Where are all the modded C5 RS6 at? 500awhp to 800awhp+?

[RS6Goals]

And don't forget that a C7 S6 + $8K in mods = mid/high 10s at ~130 mph.

Lets do a price check on that C7 S6? what is it? 25-30k? if all you care is 1/4 then id go with American muscle and be done with it.

I always find this reasoning puzzling. You can drop $5k into a notchback mustang and run 9s. That isn’t the point. Investing money in depreciating assets is never a good idea. Especially cars if you are trying to get your money back.

I agree with this. I just dont understand why people spend x amount of money on a car and they expect to get that money back when they sell it.
They call it a money pit for a reason lol

I spend x amt of money on my cars and expect a return. I must be doing something right

You expect a return yes. Do you get that exact x amount back?

[DHall1]

Yep, sometimes even more.

RS6Goals, you are dealing with skepticism driven by experience. Like others have mentioned, a lot of people have tried to go down the path of building a big horsepower RS6 and ultimately quit at around 500whp. There is a cost and time barrier around there that most people don't get past. It's not just one thing either, you start to hit the limits of multiple pieces - turbos, intake, intercoolers, transmission, exhaust, fuel system, etc... All these limits can be overcome, but again, cost and time barriers are high.

This is also why you won't find a lot of experienced help beyond this level. There are just not enough people that have done it, and in several cases, the people that have built a big-HP RS6 are doing it as a business, and they don't make money by sharing all the details of their builds.

All this said, despite the skepticism you're getting, we all would love to see you succeed. The RS6 is getting to a price point where more "hobbyist" builders can take a chance on tearing into one. I fully expect to see more people trying different different things and hopefully building some amazing cars!

A few comments:

1: Yes, about right I'd guess for a high-mileage 2013.
2: You'll likely spend that much or more in your attempt to get your RS6 to that level of performance
3: Straw man argument. You already did American muscle, so clearly the RS6 had/has something you liked. My guess is that you thought it would be cool to have a relative "sleeper" of a not-too-pricey AWD German sedan that would kick butt and take names. My point is that a C7 S6 is a much better starting point for such a project.
4: All of that said, I understand the attraction of the RS6's low price of entry, flares and stance, and I wish you nothing but the best. I'll be watching this space for your progress.

I was forced to go built motor due to my last tuner being a complete retard. (JHM). Don’t let him tune your car for e85 he doesn’t understand AFRs on e85.

that being said it would be a lot cheaper and still probably pretty safe on a stock motor. Numbers coming soon.

are you making a claim that stock engine can handle 890awhp?

Thats a lot for being stock.

I did the import thing, American muscle thing, old school swap thing.
I dont really care for "sleeper" thing, I just want AWD turbo V8 in a car.
I realized that AWD is what I want since all I do is DD and I got annoyed with traction issues and running DR in the rain.(not to mention handling sucks on a DR)

I really think this base is really good. I mean 4k for rs6(with broken trans) how much cheaper do you guys want for a base?
