Default My 1/4 mile time

It was a sucky track but the best time so far was 12.98 @111.85 mph on runflats. Kind of dissapointed but it was the first time to take the car to the track. I can't wait to see what it will do with drag radials. :crazy:

Did you run at TAD(Temple/Academy Dragway)? If so, you're right......the track sux. Not to meantion those are excellent times for a slightly moded C5 at TAD.

Either way, congrats on the awesome 1/4 mile times. :cool:

Way to go Lisa!! Those times are definitely not disapointing. Many people would love to be running 111mph with an A4!!

Matt , I believe she has a 6 speed. There are guys in my club that can't get in the 12's with theirs. Women are always better at the strip!
