Anything from 13.0 to 14.0 . Speeds from ~103 - 108 mph.

Depends on how well your car can hook up, how it's geared, and if it's an M6 (manual 6-speed) how well you can launch and shift .

"Average" times for the LS1's are around ~13.5's, but typically range from 13.3 - 13.6.

You may not know where to post this but wherever it is you need to post all the info.
You have to include what trans and the options that the car came with. Such as is it a t-top car with leather and all the options. Or is it a stripper hard top?
Another thing that we need to know is where you are. What state and track and what's the weather like?
A stock fully loaded A4 SS at a 5000' elevation track in the middle of the summer will run mid 14s.
A stock stripper M6 SS at 0' elevation in the cool air can run high 12s.

hmm...i took it ot twice and my best was 13.8 @ 105.96 on a cool day. i know i launched kinda easy but not that easy and the car seemed to run strong. i don't know the condition of the clutch and the pedle stuck against the floor but no clutch slipage. is that what i should expect or you think something is a little off?

Practice maybe (not meant as an insult). I've dragged Auto's and given i've never dragged a Manual I know damn well my first several times would suck.

Your MPH isn't bad.


Got the complete time slip?

No you have the MPH to run right where you should. You just need to practice getting off the line as hard as possible without blowing the tires away and shifting faster/better and maybe at a higher rpm.

Not bad MPH at all for a stock car. ET is all about the launch. If you aren't launching, you aren't ETing.
