[s-cars] 1/4 mile results

[Dave Burig]

Great Post...Thanks!
Multiple 5000 RPM launches?  Lee Harvey! You are a madman! When you stole
that cow? And your friend tried to make it with the cow? I wanna party with
you.
I had more than one of my employees walk into my office while
watching/listening to your footage with the audio turned way up.
Nice!
13.925.  Damn. When I grow some hair on my pair, I'll join you for a day at
the strip.

I was afraid to post the results from our trip to Clay City, KY 1/4 mile
dragstrip over the past few days because with the tar/featherin' that took
place I thought the post would get lost in the shuffle.  First off, I have
to completely DISMISS any G-Tech claims I made in the past.  Although I
still feel it may be fairly consistent, it is (was) 2.5920873 % optimistic
when compared to an actual 1/4 mile run.  Anyone interested can check out
the following link:   http://www.outdoorextremes.com/toppage1.htm  I was
surprised to see stock LT1 Z-28s running low 14's @ 95-96,  stock WRX's
running low 14's @ 92-93, I ran a best of 13.925 @ 96+ and if I had more
than 3 runs I would've figured out better shift points to raise the trap
speed.  I couldn't believe how hard it was to hook up at the track:  2wd
cars need the extra traction at the line, but our cars HATE it!  My car runs
much better on a cold street with no rubber build-up, able to spin at the
launch to keep revs up and lessen driveline trauma.  I got the pleasure of
talking to a guy from Lexington that owns a shop and ran a 1983 UrQuattro
with a claimed 600 hp and time of 11.22 @128. Complete ground up restoration
was beautiful.  He seemed to really know VW/Audi's yet wasn't too cocky.  He
is already trying to point me in a direction other than RS2 come spring (my
wife already hates this guy!).  Sorry for the long download time for the
site, dial-up guys will take a while.  The way my car ran at the track, I
wasn't really happy with the time or especially speed but on that day
amongst some really big power, that was about all she had.  I could maybe
drop some time/add some mph but it would take some more runs to figure out
lower shift points.  To recap, all I've done to my 95 S6 is an MTM stage 1+
and a hi-flow custom (local) exhaust.  To all you guys that told me to stuff
the G-Tech, consider it stuffed.  But to those who are happy to accept low
to mid 14's for a modded S4/6, don't sell your car short--they can go to the
track and not be too embarrassed.
