Default FIRST TIME at track with numbers!!!!!

Ok so last night was the first time i took my car up to the track...The weather was perfect and the temp was in the high 70's...Ok so the track was an 1/8 mile...My best run of the night believe it or not was my first run hahaha...So keep in mind these are numbers with an auto mustang...

Reaction-.65
60 ft-2.1
330 ft-6.07
1/8 ET-9.27
1/8 MPH-76.6

How'd i do for my first time at the track?

not bad but you should be mid 8s with those mods. keep practicing, get that 60' down some and youll knock a lot off.

nitto DRs are a great combo if you hit the track every once in a while, and do a lot of street driving. for stock rims the 275 would be great for you

you can fit up to 275's on the stock rims, that's what i'm running on mine. depending on how much longevity you want from your rear tires, i'd go with drag radials. i've heard that Nittos don't wear quite as fast as other brands, and they'll definitely give you a lot better grip than your all seasons.

tell your buddy he drives like sh*t. isn't the rs4 an all-wheel-drive? or am i thinking of something else?

well id say your missing some power? cuz traping 76 when you ran a 2.1 60 with gbears doesnt seem right? i trap 80 when im heavy and with a 2.1 60 wouldnt think theres a 4mph diff with an auto...

I think you should be faster. My 96GTS is doing 9.2s at the 1/8th too right now. Its automatic too. My mods right now are. 373s with lightweight driveshaft, steeada springs and tokico shocks. Engine mods are plenum spacer, trickflow plenum. I Dont even have a CAI kit on. I am doing low 14s when I catch grip on my street tires. I power break and my 60ft is a 2.0 and really close to a 1.9

Not bad for your first time, just get some practice and stickier tires and you'll do much better, 4.10s need stickier tires or a very well prepped track. BTW is that a custom tune, if not, you might want to get one.
