As I previously posted, I hit Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove WI today to get some baseline runs for my '13 S6.
Hardly anyone there when I arrived, so got as many runs in as I wanted to between about 11 and 12:30.
Conditions were great, with DA calculating to about -277 feet.
Car is bone stock, nothing removed for weight savings. 1/8 tank of 93 octane. Best run shown below:
Track conditions were typical GLD - Launch control caused too much wheelspin, so this result is from the “mash and go” technique. Results are right in line with magazine tests, so about what I expected. Car was very consistent - no evidence of any heat soak, despite several back-to-back runs. Thank you, good conditions! (solo run, so R/T meant nothing. My best 2 R/Ts were .250 and .288)
Now the question is whether to mod or not. Car is CPO, and my DD, so part of me wants to keep the warranty. The other part of me is affected by the red mist, and says DO IT!
Decisions, decisions…
