here is the post from the owner:
Just got back from the track and knocked almost 8/10th off my quarter mile times! If you haven't seen my previous post, the best time I was able to get with the car completely stock was 13.97@100.1mph. The weather was almost identical today. This is an A4 car with a little over 1500 miles. The car loves mods and responds very well to them. The mods responsible for this ET are:
- Vigilante 2600 stall converter
- BFG 275/40R17 Drag TA's on stock wheels (the fenderwell lip had to be rolled for these to clear)
- Removed 115 lbs from the car (motor skid plate, trunk brace, spare tire, jack, and wheel chocks, torque converter weighed 25 lbs. less than stock!) - most of this weight was removed at the track in about 20 minutes.
- Unifilter cold air intake
- Removed MAF screen
- Bypassed water through throttle body
The car was going consistent 1.8 60 ft/times with a best of 1.779. I think it will take either more motor or a higher stall converter to lower the 60 ft any more than this. I am happy with the 60 fts, but it still seems like the mph is a little low. After seeing Speed Inc's dyno results for their upcoming GTO headers, I think a set would easily put this car into the 12.80's. In the meantime, I have a ported throttlebody and an electric Meziere water pump coming. If we have another good weather day, it might run 12's even before the headers arrive!
Pretty good 60ft times from that IRS...bet you new GTO owners are feeling a little stoked :thumbsup
