Went to the dragstrip on Friday. Only got 2 runs in, my BEST was 16.994 @ 82.25 mph. This seems pretty slow. Is that normal time for a bone-stock A4 1.8TQ automatic (non-tip)?
Seems kind of sluggish coming off the line. My 60ft. time was 2.481

 

seems about right...a little slow

 

I was guesstimating that it would run roughly mid to low 16's. My first run was 16.994 with the engine still fairly warm. My second run was with a nearly cold engine, and I turned in 17.25 on that run. 60 ft. time was nearly identical, but top speed was down a couple mph.
My buddy that was with me said that with the engine being cooler, the ECU may have pulled the timing a bit.
Had my VAG-COM & laptop with me, but I wasn't famillar enough with it yet to log the run. Hopefully next time I can.

 

Guess it's time to chip eh?

 

Yeah, I'm thinking...

 

ouch, check other stats to compare to. or u can mod it, and get better times.

 

Yeah, mods will definately come. Just wanted to get baseline numbers prior to any mods, so I can see what kind of improvements were made.

 

what were your 1/8 mile times and speeds?

 

Shon: 1/8 time on my "fast" run (I use the term loosely) was 10.971 @ 64.18 mph.
