1.88 60' Pulling tire????

It is possible ...But why aren't the 60's any better??? I am thinking a stall would get the 60' down a bit lower...Is that about the best 60' I can expect without a converter??? I had a guy come up and ask what my 60's were and he was really surprised at the 1.88 He figured 1.6's ...It wasn't there What have you other a4 guys gotten with stock stalls???? Here are some pics of the launches ..


1.88 60' 1
1.88 60' 2

You're doing that with the stock converter?

I think I would question the accuracy of the 60' timers, not your car. JMO.

My car needs a low 1.6 sixty foot time to do that. I wager the clocks are off.

A 1.6 w/ a stock stall would be really diggin. The only time I've seen them that low on a stock converter was when it was jugged out of the hole.

If you've got the tire, a stall will really drop the short times.

Running a 12.5 @110 you should be in the 1.8x 60' range. Trapping 110, cutting 1.6x 60' you should be in the 12.2 range. Nice pics.
