Went to the strip to see what she'd do

[Joe B.]

Stock '17 V6, a6, 3.15's, 17" Hankooks, Rousch cat backs the only mod, 1/2 tank of 93, 75 degrees, 5 runs, brake torque in S to about 2k, let her rip and shift automatically. Haven't been to the drag strip in a while, all the runs were pretty consistent, so I guess I won't be seeing 13's any time soon. But it was exciting and I probably could do a little better.

Don't care about anything other than it means my car is faster than stock after all, I definitely need a driver mod too but never ran mine stock to know what it really might have done compared to magazine times.

I think my best time was something like 13.8 and best speed was just over 101.

Fun every run for sure!

C&D claimed a 14.1@102 on a '15 auto. My +hitch/-mufflers math added a net of 26#. Add a spare tire, so maybe on a perfect run, I could come close to that. My dream was a 13.999. I always roll 3.73's and a tune around in my mind, but at this point I don't think that's going to happen. To many tradeoffs and I like the car as it is. If I need a faster car, like you said in another thread, I'll trade up. My last 2 fun cars were Corvettes, one which I modded extensively, so that's pretty much out of my system and why I bought the V6.

I feel you! I've got the spare tire in the back, Noico sound deadening, sub box, and random stuff in the trunk too.

Which Corvettes did you have? I'm so looking forward to 5 years from now to get a C8, finally saw one on the road again and it was beautiful!!

Well, here's a C8 that was at the track, did not see his times, but I don't think he was pushing it. I had a '91 coupe that I spent a lot of time and money on, then traded it for a new '12 GS 'vert, which I put 40k road trip miles on and loved. Too OCD about it though. One reason I'm in the V6.

My best N/A FBO 2017 A6 was 13.97 w/ 3000 DA in Arizona. Mods were:

-Modified stock intake
-P3 ported upper and lower intake manifolds
-BBK ceramic coated longtube headers
-BBK highflow catted H-pipe
-AFe Mach Force XP 3” catback
-Mishimoto 160* thermostat
-3.55 gears
-Unleashed 91 Race tune

I’m Procharged now. Can’t wait to get her back out to the track.
