    Quarter mile question

    My local track says I need a helmet if my car is running 13.49 or faster in the quarter mile. If my RS6 is bone stock and running 93 octane, do I need a helmet?

    A glitch no doubt. If we were a Mustang or Camaro site I would believe it then.

    It's because it is split from the "How many 'beasts' are on the board?" thread.

    Come on guys.

    Everyone knows that a car that is slower than 13.49 in the quarter mile is SAFE as can be and a Helmet is not needed.

    For example any Volvo Product.

    LOL


    What a bunch of horse shit.

    Wear the GD helmet and be thankful they don't require a roll cage and fire extinquisher system.

    We did 13.4 t he first time we ran the beast stock. And i believe it will do faster just that at that time we didnt know we had to cool it down. Although the drag strip here requires everyone to wear a helmet even if you run a 20 second quarter. It just cost $5 rental for a helmet overhere.

    nyrs6-
    YOU are THE MAN I need to talk to. I sold my (ex-loved but troublesome) RS6 (please see my thread elsewhere on this board) after 3 months (unfortunately).

    The replacement car I'm toying with is the 06 M5. You are the only person I've seen now who owns both, and hence are uniquely qualified to compare/contrast them. I'd be highly interested in your comments, if you will, please?

    thanks a lot!
