Baddest C5 RS6

[Bigglezworth]

Hey now! I'm not trying to argue but my sportec car is a completely different animal now with e85 fueling and a retune! And it's still the fastest in the USA

No question it's quick. Have you confirmed how quick you're actually running now? A few months back you seemed to be having traction problems which would kill your ETA's. What is it trapping at now? As for my comment, I stand by it.

As we get over 10yrs old, the mods made to your car 6-8yrs ago are not exclusive or royalty any more. Indeed your car has a number of modifications , but there are a few other members on and off this forum have performed similar or even more extreme mods. Unless I'm mistake, you're still running OEM engine with no internal modifications for cams, porting, intake manifold, pistons, headers, etc correct? So, then turbos, exhaust, intercoolers, 6MT, a tank full of race gas, a tune, and possibly injectors? No proven stats confirming a 6MT is quicker than a 5AT, although we'd like to think there is a possibility for improvement due to some weight savings.

Still darn quick and yes, if you're running low to mid 11's likely the quickest. Would be nice if we could all be in closer proximity to each other to see our prides and joys in person and better enjoy.

I get what your saying and maybe you are right that mods on some of these rs6s go way further than what's on my car. Yes I'm on stock motor still and won't do anything until I blow it up. I'm just saying the cars that have these more extensive mods seems to not post videos or go to the track or anything and it seems the ones that do a 6mt swap seem to always sell them shortly after. In my opinion the 6mt actually hurts my 1/4 mile times. It's hard to launch the car as opposed to an automatic and shifting is definitely slower than an auto, this why you see rs6s getting better ETs than I but much slower trap speed. That 12.1@122 was on the old tune with pretty much how the car came when I bought it. We've done a few things since and it feels like a totally different car now. It's weird to me to spend so much time and money on a beast like these and not show it off or stretch it's legs at a track. Anyways, yes in having traction issues but that was on a cold road we will see what happens at the track this year. We got a bunch of issues sorted out over the winter so far and car is running great. Looking forward to the tracks opening again in a few weeks.
