^^^ Well then I would have to agree with you about the outcome. (motor vs. motor) But I can't be sure..... that car might be making more then I think. It has every bolt on plus cams. It could run low-mid 12's.

If the driver has picked up any skill, and uses the juice, he should have this one pretty easily.

Yeah if the drive can get his launches under control he should take the cake.

So we raced tonight going to go watch fast & furious... we got a light and a couple highway runs

0-100MPH = me by 4 lengths (helluva launch on my part, he had 305/18 Nitto drag radials to my 245/17 street radials as well)

50-150MPH = me by 2 lengths

40-120MPH(my dead spot) = me by 1 length

all runs were done with the stang off the bottle due to the fact it was empty

we are going to get the bottles filled tomorrow and will post result with stang on spray hopefully tomorrow

got the dig race on film... my computer iss back home however and it will be awhile before I can upload it

lol, nice

what suprised me the most is even through the fat drag radials, suspension mods, 4.10's and a lighter car... off the line I obliterated him... starting from 0MPH it was just a strong steady pull in my favor

this race is a prime example of why I think M6 GTO's ruin the reputation of the GTO due to the fact nobody can get the crappy gearing to bite through the mediocre rear suspension setup

there is ALOT better launching capabilities in the A4... and although some vette drivers here like to poke fun at the fact I think I can launch fairly well, I think in this case the writing is on the wall.... or the video in this case

we shall see if the gas makes any difference

If you had DRs, would they help make a great launch more consistent?

The truth^^^ My A4 always had very consistent -2.1 60's at the track. The M6 guys just couldn't do it. Good run, Morbid. I wasn't expecting you to pull so hard on him. Do you think a better driver would've made any difference, or did your car simply beat his set-up? How did the vid turn out?
