Consider he is in FL, loose a few tenth's just for that...
FL will do some weird stuff to cars trust me on that. I feel like i loose hp when I drive there.... Its just steamy, not dry air. Cali air is very dry atleast in the southern parts.
He should bring it up north and run it or out west run it, see how the results are.

Look guys, fwiw I know my car should be faster...
but I personally think that if you were driving your car in this heat and humidity, you'd be disappionted by your times/traps as well.
In my experience since the Stage 3 upgrades, my car loses 3 to 4/10's a second and about 2-3mph for every ten degrees-- consistantly. Thus 12.6's @ 110 in 85 degrees, 12.3 @ 113 in 75 degrees. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to fall and a nice 50 degree night.
I could only post when I get (personal) record times (and I will!), and I could've waited to give up my FATS data (which I will be resubmitting!), but how much fun would that be?
So, I take no offense, 0 zip nada, at the "your car is slow" comments-- they are technically correct, and there's no need to soft-pedal your comments. I don't think anyone is razzing me, you are disappointed for/with me, 'cause we all like to haul ***. I don't claim (or even aspire, really) to have the fastest car, and knew that when I went with APR.
So cheers to all and enjoy your S4's... I <i>adore</i> mine! And afterall, this is summer in Florida, my car's not the only thing that's slow!

sir, your car is slower than dog poop.
just kidding man, that thing is a beast. I'm quite familiar with the situation in Florida. You've got a damn fast s4. I look forward to seeing the times you'll get in the late fall/winter.

Which, with my extra insulation, means it was indeed chilly...
