2005 A4 2.73 first time at track!
Rt .200
60 2.00
330 5.63
1/8 8.54 @ 85.15
1/4 13.06 @ 109.26 MPH
I tested with Traction control off on "D"
Anyone tried 3 gear?
or shifting up 1,2,3?
Just wondering if I would be faster with 3 gear Traction off or competition mode.

it worked good with my c5 but the 05 c6 a4 hits the limiter you can shift wide open throttle 1-2-3 at 5 - 6 thousand rpm and hits the limiter so why shift some times it will shift if i shift at 3000

gears alone could take you down .5 or better, if traction is good. Just from experience with a 4l60e tranny (older A4) I wouldn't go 1,2,3 too much...solenoids burn out fast, then the bands...3 isn't bad at all for the track, gears should coincide with the tranny being at peak rpm in 3 as you cross the line.

Been doing this for a year now tranny is perfect just went in for a dealership check-up (full warranty everything is top notch!)

We have the newer 4L65 (I read about it, it's built stronger in all areas also to handle the extra HP & Torque) in C6, I drive around contiuously upshifting 1-2-3 or 1-2 and then back down again 3-2-1 w/Bullet cat-back it's a blast! Crackle burble on deceleratiom downshifts is just retarded fun

RT.200 is his reaction time to lights, also could be better, but this guy guy did remarkably well 1st time out w/crappy 2.73 gears from factory, very well done!
I could be wrong on the 330, I believe it's 330 feet, close to what 0-60 would be
Edit: what psi wer ein your rears? fronts?

That's a good time. My best run in my A4 2.73 was 12.96 bone stock. Since that time I've added a honker, 3.42 RE, and had updated dyno and tranny SW work. Looking forward to running it again when our track opens up next month.
