ummm? 13.9 and 13.6? I think he meant, 12.9 and 12.6? My Gti stock 1/4 mile time is 13.9 at 101... and my cobalt is about the same @ 104. I want to see the TTRS
Keep in mind that they are testing in a airfield tarmac not a 1/4 Track.Quote:

I want a RS3!!
I do understand there is a lot more to the 1M than straight line speed, but they should have equipped it with a JB4 from the factory!
My times are unscientific (steering wheel), but I have done significantly better than that time on normal tarmac :) ... and I'm at altitude .. with a fat heavy car (it is with me inside!)
The 1M needs wider rubber.
anyone notices that he calls it a dct automatic lol...
LOL...Here comes Sticky to the rescue!Quote:

The video calls the Audi an automatic (not this again) and suggests it would win by a larger margin in the rain (as if drag racing the rain is smart or desired) leading both comments to sound, well, stupid.

They didn't use a drag strip for timing. The point is just to look at the time and MPH difference not the final numbers as Brits don't know how to drag race or time properly.Quote:
