I only ran a 14.1 at 99 mph. I had left traction control on the whole time.
My next couple of runs started off with too much wheelspin.
I've learned to launch the car a lot better recently. I will be heading back to Englishtown (NJ) for more runs in a couple of weeks.
I have done a couple of unofficial runs (a little more than a 1/4 mile) against Stock S4s, APR Stage 2 chipped S4, a 320 hp Firebird, and a 320 hp Camaro SS. I easily beat the first 3, but had a had a more difficult time with the Camaro. I would have the Camaro until the 1/4 mile mark, but he would pass me at ~110 mph.
My friend with the S4 has the runs on video. He is purposely not letting me have a digital copy of the runs against the modified S4 because the Audi board would be too embarassed.

I'll let you know how I do on my next run at the strip.

TIA
