and you make "slip or dump" sound so easy. With auto, you just get off the brake and mash the gas..
all depending on tires, but the same goes for manual. Easing one pedal off (clutch) while feathering the other (gas) is not as simple.

We can sit here and go back and forth all day, or you can concede, like I have, to the fact that we
have differences in our opinions. I think they both take as much practice, you dont. No real mystery here.

Are you sure you're in chipped mode?
I had no problem running low 15's at ~90mph with my APR chipped 99.5 A4 Avant with Borla exhaust.
Those number even look weak for a non-chipped A4. Maybe you have a boost leak or something?

It wasn't great because it was my baseline runs for the future (a bit of a story)...
at the time the car had all stock equipment except for a crate 300HP 350 engine. My best was a 15.0 on a limited slip rear. I ended up doing headers, true dual exhaust conversion, full MSD ignition, coil, distributor, hollow cats, heads (with higher compression), TH400 trans with a higher stall, rear, plus had a Holley 650 and electric fuel pump with a 150 shot waiting. I was so close to finishing and I don't know what came over me. I even had the timing retard box installed and was working on adding a fuel cell. I think the fuel system work discouraged me and I was reluctant to use the juice. I never did finish it and I got tired of working on cars for a while (I was 18). So, I never ended up running it again :-(
