It would be approximately a 12.35 (plus or minus) or so in the 1/4 mile.
Nice pass.

I just checked again and according to the Wallace Racing conversion chart (a widely used/widely respected source) it would work out to only a 12.43 but that sounds a little slow to me.

easy 12.2 car-impressive for stock.

my bolt on a6(vararam,tune,headers) in vegas ran a best of:
1.92-60ft
8.12@89mph-1/8th
12.49@113.5-1/4mi

you've got me by .2 tenths and 3mph!!!

runs on 20''tires 335/35/20, 50deg, +2500da

Great pass. I do believe you'd be looking at 12.2's at least. The reason. My best pass ,with only a vararam in an otherwise stock 06 A6, was
1.93 60', 8.128 1/8" mile ,12.48 @ 114.4 mph. Your difference is at least .25 secs I would say. How come with all that land out there that there's no 1/4" mile track?

Great time. I just moved out of CA last year (from there) and Irwindale is the best 1/8 track in the area....has the best traction and is the quickest. Of course I never got to run there. Fontana, not so much but at least when it opens, it will be winter. Forget summer for good times, the DA shoots above 5000' with temps 100+ degrees.

He beat you by so much because your wheels and tires are HEAVY.

Good runs man...7s in the 1/8th is pretty stout.

yep ... 1.55 conversion is usually good rule of thumb: so 1.55 X 7.92 = 12.27 (estimated 1/4 ET)....good stuff.

Did you paddle shift or let the A6 do its thing? Any spinning on launch?

That MPH looks pretty good to me
