    Ok Im goin to the strip next week and have never been. Everyone says my car is slow and a POS. So what do you think the car will run?(mods in sig)My friends 98 3.8 a4 bird with a drop in Kn and just a flowmaster muffler ran a 15.2. So i am hoping for like a 15.8. he drove my car and said its almost as quick as his.

        If you have the 3.4L I would have to concur with Nathan. Probably mid to low 16's.

          I would concentrate on what he said.
          That way if you do better then you'll be happy.
          If you worry about getting a low 16 you might be dissapointed.

                  Considering thats what the car ran stock and its fairly modified i think the car is a little faster than that

                    Just go and have fun.

                    My worst time was 17.2.

                    First time out was 16.6

                    Take a look at the top of the drag racing section.

                    Lots of good suggestions
