Yes, my car is an A8 (tuned). What I typically do is blip the throttle to the floor, which engages performance shift mode, the A8 downshifts to the optimal gear for max torque at that speed, rpms climb to 3500-4000, and then I floor it for some bam-bam straight line shift action.

Your 2nd gear being shorter than mine would definitely make for more tire spin as well. I'm sure it hits hard!

Would need RPM-based graphs from both in order to pretend-overlay like you did. Yes I am pointing out that even if your dyno operator screwed up like this one, and gave you a speed-based dyno sheet instead of the correct rpm-based, the fact that your gearing does not match his would invalidate a straight comparison of mph vs power.

Well, I thought this was a forum and not a PhD dissertation judging committee, hence my use of the word "hacked"

I understand this is completely invalid in a scientific sense, but if you insist on this level of accuracy, we won't be able to converse about much—my car is an A8, there is no way I can produce apples to apples test data against an M6 car, and in very few cases do we have perfectly comparable cars under the exact same conditions anyway.

Edit ; I was wrong about some of those tires. I believe all run-flats should hook when warm on dry pavement, road course, or the strip.

I can't vouch for all of those, but most of them are definitely not run flats. It's almost a contradiction in terms for DR and runflat.

I removed those tires because I guessed. Pretty sure all manuf. makes racetrack run flats.
