Just heard from a buddy of mine in Connecticut. Said the RS6 he just rode in was dyno'ed not long ago on a 4w DynaPak(sp), like the one APR has. Car put down(according to him referenceing they're printouts), 317 to the wheels, which I thought sounded a bit low. Driveline loss would be insane at that rate. None-the-less, the car now has an O.CT chip and a Milltek exhaust(nice!), and subsequently was bumped up to 417 at the wheels. Said it was the fastest car he'd ever ridden in(he drives a Stage 2+ S4), and said the RS had "walked" a Mustang Cobra(didn't specify the year, which would be very relevant, IMO, to determining the BS factor), with a 150 shot of nitrous. Take it with a grain of salt, but nice story, anywho. Those latest iterations of Cobras are pretty durn fast with some factory performance bolt-ons, and easily dyno at 470hp at the rear wheels. On the highway, they're likely to walk an RS6, unless the driver is pathetic, especially given a huge wet shot like that. Must've been an older model, I concluded... Anyway, thought I'd share, seeing as how it's the first U.S. modded car I've heard about personally.
