S8 in Bandimere
I went with some friends yesterday (Wednesday) to Bandimere and it was so much fun. I saw a white S8 runing 16.3 secs. the best ... I didn't run my A4, my roommate ran his E46 M3 and the best time was 14.4 secs.
I was a little shocked when I saw how bad the cars were doing. When I look into a car magazine, the numbers are way better than the numbers I saw in Bandimere, what a huge difference ! The high altitude is killing NA cars.
Here is some best numbers I remember
14.1 Corvette
14.8 a supercharged 350Z !
15.5 stock 350Z
13.5 modified E55
12.7 Supra TT
13.6 Viper
13.8 Integra ! (NOS
I saw 2 yellow S4's but they didn't run their cars, one looks stock and the other has BBS rims, exhaust, boost gauge ...
My friends and I might go there next Wednesday and I might run my STOCK A4.
I think we should go there once at least. It'll be fun to see some S4's, A4's, TT's ... there
BTW, anyone run a S4 there ? What was the 1/4 mile time and what mods do you have ?

One thing you have to remember...
A lot of the magazines have 1/4 mile times as recorded at sea level. We're pretty high up in the altitude, and that altitude difference must be taken into account. Figure on times at Bandimere being a second lower at sea level. 14's for this altitude are actually pretty good numbers
For the record, my friend Kris has a Stage III S4, which was piloted by 951porsche at Bandimere to a 12.9 second ET, with full spare, lots of stuff in the trunk and snow tires.

Its not just that, they also put corrections on their times
Somehow I still managed to get a 14.2 out of my car on a 110degree day and at 2k altitude :-p
Eh, thats why I say screw 1/4 mile racing now. Its funny how people put these parts on their cars, run in a 1/4 mile (any chimp could get the same times I get in a quattro car, its not hard at all) and they think that "they" are fast. Whats even worse is the amount of 'respect' they get for it.
