Default Chipped APR 1/4 Mile times are HORRIBLE

I went to the track yesterday for the first time with my 2001 1.8TQ Auto A4 and was dissapointed to see the 1/4 mile times. I had 5 runs and here are the results:

17.3 at 82
17.3 at 82
17.2 at 82
17.2 at 82
17.2 at 83

The 0-60 foot time was 2.9 seconds. This is horrible. My friends ford escort had better 0-60 foot time. What can be wrong here? I was thinking I would run in the 15's.

Default 2.9 60ft is horrible man. Even just stomping on the gas at the green should net you a better 60 ft.

FWD cars on street tires usually get a 2.5-2.0
AWD cars on street tires usually get a 2.1-1.7

These are for stick cars of course. I noticed your running an auto - anyone know the stock stall on an auto a4 (as in what rpm can you safely hold at the line)?

A4 slushbox is less than ideal for quarter mile runs. Get a Cobra.

I was behind a nice sounding Cobra the other day (94-98 style), but it had clear taillights. *puke*
