A4 or M5? If A4 what are you stalling to? Those 60's need to come down some. Get those around 2.2 and you'll be much happier with your times.

It is a M5
I was very disappointed with those times.

Stock 3.4 should run about 16.6 to 16.8, so your time isnt that bad, especialy if you raced in 90* heat. But yeah, your 60' should be around 2.2-2.4, that way you could have about .4 sec off your 1/4 mi time. I also have 3.4 95 Camaro with just exhaust and I ran 16.2@82 with 2.2 60', but mine is A4. You should try it again in colder weather and work on your launch. Good luck.

Next time I go to the track im going to lower my tire psi in the rear to try and launch faster without much tire spin.

work on the launch, I think a 2.3 60's evne a 2.2 is very attainable.

Do not worry too much about tire psi, just keep it at roughly 32 psi, and feather the clutch a little at the launch.

there is no way in hell that car will get into the 15s without many more mods.

I ran 16.8 at 84 back last summer when the car was new. I let it break in a little, got exhaust, gears, tried it a few months later, and BAM, 15.8 @ 87. That's not too bad for a 3.4 though. You could get a little more out of it though. A good 1/4 time takes hard work to make the car run just right, and a little luck.
