Older drag vid.

Not the best run for me:



R/T.......1.367
60'.........2.469
330'.......6.459
1/8........9.743@74.96mph
1000'...12.584
1/4.......14.985@94.24

Was running the APR Stage 1 100 octane program on street radials with the spare tire removed. Lining up in the car was hard due to the DSG. I'd have to stop, roll a little to set the christmas lights, stop, engage launch control, look up, realize I was too far back, roll forward some more, wait a second to engage launch control again, then go. Not as easy as a manual. Engaging and re-engaging launch control is a huge pain in the ass. It always took a few seconds before engaging. That green light comes up hella quick too. Several times I was caught messing with launch control when it dropped. Still fun though. My best of the night unfortunately wasn't videotaped: 14.811@95.80mph. In the future, I will definitely just be using 91 octane gas. The extra HP and torque from 100 octane doesn't necessarily mean faster 1/4 mile times for FWD cars. Too much wheelspin off the line.
