Went to englishtown yesterday. Results werent to pleasant, but got real comparison times against the S4, Accord V6 and the BMW 323. Fiddler started the post under the TL forum, so i'll just link it.

Is that track at high elevation or was there timing equipment having problems? Reason why I ask is, I know your car and the others are faster than the times posted. Somethings gotta be wrong. I seriously doubt your car isn't capable of a low 15s if not high 14s time. Something's not right.

well, honestly it'd be great if i could blame it on the track, or on the humidity, or any other factor. but i don't really know. this was our first time at a drag strip(all 4 of us) and we all got disappointing, but consistent results. based on the fact that other people did not have these issues at the same track, i doubt its the elevation. so maybe it was the weather, or the machine calibration, cuz there was a funny car that ran a 10sec. 1/4 which is exteremely slow for a funny car. so i dunno.

 

Now I dont know how the TL works at the launch, I will describe the A6 Tiptronic and maybe some things can be used.
I brake Torque and gradually but not slowly press the accelerator till it just barely resting on a kickdown switch( little tranny kickdown switch in A6 Tips) In the A6 you can only hit 2300rpm's, will not go any higher, as the Rpm's are buidling up fast , just as they hit 2200-2300 release the brakes. Dont sit there on the brake and the gas for too long a time.
So on the TL maybe find out what rpm you can brake torque to??? As the Rpms are building up , release just as they get to that particular spot. The engine is revving up and not sitting there and should take out like you've been rear ended by a truck!!! DO you know if there is a set limit you can reach while braking?? Just wondering.
WIth the Tip A6 chipped I get
60' 1.981
330' 5.833
1/8 9.004
1/4 14.027@99mph

If you can eek that 60' time down to the 2.2's you have a great shot to the 14's based on how your car runs the 1/4. Also try it in drive mode only and dont use the shifter. Might help out also. You have the HP, just gotta unload quicker at the start.
Oh and Jim W knows his stuff on the drag strip, pretty incredible times for a stocker, although he cant take credit for taking a water bottle to spray the intercoolers!!LOL
