Drag Strip - last visit of the season...with photographic proof!!
Like Primetime, I headed out to the strip (Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove Wisconsin) with another forum participant this morning for a few runs.
Great day to hit the strip - not many cars there, and we were able to go around and around with almost no delay. Seriously, my timeslips are about 4 minutes apart in most cases, which is awesome. I went with another forum member, and even have video of one of his runs, but I'll let him share his details when he has time...<grin>
My best run was 12.797 @ 109.07, which is also a personal best in this car.
60' time was a few hundredths off my best, but MPH is pretty stout for STaSIS ECU flash+AWE intake only. The only thing I've added since my previous best of 12.9 @ 105.8 is the AWE intake, so it seems like the intake opened up the top end for better MPH.
Oh, and given the recent spate of ET fabrications on the various forums lately, here's proof that I was actually at the track today. (My car is now in "winter" mode, with 18" RS4 reps and Dunlop WinterSport M3 tires.)
(2011 Prestige DSG, 1/8 tank of 93, STaSIS ECU/AWE Intake)
Had a great time!

Yeah, I kinda thought that might come up, so how about this?
Proof that mine was "car 102", as shown on the time slips I posted..
I'll have witness confirmation (fully notarized by an attorney) later today.... ;-P

Great stuff, ZCD - Like I said, that winter wheel setup is awesome! Great job with your new personal best in the 12.7s! Had a blast yesterday - working now on uploading my videos . . .

good to see you broke through ZCD
what was your best stock time? Not sure if you ever went stock. The AWE might have helped, but don't discount the value of 18" wheels that weigh probably 25 lbs (if VMR they're 25.6...and if they're another brand at 18x8.0 they're even lighter) vs. the 30lb stockers.

Wheels/tires are the same as when I ran the 12.9.
