Default How's the pedal feel? I like the light feel of the RS4...

I posted the only run which I could get into second.

Default WTF?! That's outstanding for launch, trap and rowing!

That's got to be a record for full weight, pump gas, catted exhaust.

My best trap w/ PJ K04s, 93 and cats back in was low 115s. Temps in the mid-upper 50s. I won't even mention the ET :-(

Default Yea, but the pause between shifts was nauseating... I lost so much speed there...

I may have a video tonight. The 1-2 shift was so silly, lol.

I guess it may be some sort of record, but the car has so much more in it.

Me too. It took two 13's with 2 tries on each shift before I got that one.

Default That's pretty-much what I always do...

Just hold 3500rpm and stab the throttle and release the clutch when the 3rd amber lights. I was a couple hundreths early on that launch though... Clutch was engaging lower than usual because the PP was f'd.

Of course, on a full-weight car, I think it's pretty rough on Pressure plates, lol.
