I went out to my local 1/8 mile this past Thursday.

I hadn't taken my 2014 to the dragstrip before this. My car is a completely stock 2014 2LT/RS A6 Camaro. I had been to a 1/8 mile dragstrip before but that was in my 2011 which I traded in a few months ago. I didn't do to bad, I just have to work on my R/T times as they weren't they greatest. I got about 6 passes by the end of the night. I averaged about 9.5 ET and was able to dial in my R/T to about a .2 or so on average. This is the 3rd time I have ever run on a dragstrip. Definitely want to do this on a more constant bases. I was the only newer car, beside my mom in her 2013 2LS. It was her first time so she only ran her car twice. I beat her both times, but I'm not going to brag because it was her first time out at a dragstrip. Here is a picture of my best run of the night. Like I said my R/T weren't the greatest so go easy on me there.

Here are some pictures from the night.

You should have let Mom win LOL. You need to go on the third yellow that will help your R/T don't wait for the green.

Yea I know at first my problem was I waiting to see the 3rd yellow to hit the gas and eventually by the end of the night I figured out I need to hit the gas when the 3rd yellow shows up. Hope that makes sense. With an A6 transmission should I just leave the car in Sport Mode or actually up shift on my own with the paddles. I really didn't see a difference in time when I left in sport mode vs shifting myself. When I was shifting I was up shifting at about 6000 rpm.

Do what works best for you. Some do good with the paddle shift. Keep trying in spot mode and T/C off and see how that work's.
