wish we had vid of the red B8 GIAC 91 car when I beat him in my RS4. It would have been funny because of this. This was back when he was stock lol
[quote=seinsmeld]Sakimano, I see you have a B7, I invite you to drive my Stronic B8 S4 at our next meet. First we will have a drag I’m sure I will leave your car in my dust.

When I posted my timeslips after that, and quoted him he kind of relented and we had a laugh about it. Still would have been funny to get our run on vid.
Good work on the videos guys. Mine were all shit. I fucked up the exposure (all were over) and don’t know what I’m doing with that thing yet. Got some good pics of the cars who stayed later.
Next time we’ll just get bora’s phone hooked up to a battery pack and use that! I thought I’d spent most of the day just hanging out but I got a few videos in and many runs.
I had 13 passes. Cayuga is great in the early spring and late fall. Summer is insanely busy though.
GOOD WORK on the thread bango
p.s. this was pretty cool to see. Both guys’ best pass of the day I believe
jspazz’s B8 S4 vs NotoriousVR’s B5 S4: slip | vid
Thanks for the kind words, we did manage to collect some good real world data that day. It’s great to see a list like that and then realise it was just a bunch of people having a laugh; no egos, no keyboard racing, just people that like cars.
http://www.caranddriver.com/features/surprise-speed-tournament-mercedes-benz-e63-amg-wagon-vs-audi-r8-page-6 - just reading that C63 should’ve been running mid-12’s. Now THAT would’ve been a good race with stockimano.
NotoriousVR ran faster than that run. There’s two slips in the linked photo, check the one on the right:
And other reasons drag racing your street car is cool:
lol you’re lucky it wasn’t 'one run over 140 kph on the 403 = $365 to the OPP
you found a nice cop!
Lol stockimano. Definitely took a swipe out of most of the fastest stock B8s with that time, and many tuned ones, any hating on B8 S4s from Saki is legit to me, and hard-earned…
Wait a minute did you lose any runs that day…?
Lost one out of 13…to some fucker in a white Audi
Shit… lol I totally forgot…
Sure you did.
Anyone remember what that Coxster was running? The guy who insisted on going 60 kmh in staging and the parking areas.
Bangoman… Awesome post bud! And it was an excellent day! Hopefully we’ll do it again soon!
Thanks 81, hope a fix comes along for the DSG 1-2 hang-ups. We want 11’s from the B8’s… your exhaust sounds good. Not as good as the V8’s but a bit depressed it’s the B6/7’s bringing up the rear though!
LOL…
…so now you know how to get 1.7 sec 60’ everytime, on wheels/tires that crush the scales…
Slips here…hey I may have both Prime and Bear beat here…did a .007 RT on the run I forgot the traction control on… lol the diesel truck next to me lost by 0.04 seconds.
Some guys don’t care about RT…I do though…it’s a race still, isn’t it?
If I tree the guy next to me by 0.25 sec, who gutted his 11.86 second B8 to my 12.08 pig, he didn’t beat me, he just has a faster car.
I also feel I lost my 12.13 run below because I redlighted -0.018.
Curious how everyone else thinks.

Edit for crappy tapatalk hosted pics.
test and tune is test and tune.
rt irrelevant unless you’re brscket racing or series racing. Just fun more than anything but all it does is take your attention off the rest of the stuff you shoukd be doing in prep for the run… We’re there to use the strip to test our cars…not our tree skills
you can 3.0 rt or redlight…all that matters is ET…unless its a preorganized rt+et run
that’s how I feel
bangoman, where’s your timeslip for the 13.4? I need to add it to the B6/7 list
edit: nvmind…found it
They flew out of the window.
just to update the original list… I was running Sunoco 94 only… no meth.
