First 1/4 Mile

I understand that the M2c is not a quarter mile machine but I had to try it at least once in my life. First time and I could have a better reaction time but it was fun! #5 for the win! It waa hot and humid as hell!

I dunno, from all the drag racing I've seen/done, this is pretty respectable for crappy conditions and your first time out! 60' time under 2 seconds is a solid launch if this is on stock tires(?)

DCT or MT?

After reading your post, I would not have guessed you ran a 12.3. That is a really good time in my opinion, I don’t know what anyone else has ran.

That's very nice! Not too many cars that can do low 12s out of the box.

Haha thanks! It was around 100 degrees and 90% humidity! Stock tires, stock everything. It is a DCT and launch control was activated.

Great job. That’s a good time in those conditions for a rwd car. I am going to put mine though all my Draggy test once broke in. I know it’s a sub 4 second 0-60mph car. I got really good at doing performance runs along the years with the RS4, 911’s, etc.. There is a lot of techniques I have learned along the way to get good fast honest runs. I detest all these so called motor journalists using factory reported times or doing a few generic tests in less than ideal conditions. These guys “assume” launch control is the fastest.

Nice run man. Feels great to run a low 12 right? I'm going to the quarter mile soon. Tracking is the most fun, but nice to get into the low 12's.

It was a rush of adrenaline for sure! I will try to go this wekeend to see how consistent can I be because I only did 1 run since it started raining.

Pretty good ET for first time out stock. I would have figured the MPH a little faster but could be due to conditions.

I ran 11.7@120 with a JB Stage 1 earlier this year.

Yeah, that's no fun at all.
Did you have a chance to adjust tire pressure, or do you know what it was set to?

To the OP, that's a very respectable result. That 60ft time isn't all that bad either.
