Go to the track and find out for yourself. One of the worst things I see is people EXPECTING certain things out of their car, then going home disappointed later on. Get to the track several times, learn how to launch your car off the line and see what she's worth.

Re: How fast is my car?

With an auto, with 3.23 gears probably 14.0 at 98 or 99. If you have 2.73, 14.2 at 97. Thats from my own experience with 2.73 gears and what I have seen at the track. With a flawless launch 13.8.

Re: How fast is my car?

93' A4 2.73 car with cat-back and tuning along with heavy chrome 5 spokes, full tank of gas, jack and spare still in car I whipped out a 13.8 @ 99 MPH with a 2.00 60'

It all depends on many circumstances. Track prep, condition of ur running vehicle, driver, air temp, track temp, etc.....

Re: How fast is my car?

I have learned that the driver is a very big variable. There is a difference in how fast a car "can be" and how fast it is with a particular person driving it. People told me my car was a 13.75ish car but I can tell you with me driving it is a 14.1-14.2 car...at least for now. Maybe an auto would be different but launching a mostly stock M6 is definitely not as easy as you might think. Still fun though. But seeing what other similar cars can run I will agree with most of the posts and say high 13s.
