I did 5 quarter mile runs, the slowest being 13.86 and the fastest being 13.42

0-60 mph slowest was 5.66 and the fastest 5.19

Now I didn'te do the video but used my iPhone and at least one thing is accurate is that it has been consistant against it's self. Over the past 100+ runs I was getting a constant of between 6.1 and 6.2 in the 0-60 mph times and 14.5 and 14.8 in the quarter mile.

My tires were hard to keep from spinning and I have a new problem. That new problem is how to get a good launvh without spinning the tires.

The only oddity is that nothing seems to be reset on the instument panel. Oil life, windows, etc.

So, I want you 'slow' guys to remove the #5 and #20 fuses to reset whatever it is that it resets. I'm not telling you to do this but do it at your own risk. Not that it's dangerous as far as damage but because I don't know, I'm not an expert.

Soooooooo there you have it. I'm going back out later to do some more. I thought that maybe my phone was malfunctioning but the wheel spin was a dead giveaway.

I hope it stays this way. Let us know what you guys find if you do this.

OK, UPDATED WITH VIDS.
The first one is one of the better ones I did a while back.
The second two were today.

iPhone showed 5.24 0-60 mph, and 13.37 quarter mile.

iPhone showed 5.41 0-60 mph and 13.56 quarter mile.

this is the fuse box under the hood correct .im not sure if there is 2 thanks

To prove that your car works you should film yourself doing some smokey ass donuts.

The permagrin was from the car, right? or did the Mrs. buy you some Crown Royal?

Croathlete · 08-24-2009, 04:34 PM

Congrats Randy and Scott. Is there really any risk to pulling these fuses? Not really sure if I have a fast A6, never really timed it.

TC508K · 08-24-2009, 05:02 PM

So where do I find the fuses???

From what I can tell, the fuse panel is on the passenger's side strut tower, on the front. Pull the panel cover, and there you go.

Congrats bro! When is the rematch with your old lady?

I'm a gin and tonic guy.

But now that the car is right, I'm a guy with nothing to keep permagrin off my face. lol

As far as risk, I don't know. But I had to try it.

She said she's retiring on top.

Don't worry, Bonnie will come out of retirement for a great comeback match... they always do... you just gotta build up the hype for it first

haha
