its m6 and it has 47,000 miles

 

If it's stock and in good condition, you're a good driver and aren't at a high altitude. You should be able to pull a 14 flat maybe a 13.8-13.9 if you can hammer the gears good.

 

I went 14.02 on a track with NO prep or whatsoever, elevating, and about 800-900 meters above sea level.
Oh, yeah, and with a full tank of gas
60'ft was 2.4 , 1/8m 9.4sec
See mods in sig.

 

Thats a good time, over here at our elevation you probably would have clocked off a 13.7.

 

Yeah, the first time I ran a 14.15 and was very dissapointed. I thought: Damn, those guys over there are runnin' like mid-to-low 13's with the same bolt-ons...
But then came an LS1 A4 Vette, and ran a 14.1 Than I was told that the "track" goes uphill.

BTW, what is exactly track preparation in the US? Special tarmac, some kind of rubber or what...?

 

Here in IL on a crappy track..in WI

Stock, I ran a 14.3 with a 2.4 60ft..

Pretty crappy

 

if its in good shape (which it sounds like it should be w/ only 47k) and you can drive descent, 13s shouldnt be a problem.

my '96 A4 2.73 car, which technically only has 10 more hp than you, ran a 13.62 @ 102 when stock.

13.6 stock? thats HELLA good...

where are u located???

 

what was your 60 ft time an d1/8 mile, if you remember.

 

just outside of Richmond VA. i normally run at Richmond Dragway which is at sea level. i ran that # this past season before i made any modifications whatsoever.

one thing to note- i ran that time ONE time. never did back it up. i made 3 more passes the same day after the 13.6 and went two 13.77s both at 101 and then a 13.80 @ 100. those runs were all in a row one right after the other so the car never had a chance to cool. the day was almost perfect as well. 60fts on all runs was 2.0X.

normally, the car runs 13.7s-.9s depending on the weather. in the dead of summer the heat/humidity can really take a toll.

1/8 on the 13.62 pass was 8.83 @ 81.34. 60ft was 2.01.

i would say about 14 to 13.9.....................wow...13.6 stock (i do realize you said you did this only once)......i hope mine runs that, i have yet to test to see....the only different in mine is i have a 3:23 gear ratio...........i have heard people saying 14.1- 14.3 is normal for our cars......i didnt like that ........i hope mine produces like yours does.........assuming i drive it as well and dont spin ........................anyways.....back to the post.........i think about 13.9 to 14..................much higher if you havnt really gotten the hang of driving it yet.......................thats my $.02
