It's not as easy as people might think, especially on tracks with bad prep.

That's why lots of people run slow 60' times in A6s.

Bad weather and a car that most likely (I don't know your miles) isn't broken in, those are pretty standard times Get your 60ft times under 2 seconds, and you will be in the 13's no problem.
