woah! I see that car parked at rave gauge every so often! My brother lives up the street from that club, so me and a few friends always go there. Killer car! I always thought that was the owner of the club! Verry nice! We should meet sometime, till then fabulous car!

 

Welcome to the board Mark, You'll fit right in with that sweet ride..
Lovin' those seats!

You ever spin at Crobar? Nice Porsche btw.

 

Just taking a guess here, but are you polish?

 

Do I hear VIP Passes to Rive Gauche on Sat for 6speed members

 

Are you granny shifting every gear? I run 11.5s in my S4 with a similar 60ft, but I'm only trapping at 118-119! Here's my timeslip:



With a 1.7 and 123.71mph trap, you should be running 11.1 to 11.3.

 

Actually, 11.5@123 is pretty good, especially considering the 19" wheels/tires and road-racing setup. Your 11.5@118.7 is the timeslip that is out of the ordinary. Here are some sample Porsche times:

11.100* 130.000 996T Roock RST 650 2003 Car and Driver
11.120* 133.410 Porsche Carrera GT 2004 NA
11.200* 132.000 Porsche Carrera GT 2004 Car and Driver
11.300* 133.720 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo 1988 JR
11.360 124.040 Porsche Ruf R Turbo 2002 Mr. J
11.731* 121.200 Porsche 911 Turbo 2001 Jonathan nadim
11.890 126.100 Porsche 911 Turbo EVO Stage 4 2001 mark
11.900 116.600 Porsche 911 Turbo Turbo S 1997
11.900* 119.900 Porsche 911 Turbo X50 2003 Motor Trend
12.000* 120.700 Porsche GT2 2002 NA

Keep your boost below the various error triggers (overboost, MAF overflow, etc), and your ecu will simply use whatever existing mapping that it has in place. It's only when you exceed the limits that the ecu cares. In other words, you can use the boost controller to lower boost from the max, but increasing it beyond will trigger faults.

 

Maybe none of them could drive? Or they were all granny shifting? I know of people that go even faster than 11.5 with only 118-119 traps. All I know is that if my Audi had a 123-124 trap, I'd be knocking on the 10's.

 

I use the boost controller to loWER boost @ launch.... just experimenting....TO AVOID WHEEL HOP. I do however notice the turbos spooling up faster.
As far as the s4 running 11.4 at 118mph.... i agree with spephenti... those numbers do not make sense... i got a 1.5 SEC. 60 foot once.. but only once.... just for the one who thinks that i baby my tranny... i dont think so... FVD in frorida (Bryan) put another trans at a porsche dealer 2 years ago... and I went thru the first stok clutch this year... 30k miles on it.
I changed out the b&M short shifter recently after my friend, senior Porsche tech showed me a company news bulletin about B&M shifters causing problems with the sync rolls. It all made sense. I did baby the tranny but only from first to second because sometimes the sync rolls would not slow down fast enough to pop into 2nd gear. The shifter was in gear but ther was nothing there. It all make sense now...since I have different short shifter.
I've done probably 60 runs at the track in 2 1/2 years. My friend Adam who has a white evo 2, did 8.7 sec at 156 mph that same day. the evo weighs only 2400 pounds. He has the second fastest 4 wheel street car in the world... and it is documented. He has a lot of experience.. and even he could not get my car into low 11's. Being for what it is... I think its fast.... I do not have the freedom of taking my car to the tuner once a month like some u lucky guys... I wish I lived in California.
Those who know me in Chicago know I don't keep my cars in the garage.... and I drive hard...
ANYONE COMING TO RIVE GAUCHE- VIP ON ME.

Not sure what you mean by the time "not making sense." I'm just saying you have a high MPH, decent 60ft, and that your ET should be quicker. Here are the videos of my S4 running 11.6s @ only 117mph:

I've no doubt that you ran those times... Markski's times are hardly "off", it's your time that is extraordinary... 11.5@117 is a great time, especially for the S4. My cousin has an S4, and I've spent a lot of time driving it... not exactly an easy car to mod/race/launch to your 11.5@117... especially considering it's such a pig of a car.

And, just as more examples, C&D June '04 ran a Dodge Viper Competition Coupe to 11.2@130mph and Viper RSI700 to 11.3@128mph.

 

I've been up for a few nights finishing some video work... I'm sorry I misread ur post...I thought that you did 11.6 sec in 118 mph in a non turbo porsche"c4"... U have a s4 AUDI. that I can understand. nice driving.
I think "stephen" put up a good post with a link...
I'm not off by any means with what I have...
also.. the shoot out in the "european car magazine" has a good write up.
