Video: 40mph to 160mph in my RS6

[howardkc]

Hey Gang... I promised this video weeks ago, but only this weekend learned how to convert the clips. That said, please follow the link to see a quick clip of my RS6 running an APR chip on the 100 octane program. What do you think?

Howard,
I am obviously a newbie to the forum. I didn't count the seconds but it seemed rather fast! Not to incriminate yourself but where could you go that fast?

On my 916 Ducati in San Diego, there is an area out in the desert that is almost 2 miles straight down and up (slightly windy) that I touched 145 and then a 'Busa passed me.

Maybe on the I-15 north towards Las Vegas, one might open it up...

I don't own one yet, just doing some homework and reading what people have to say about the RS6. So I am not flaming or knocking anyone, just reading...

Thanks for the note... You'd be surprised how quickly you get up those speeds. In my own defense though, I wouldn't drive that quickly with anyone in the car or in an area where others cars are even remotely near. This particular video was shot on a rural four lane highway in northern michigan.

What do I think??? I think your car is FLIPPIN' FAST, that's what I think! :addict:

I've also done some high-speed running on a "rural 4-lane highway in northern Michigan", but unfortunately, all I was able to confirm is that my 130 mph limiter works! ;-(

Good work - fellow Chi-towner! Bring your car to one of our GTGs sometime - if you wanna meet a bunch more Audi-dorks. ;-)

... if you wanna meet a bunch more Audi-dorks. ;-)

Guess I won't be in attendance!

[howardkc]

Thanks for the kind words. We've actually met, I think... I was the guy you stopped to talk to in front of the Egg Harbor in Barrinton two summers ago. Perhaps I'll take you up on a GTG offer. Until then, take care.

[moldowan]

10 seconds 40-120 not too bad!
post some videos from outside the car! love to hear the exhaust!!!

[ZCD2.7T]

Guess I won't be in attendance!

Oh, don't be so modest. You're teh UBER-Audi-dork - the defacto leader of the pack, so to speak.

Besides, who said you'd be INVITED, anyway? ;-)

Whoa - I hadn't made the connection!

I'm kinda surprised that you did, as a matter of fact! In any case, nice car, as I've now mentioned twice. ;-)

What part of "northern Michigan" was witness to this particular run?

We have a place on Walloon Lake, near Petoskey.
