First time at the track
i had my first runs with my car at the track last night. Here in west texas, i can see how this can be VERY ADDICTING. I have a pretty much stock 99 A4, it has a Vararam and LS6 intake with injectors.
Best time was 14.0 at 103mph
2.2 60'
does this sound right?
i just wanna go faster now. Currently searching for a Yank converter.

Sounds about right with that terrible 60 ft time. Improve your 60 ft. times and your ET should be in the mid to low 13s where it belongs. Your trap speed is also a tad low, at what RPM is your car shifting at WOT? BTW do you have 2.73 or 3.15 gears?

Sounds slow to me, If you have the 2.73 rear end, you should be going from 13.5 to 13.7 and with 3.15 rear, 13.2 to 13.5
Your 60 foots are terrible, try turning on your competition mode and start off in 3rd gear, leaving it there the duration of the run. Oh and make shure to leave on the last yellow light .

i have the 2.73's , i dont have a comp. mode only trac. control on or off. i had it off. i will try it in 3rd gear next time. i dont know why the 60' were so slow i dont think i was spinning? i wasnt to worried about the reaction times they were from .738 to a 1.061.
you have to remember this was my first time ever. im pretty confident i can do better.

Good start. Now you have your baseline and can see how you improve as you get more track time. You should be able to put down some 13.2-13.6 times eventually. Best of luck.

I'm pretty sure that you do have comp mode. Go out to the car and press the Trac Control button and just hold it for a few seconds 3 to 5 seconds, it should set itself in comp mode.
