Hey, Central C, this is very cool. It would be nice to keep this post alive through the 2006 season. I want to add my car but it won't be ready until Jun-ish
Here's my best run, which I got just 2 weeks ago with the new headers. List of mods is in the signature. 1992 A4, air temp 48F, pressure 30.11", density alt ~ sea level.
We can all post are "best" time but what about what we run most of the time? Most of the time with the 2.73's I would run between a 12.5 to a 12.8.
I just installed a D44 with 3.45's and now I'm running between a 12.3 to a 12.4. Have not had enough track time with the 3.45's but I'm hoping for a high 11 soon.
When my G-Tech was leaning slightly downwards, I ran a 14.8 @ 91 mph once. Dunno if that would count and that was about a few days after getting the Vette.

Naw you have to go to a race track.
My gtech said I trapped 107 mph with a stock 85.
It's repeatable at least. I've been using it to measure 0-60 times at the track so I can communicated with all the magazine readers at work that keep bugging me.

Why is your mph real low? Did you let off near the end? As far as that vid I saw you run, at least you can jump Z06s pretty badly on a stoplight race...

To be honest I really don't pay much attention to my MPH, its how "quick" I can get down the track.
Its all a matter of how efficient a car can put its power to the ground.
If I ran a 12.19 at 114 mph I would think I'm losing power to the ground
Just my thoughts.

Well, that's a pretty killer 60' you got. So yeah you did make good use of your power. My 60' usually avarages between 2.00-2.20. With some Nittos or BFG DRs, I've gotten my 60' as low as 1.8 before, but its hard on my D36.
Times on the right, mods - LT headers, that run had muff elims and BFG DR, cut lid and K&N, cut plugs, AFPR, don't know the DA but it was in the -'s
That slip has my best in each item on it the 1.81 60 etc.

I have to dig up my old time slips to get a picture but i remember my first 12 pretty good.
1993 6 speed. 1.6 rr, march pullies, crane hi-6 ignition, accel u-groove plugs, Watson mid-length headers, no cats w/stock exhaust, K&N filter w cut filter lid, afpr, 4.09 gears. Car was full tank of gas and running on what i call "real' street tires (comp ta -zr), not DRs. Although i think thats apparent with my 60 ft
60 ft - 2.098
1/8 - forget :/
1/4 et - 12.89
1/4 mph - 111.8
60'- 1.515
330- 4.460
660 (1/8)- 6.979
97.41 mph
1000- 9.161
1/4- 10.979
mph 124.86
This was my old combo. Typical 10.5:1 383 motor with superram and ported 113's. Add a 150 wet NOS shot and it ran this et.
Trans is homebuilt 700r4 with 2200 stall converter
Gears 3:07 on this run. Car now has 3:33
Hookers 1 3/4 headers w 2 1/4 duals and dynomax mufflers.
BFG Drag Radials.
DA was approx 2000 feet

What kind of car ran beside you? I like his 2.4 60' time... Looks like he had some kinda of power adder like forced induction, or nitrous to help him out...
