Vader if you are still on stock rear gearing you should be able to go well past 89 at redline in 3rd. I believe the automatics, while having the same overall gear ratio, actually go a tad bit faster in a couple of the gears than the manual does. That said, I can hit somewhere around 108 - 110 in 3rd gear in my A6. So I'm thinking you should be able to get close to that in your car in 3rd gear.

I have 3.45 gear on 305/20s with an auto V6 and I'll pull 108mph in top of third. That puts me right about 6950 - 7000 RPMs at the end of the 1/4. I'm hoping to do some more testing this week also if the weather stays good. It's getting cooler let's see some good numbers folks!!!

That's crazy strange. I can hit 108 in third I'm not sure where 2nd is but I believe 1st is good for 38. I have 6MT with stock tranny and gearing.

If you don't trap over 100:

1) you didn't drive the car right

2) car is not running right.

That system is capable of much better than just trapping 100.

Best of luck to ya!

I doubt I'm driving the car that far off. I was running 14.5 @ 96mph bone stock. Never really got a clean run. The car drives great now just got it back.

Vader, I would SMOKE you in a race. Just sayin'.

Can't say that if you don't have anytimes to back it up.

Vader2011v6 · 09-26-2013, 10:50 PM

I definitely need a lot more practice with my driving.havent had a lot of seat time and track time in my car

Macrackie · 09-27-2013, 07:48 AM

If you were having clutch problems and redlined at 89mph in 3rd I would guess you were still over powering the clutch. I know my 2011 m6 will run to at least 100+mph in 3rd. I trapped at 98-99mph fairly stock with some rpm room left in 3rd gear.
