S4 runs back to back 11.0's at the strip

11.Ohhhhhh so close to the 10's. Oh well there's always next time, right? :evilgrin

I realize it's not an Evo, but would still appreciate any feedback or suggestions any of you might have on how I can improve my times. The Audi crowd is somewhat lacking in this department.

We don't care. This is an Evo forum.

Not from this guy. Go read his inflammatory posts elsewhere on this forum. He's just sweet-talking you here...

My 60fts ranged from 1.600 to 1.65-1.66, depending on what RPM I'd shift from 1st to 2nd. The difference between hitting the 60 foot marker in 1st vs 2nd is only a matter of like 100 RPMs in this car.

I'm running 225-45-17 BFG Drag Radials. I've played with the tire pressures, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I was running them at 24psi yesterday.

It's odd because with 129mph traps and a 1.600 60ft, I'd think be well into the 10's. Maybe I'm losing time when my car bottoms out on the launch and in between shifts? The suspension I'm running now is really, really soft... Do Evo guys see any gains from running a tight suspension at the strip?

I'm putting down only 427whp on a Mustang Dyno, but the car is very light... About 2850-2900lbs.

Hahaha yeah man, we had a huge meal at some Cracker Barrel off of Route 206. It was nice meeting you and your buddy with the SRT-4 at the track. I can't wait to go back soon and hopefully break into the 10's.

The way your front end was falling in between shifts there is definitely soom room for improvement.
