    She asked what other cars had that kind of power, and I basically explained that there are no Ferrari, Lambo's, Porsches, etc... that make that kind of power. The only (commonly known) car with more power is the Bugatti Veyron/Chiron.

    I've been trying to decide what path to go on my build, and you are inspiring me to do something similar. I'd be really happy to get 600+whp on pump gas, and you've provided a template for doing it. Thank you!
    haha that’s awesome and thanks for the kind words. I wasn’t referring to you in my comments I’m just sick of all the negativity regarding our platform. We should be encouraging people to improve he platform and push it forward. This isn’t a financial advice forum. We all know throwing money at cars is not a wise financial decision. I hope we see more people nodding their rs6s. Sam in Ohio has some upgraded turbos on his car and should be dyno tunes any day now. He also has a pretty mega built auto trans on it with some new excess clutches and some wicked torque converter. We need more of this

    While it may SOUND like I'm (we're) all being negative, you can't deny how many threads, attempting to make "big power mods" there have been. This is the internet, we don't know anybody. When I see a thread like this, my first thought is "Uh oh, we need to save someone...another someone , like me, that saw a TTV8 car and thought, hey big easy power". For all I know, this guy is a 18-20 year old, who can finally afford his own $10-$15k car, and thinks it is a sure shot 1000hp project. My intent is just to let everyone know, that posts these threads, that it's not that easy and keep your expectations low, be prepared to spend a lot of time and money.
    And again, to be fair, your car started at a point where most people are striving to get to. You've never stated how much money you have in your car, and it's none of our business, but I'm very sure it's more than I would ever spend, and ultimately, that was my point, and I consider myself in the majority. Absolutely nothing against you, as we've all said, we like what we like. I am totally impressed with your car. Do I still love the RS6? Yup. Would I trade you for my car? Nope.

    AND, I'm pretty sure in most of my posts, I DID wish the OP good luck, as CLEARLY he has an understanding now of what's ahead for him. And I truly mean it. I would LOVE to see someone take an average $10k RS6 and make it a true 600+awhp daily driver. There's a few out there, but my GUESS is they are $35k-$45k projects...something I wasn't willing to do with THIS platform. So I'll own up to a little negativity, but only because I was there...and it wasn't MEANT to be negative, only informative.

    Im not going to address the rest of your post since i think it was the same conversation as what was covered.

    I do think your price is off on the car. At this point, I would price this is the 4k-10k car. So average 7k car. (in fact there was one that sold for 7 before I bought mine.)
    Ive literally seen 3 different conditions sell within 1-hour radius from me. 1 with broken trans(I picked up for 4k), 1 average(with a chip) sold for 7k(I test drove), and 1 in great condition(I picked up for 10k)


    I will ask about the money estimation. SINCE majority thinks that there are no options but to OVERPAY for parts.
    So ill ask please list out your parts list with $$(and be as detailed as your can-with however much time you want to spend compiling it)

    I have a gut feeling that you guys don't do any sort of value engineering.
