Could not have asked for better weather at the track rental today, the car was running great!! I only wish we could have put the stock tires on and made some passes but the z06 club that we were with would not allow us to.

You will do it on street tires very soon.

I was at ATCO yesterday, 41 degrees and sunny.
Unfortunately I was not in my C7, my son and I were racing our 87 Mustang since we redid the rear.
I'm glad he woke up late and met me there, I was going to bring the C7.
I said I would not run it if I brought it, but the temptation probably would have gotten me.
Now that I have aftermarket axleback it would not count as a stock A6 anyway.

Final total cost is $143.45 per person. You can subtract your net deposit from this to get your balance. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEND ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER PAYPAL FEES IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO SEND AS A GIFT.
Most will owe a balance of $43.45. It's possible someone will owe a little more due to PayPal fees.


PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION FIRST. PLEASE READ DAILY FOR UPDATES.
1. To elaborate on the above, the total cost will dependent upon the amount of people. To rent both lanes exclusively, MIR charges $2,400 for up to the first 24 cars. Additional cars are $100/car.
Track prep is $0.50/LF beyond the first 60'. We like to have the entire track sprayed for added safety.
For example:
10 cars = $2400 + 2{(1,320-60) x $0.50} = $3,660 or $366.00/person.
15 cars = $2400 + 2{(1,320-60) x $0.50} = $3,660 or $244.00/person.
20 cars = $2400 + 2{(1,320-60) x $0.50} = $3,660 or $183.00/person.
24 cars = $2400 + 2{(1,320-60) x $0.50} = $3,660 or $152.50/person.
30 cars = $2400 + 2{(1,320-60) x $0.50} + (30-24) x $100 = $4,260 or $142.00/person.

2. This is a DR or Slick Only event. NO EXCEPTIONS.

3. A $100 deposit per person is required in cash, check or PayPal. If there are associated charges with the PayPal transaction, these will be added to your total amount due.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEND ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER PAYPAL FEES IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO SEND AS A GIFT.

On my 3rd and last pass, I just gave it a little gas about 1500rpm but still role into the throttle and went 11.94. Trust me it did not feel like a 11 second pass at all. My next outing I am going all out, especially if the track is prepped very well. Remember, you are not going for a record with your first time out. I was just curious on where the car is regarding the 1/4 mile. The magazine went 12.15 with the A6 convertible.....I just wanted to beat that time.

If you ran 11.9@116 coming out easy I see you going at least 0.2 and 2mph better.
My Vert is base 1lt, I doubt it weighs more than a 2lt Z51 Coupe, one of these days I'll run it.

HP has nothing to do with it. With all being equal under the hood the 8 speed will be faster. The trans shifts faster and less RPM drop than the 6 speed which means the 8 speed keeps the car in the meaty part of the torque band where the 6 spd has to rev back up into it. It is not anything that can be fixed.
