Have to ask whiteman.  He's tracked his and I haven't.  Other than his being an A4 and mine being an M6 our cars are mechanically identical.  I think he ran a 12.9 at 108 or so.

HAHA, compared to what I'm used to it's lightning quick.  But on LS1Tech just breaking into the 12's is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.  :D

Nah, I think anything under 13.0 is pretty darned quick. Besides being faster than that has it's downside.  I could break any time even though I've beefed everything up.  With the IRS, the half shafts and spindles become the weak part after you put in a d44
12 secs is fast without really twisting the car and asking it to do things it wasn't originally built for.  IMHO

Well, like I was saying, 12's is lightning fast compared to what I'm used to, my old 3.8 Camaro.  Back in high school if you had a car in the low 14's you were competitive.  If you could get it in the 13's you were pretty much king.  12's was like the holy grail for most of us back then.  And I know what you mean by taking it easy on the rear end.  When I get my 295's tires on the back I am not going to be dumping the clutch at all.
