I chirped fourth on a stock engine (not even headers) with a stage 3 ceramic clutch. Very doable.

My car is far from stock but its funny how you're all talking about chirping the tires, i have crappy goodyear eagle 275's and this maybe why.. but i never chirp.. they just break loose in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd if i want them to.. could be the new 4.10's i just got a few weeks ago I'm afraid to go to the track just because I know I'm lacking in the traction department. but anyway jasons93z congrats on ur car.. they are fun i'll say that at the least and the maintenance too

Just because their built on the same assembly line doesnt mean there gonna run the exact same time. I've seen 2 LS1's with under 5k miles dyno stock and seen a 15rwhp difference in dynos. Every engine is gonna dyno different, get a different drivetrain loss, etc even though they were built with the exact same specs. Computers are not "that" sophisticated yet.

Jsut cause its under 5K miles doesnt mean their were treated equal in them 5K miles though. Im sure if I had an extra 10 or 20K $ a year laying around I'd be THAT much more likely to beat the **** out of my vehicles ... So maybe on guy was way easier on his car then the other. One could be running all synthetics, or a cleaner filter, Could have been ran at high temperatures ... theres so many variables. And im not saying it wont vary from one car to another, but there is no such "freak" a stronger motor ( By stronger i mean Less then a 10RWHP difference ) due to some minoote ( Spellin ??? ) differences in the tolerences )

Also, if their not dynoed on the same day within an hour of each other, id consider the differences as jsut being air density/temperature changes as well ... Or how hot or cold the engine is at the time of the pull ...

a baby fell of a 5 story building and didnt have a scratch on him...

the point is that anything is possible.

please respect other people's opinions. it's not doing anyone any harm if the man believes his car is a freak.

he has a good motor. he's lucky.

sounds like you have a healthy car, take it the track, the true speed indicator
when i bought my car it was bone stock 62K miles with 2.73 gears. i had to catch it just right to even spin the tires at all.....
if 3 ppl was in the car forget about it would not spin for nothing unless it was wet.....
this was with the same greasy tires i have now...

oh btw at the track the other day there was a bone stock 95z28 A4 running 15.2 at 94mph......ill bet mine was that slow when i bought it
