Nice times, you got a 10 second car possible with a better 60'. I was hoping for just a bit more in the trap but that could the result of conditions.

Very impressive for a soft 60ft time! I’m looking forward to more cars getting to the track. The split times alone tell me this car is shifting much better than the W212...and it’s making the same power as a tune/dp W212. Wow!

Density Altitude. This is a number for how good the air is, the better the air, the faster the car is gonna go, to run the time you did you must have had really good air that day. For example a car at a very high altitude on a hot and muggy day is gonna run sluggish and a lot worse of a time than a car in Ohio on a crisp cool night. Here is a calculator, you can easily find the DA number by hitting in the track and the date and time. http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-...calculator.php The lower the number the faster the car is gonna run down the track, although it makes less of difference on turbo charged cars such as ours vs normally aspirated cars. This is why a lot of people who live at high altitudes opt for turbos. What was your procedure for your start? Race mode and Race Start? Traction control on/off? Again, impressive time, good job.
Just for fun I did 2 different calculations of your time at 2 different tracks. The first track was around where you probably raced, Louisiana Raceway which is just 70 feet above sea level. Your corrected time taking DA into account was 1/10 of a second slower, I put in that you raced 3 days at 7:00 PM, the temp was only 34 degrees then. Had you been driving a non turbo car your corrected time would have been around 3/10's of a second slower. Then just for fun I put in Bandimere Drag Track In Colorado which is 5200 feet above sea level and turns out at the same time the temp was the same at 34 degrees, since there air is much thinner there because of the high altitude your correct time had you done that great run of 11.10 seconds would have been 10.87 seconds, but in reality your car would have turned about that difference slower, like around a 11.33. If you look on the chart for normally aspirated engines that are not highly modified the numbers vary much more widely.

As I expected with their numbers- right up there with stage 1 RS7's... but this was on 93?
