When my car was completely stock with about 110k miles on it I ran a 14.8@93 best.

This year I went back to the strip. I learned how to launch it, removed spare tire and jack, and installed an SLP cold air intake and I dropped my best down to a 14.4@97 with a 2.1 60' time. My car is kind of tired because of the high mileage though . You should run a comparable time to my 2nd time or maybe a little better.

If your car is in good condition and assuming everything is running ok, it's capable of high 13's trapping a hair under 100mph, a little faster if it's a 6spd. Do a search for stock 1/4 times. That will answer your question better.

Cool name by the way.

I had never been to the track, but had driven my '97 for 6 years and thought that I could drive it well.

The track is much different than the street. I've only been to the track once so far. My best was 14.4@98 stock with a 2.2 60'. The weather was terrible for times though. 86 deg, 80% humidity. I was hoping to break into the 13's, but was disappointed. I think with cooler, dryer weather, that run would have been about 14.0@100 easy.

Anyways, the track prep was so good that I kept bogging the engine. With the amount of gas I gave it, I would have normally had a little slip off the line. Not with the sticky track. Be careful of that, depending on how good the track is.(and whether you have an M6 or A4)

I also think that you'll run 14.0 - 14.6 @96-98. With good weather, like we have this time of year, you may break into the 13's. This is all assuming that the car is running well.

Good luck!

Dan
