Default 1/4 mi tips ?

I just got a 98 a4 2.8 quattro. I'm trying to figure out the best way to launch the car, but I also don't want to break it I'm wondering if there are any racers on here with the same car, and what RPMs you launch at.

oh and btw: www.hoteleport.com/audi/audi.htm pics of the car, they were taken at night though, so excuse the darkness.

not necessary, just get your 1/4mi time, it'll be a good reference when you get your s/c

Default yeah.. as soon as my car is fixed I'd like to take it out. It's stock right now, but...

I'm gonna have about 4 grand to sink into pretty soon here so it should be a great reference. You think I'm crazy to through a s/c on a car with 90k miles?
