Cool

It should boil down to driver(s) , really - a '99 Z would be in the mid 13's bone stock w/ a good driver & good conditions, but you could get a freak either way.

Run 'em & find out !!!

Oh, it looks like you got a nice running '92 there.

It can definitely go both ways. Some run low 13's, others (like mine) are high 13's. Since he's got the 3.23's he should be right there with you.

I touched 140 mph in my 2.73 geared a-4.
Not sure , but I thought mine had a speed limmiter ? Some guy told me that with the 2.73 geared cars they are limited to 130.
Mine hit 140 and the car was floating
still had more in it, but sanity chimed in and saved the day.

If you have the non-Z rated tires (RSAs? I think) then you will have a governer at 140 or so.

I the 3.23 A4, top speed will be 155 - 160 mph in overdrive. With a 2.73 gear car, the A4 will do the same speed but in third gear.

My 1/4 mile is around 12.85 at 109. The TC I have helps the lower time. My O-60 about 4.6 seconds.

Yep, that's it. Might be able to squeeze a little more, but not much. Haven't tried with mods, but too scared to on my Kumho tires.

My best quarter is a 14.7 with loudmouth and a lid. Elevation sucks.
