Ran my best times with the gas light on.
DA was -537
Cloch and I both ran our personal bests. I’ll let him post up his results. Here are my top 3 of 16 runs total:
12.556 @ 110.57
12.557 @ 110.89
12.568 @ 110.98 (…So close to 111)

Up for personal bests!
12.5 in a fat ass a6? Very impressive. Pump gas I assume?
Ya S5 was a no-show. Maybe duster will chime in here.
My setup:
2011 S4
APR Stage 2v2 93 tune
93 fuel
Milltek Non-Resonated Exhaust
Roc-Euro Intake with Primetime wrap
Brand new Michelin PSS on 19" peelers
My five best times:
12.307 @ 112.89 (including spare, ~ 1/8 tank gas)
12.312 @ 111.92 (including spare, ~ 1/8 tank gas)
12.351 @ 113.09 (spare removed, ~ 1/4 tank gas)

I made 17 additional passes, most of which were in the 12.4-12.5 range. Think I ran one or two 12.6s as well.
While I did set a new personal best, I was hoping to break into the 12.2s. Perhaps I could have done that with the 12.307 run if I had remembered to remove the spare. Ynnekdude arrived about 20 minutes after I made that pass and reminded me about the spare. Still, I think I’m close to plateauing with my current setup. I suspect with my lighter winter wheels, spare removed, and similar DA, I could run a little better - but probably not much.
I’ll update this post with time slips and a video of my best run.
As always, it was a great time, and we never really had to wait.
Yeah low 12s on 93 with normal everything (wheels brakes etc) is just about right. You might save another 2 or 3 tenths with removing 50-75 lbs of rotating mass (45-48 lb wheel/tire combo, lw rotors) and then ditch the spare, and run with the cat at 1/16 tank of gas.
But 12.30@112 is very solid for reasonably simple mods.
Yep 93!
Here’s the video of my best run:
Props to Ynnek for breaking his previous record as well. Is that the fastest 3.0 A6 we know of?
One more thing - I know I’m going to get flamed for this . . .
I made a pretty colossal mistake on the first run of the day with Ynnekdude. For some strange reason, I went too far in the staging area and lined up the beams with my rear tires. The guy working the staging area tapped on my window and told me I needed to back up so my front tires were lined up instead. So I was communicating with him until I was properly staged . . . and then completely forgot to put the car back in drive.
Then I launched - in reverse! I caught it immediately, though - and then just went on my way down the track in shame. I was lucky that neither of the two guys working the staging area were standing behind me or anything. It was fucking embarrassing - I must have completely lost concentration. But it’s a mistake I definitely won’t make again.
And, needless to say, the video of all that will NOT be posted lol
Okay, let the flogging begin.
lol I have that time slip… 18.182 @ 78.94 :o … 6.613 60’!

That is great. Good you arent too proud to cop to it. Says a lot in my book frankly. Good stuff. Now share that vid!
that’s awesome
I’ve seen that happen a couple of times. IT’s never on a domestic lol. Saw it on an R8 on youtube once too…
Ha - thnx. Figured I might as well share with everyone. But I think I’m holding firm on posting the video.
I’d like to see the R8 video, though!
Pics or it didnt happen 
clochner - that is freaking hilarious!
I’m mildly surprised that nobody saw your reverse lights and stopped the lights from going off!
I’d pay good money to see that in person…haha
1 The guy controlling it is standing right beside you usually, not behind. Right beside the driver.
2 they love when fancy import guys fuck up, so even if they did lol
