4 tire fire baby! =)
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/129/garrettgt25.jpg"></center><p>Here's a quick vid, courtesy of a local BMW club member, from the Windy City BMW Club autocross this weekend at Maywood Park in Chicago.
Approximately 4500rpm launch. WOA Stage 2+ clutch. Kumho 225/45/17 R compound Victoracers.
The speed looks funny, but it's not the camera - when the car hooks up it gets out the box like a scalded rabbit. Too bad the slalom right after it was tight even for the Mini Coopers that were present.<ul><li><a href="http://users.rcn.com/raudi77/AWDBurnout.MPG">No sound unfortunately =(</a></li></ul>

Already have an aftermarket cooler
My OEM one appears to be weeping coolant. I'm gonna replace it in case the internal seal is near rupturing and mixing my coolant and oil. =/ They're known to fail on A4s and I have 70K on my car.
My aftermarket cooler is a Mocal setup like Steve SChmidt's and Dmak's, and it usually resides in the SMIC location, however, at the moment it's on a shelf in my garage waiting to have some of the lines redone.

1.9-2.0 seconds. I've found that burnouts, though good for $hits and giggles, are not the fastest
way to launch.
Best way that I've found is to blip the throttle, while just barely engaging the clutch a bit with each blip, attempting to build some load (and thus boost) on the momentum of the flywheel. Then when you're ready let out the clutch quickly, but don't drop it. If you do it right you can fly out of the hole without much or any wheelspin at all, but you still don't bog the engine either. Tough to do though.
