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. :p

well u hav eplenty of MPH to be in the 10's, i guess u just need better tires and improve your 60'...btw what was ur 60' time?

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

I almost bought an s4 there just way to much to maintain. yours is pretty fast how much power is it putting down

That's not exactly necessary.

lets just hope u are joking, coz i thought u were a lil bit more open minded than that.

it s always nice to see how other AWD car do at the strip

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

o i c that s what it is, i didnt know lol

I knew u had a good reason for ur reply :updown:

Lol, you said this would be on here.....hope you made it to Tom's River and a Cracker Barrel!

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.
:D

do u have a dyno graph?
it looks liek u hare loosing timie between shift, and or ur car only make good power in the top end.

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

I know u said you had DRs, but can you step up a size to possibly some 245s?
