Default A4 1/4 Mile Times?

Just wondering what everyone did bone stock with their A4's in the 1/4 mile and with which gear
ratio. The reason I ask is that when at the track last weekend, I started talking to a guy selling his
2000 Magnetic Red/Black Leather C5, with an A4 and the 3.15 (G90 Performance Axle) gear ratio.
Aside from the A4 it is pretty much what I'm looking for. EXCEPT... his "best" 1/4 mile run of 13.78 @
102mph. This seem awfully slow to me. Even if he had 2.73's, I'd like to believe the car should be faster.
Any feedback would be appreciated!

Oh yeah, my stock 98 Z28 ran 13.70 @101 mph bone stock with 2.73's and a lot more weight!

Thanks In Advance!

If you go to the Breathless Performance website I think they still have my letter with all the time slips averaged as each Mod. was installed. You will find that 13.6 at 104 mph is quite normal for a bone stock C5

I just pulled my very first time slip (02 A4 3:15) and it 13.45 @ 104.21. I put the 500th mile on that night 1/4 mile at a time. :yesnod:

That is about right. Lot's of variables will affect that. Weather, weight, traction, vehicle temp, etc.

My best stock was 13.54 with 2.22 60' and 103.45 MPH.

I've read of many low 13 runs with A4's on this site.

13.32 @ 103.6 normal night. He may not have abused the car to get it low. Brake torquing really helps in ET on stock cars.

totally green; know I could've done better. 82 degrees, high humidity.

2002 A4, Z06 exhaust, K&N OEM filter, 3.42 gears, stock TC.

Coming soon: Predator or LS1Edit programing
