Russel, take a look at the picture carefully. And then try to realize why this post doesn't have a sticky on it and why everyone on the board isn't jumping up and down with joy. :)

I used my turbo timer which has built in 1/4 mile mode at the drag strip to see how accurate it is. The one time I used it, I ran a 13.5 @ 101 on the slip. The TT had my running a 12.9 @ 107. FWIW, timers like those will get you in the vicinity of what you're really running, but are almost always too fast. Every G-Tech story I've heard has them running .2-.7 seconds too fast when compared to drag strip timeslips. Atleast it looks like you have a 14 second car. :D

Stop using GTech's, bring your car to the track and post time slips. Otherwise you didn't really run the times you post.

Nahhhhh, you didn't beat me!
I counted out loud how many seconds, and got a 12 flat @ 110 (I think I saw 110...on the speedo.)

That is definately the manual, the tiptronic doesn't have any big mods out to make it that fast.... Where do you go to buy one of those G-tech thingys, and how much are they???

Thanks,

I think Phin was joking... If not then it certainly is fitting that you can get one at Walmart. But what do I know, I've never been in a Walmart.
