Very impressive trap speed. I think we were running these cars with few miles on them, and as they loosen up a bit they'll trap a little faster.

Yes, totally stock, no modifications or additions what so ever.

An A6. What I can appreciate about this transmission, is that it only shifts twice and let's the car go through the traps at 6500 Iin 3rd gear. It's like it was made for drag racing.

Excellent, just another case made for my decision to go with the A6, not that it was a difficult one for me. Drove sticks for 35 yrs and the A6 suits me just fine.

I’m not a drag racer but would you share the technique you used to get these times? Thanks.
