimate.

Correct, just so you can figure out what your 1/4 might be. It does seem that 1.54-1.55 is right on for our quattro cars. In the 7+ years of racing my A4 thats the #'s mine always show.

My last time at the track was 6.9-7.0 @ 1/8th mile and 10.69-10.82 @ 1/4.

[Noffy]
