Default My Latest 0-60 time...

Did a run this morn prior to taking her in for inspection...

Registered a 4.42 on the GTech!!!



Yea, I was pretty happy with that in case you couldn't tell!

Not bad for a 2.73 A4 with minor mods.

I wonder if the stall/3.42 will get me to 4 flat???

Stall and gears will probably make traction an issue for 0-60,,,but you'll have tons of fun getting there!!

Does an altitude of 1200 ft affect 0-60 times or more in the 1320?

Your altitude would make your quarter mile time about 1 tenth higher then it would be at sea level....its hard to say how it would effect your 0-60 because the car would be making about 10rwhp more at sea level.

Thanks...if only .10 at 1320...probably negligible at 0-60.

Quoting G-Tech times is a terrible way to guage performance. Take it to a 1/4-mile track.

I disagree...

For those who don't live near a track, it's the next best thing. These devices are extremely accurate and like a dyno, can be used to assess how your car is running.

I also disagree, it should be reasonably reliable and is not speeding in some locations. Also with the 2.73 rear and new tires that thing probably hooks up great and straight w/out swinging out the rear in a reckless manner. Although some states have been known to ticket for show of speed w/o truly speeding.
