How fast are these RS6's??

[PALETTE]

WOW!!! I just ran a 4.4 0-60 in my RS6 !! Unreal! And its stock!:applause:

[Aronis]

Audi factory spec is supposed to be 0-60 in 4.3, but few have ever seen this number.

I did a few quick checks with an Iphone App and with my snow tires last winter I ran 0-60 in 4.9.

Most of the timed numbers people post are for modified cars.

[PALETTE]

so i'm right there with all season tires and a stock ecu no tune cant complain at all!10531

[skribe]

My car ran a 12.5 @ 115 this summer. MTM stage 1.

Just today I smoked a nice modded F-body Z28 three times at three successive stoplights. He was struggling for traction.

After the third spanking. He rolls up and yells "what the hell motor you got in that thing?"

If you have to ask... :applause:

[V8weight]

I'm glad to hear that you guys are getting these kinds of numbers, but the best I was ever able to get stock was 5.1-5.2 0-60, 4.7 with the Eurocharged, and 4.2 with the Viper tune, all else stock. I've always used the acceleration function on the Vag.com though, maybe it's a bit pessimistic? I haven't made any timed runs since doing my downpipes, I wonder if I could get it under the 4 second barrier? Maybe if the state wasn't under a thin layer of ice right now.....

I guess I need to really apply myself. Just stomping on it from a dead stop, in "S", gets me about 5.2. Maybe power breaking will help.

[DHall1]

Put it this way. I now live in the AZ desert and still have a second set of wheels and Blizzak tires for our LX470 just for any trips in the mtns. When we lived in the CO mountains 8000ft and the hint of snow was in the air.....my wife made me mount up the snow tires before she even pulled out of the garage. We just shook our heads at all the idjuits in the ditches on snowy mornings.

Only time I ever got stuck in the snow was with my Celica GT4. I had this vision in my head that I was Carlos Sainz and while blasting on snow covered fire roads in the mountains I slid off the surface and stuck the car in a snow bank. I dug for 2hrs to get out but boy what that fun.


so i now need snow tires??? aaaa man i was hoping i didnt!

[PALETTE]

[speedtrapped]

Not sure if I will catch flack for this but I did not buy the blizzaks, $240.00 per, I bought Pirelli's Sotozero(need to post pics w/ OEM rims) @$146.00 per.... Have not driven in snow yet, soon enough.

Late to the party, I see.

RS 6 will only build ~ 3 psi brake boosting. Not really worth it in my experience.

I believe the APR tune enables real brake boosting?

I know for sure the mythical mark "10secS4"/ Bay Tires tune does... that tune has a two-stage rev-limiter and builds a ton of boost off the line, that's why that guy could run 11's in a stock, only gutted DPs and a flash RS 6.

I think an RS 6 could hit 60 in mid three's if it actually brake boosted. Of course your TC would last about a week.

[DHall1]

Looks like a good choice in my book. I only say Blizzak because we have owned several sets. Lots of choices these days and the key is to buy the proper snowflake tire to suit the region. You should have a blast with those tires on your roads.

Same here, I've run Pirelli Wintersport 240's on all of my Audi's (the RS6 included) and had really good luck with them. They were $185 a piece for this car if I remember correctly. I think the Sotorzero just supersedes the old 240 wintersport.

Are you doing it right? The magic number is three. Hold left foot on brake, rev, let off. Rev again, let off. Rev again and hold, you should notice that on the third time, it will allow you to hold a higher rpm (like 2500). Now smoothly let off the brake as if releasing a clutch and in a sweeping motion smoothly apply liberal amounts of throttle. If you've done it right, your tires will go up in smoke, and your passengers will soil their trousers. This is the "Duck-foot-rat" technique.

I don't know, but when you do it, it's pretty obvious that you've fooled the ecu into doing something that it knows better than to allow under normal circumstances. It really plants you back in the seat. I had a guy in my car that owns a stage 780? S4, and he said he had never felt a launch like that, which was reassuring coming from one of those automatic's are for lady's types.

With all this talk of 0-60 times, what are you guy's using to determine such numbers. Aside from V8weight mentioning that he uses the Vagcom, nobody has mentioned how they determine their times. I would think the Vag to be the most accurate, I don't know. I'm just curios because I would like to determine mine in the near future. I guess I might never truly know mine though, because any kind of Launce other than stomping on the Gas pedal is out of the question. I do value my TC. Maybe 50-90 or 60-90 pulls would be a more accurate indication of our performance potential.........

Using my DashDAQ and my high resolution GPS receiver I was able to do a 0-60 in 4.6s @ close to sealevel, using just the gas pedal... 4.4s using both feet.

DashDAQ also reported a 13.9s 1/4 mile, guess one of these days I should do a simultaneous run with DashDAQ and VAGCOM and see how accurate the VAG is.

[ttboost]

Rather than start a new useless thread, I figured I would keep this thread alive with data. Went to the dragstrip today to baseline my car completely stock. They kicked us out after only 3 runs, so never really got to learn how to launch the car. I ran is "S" everytime. The first pass I just took off normal, like I was taking off from a green light. 13.3. Second pass, I tried to be a little more aggressive and the car nosed over so bad, I thought something happened. 13.6. Third pass I used the ol' "Duck Foot Rat" technique. Seemed to work the best. I learned if you push the throttle just a bit too much, too quickly, it will fall on its face...BAD...Last pass was best pass: 13.2 at 105 with a 1.94 60'. Actually my disappointment was shortlived, because after the last pass, I drove over the scale. 4435 with me in it and 4235 without me.

Now a question: Will the MTM tranny flash help any of these launching issues? Bogging? Staying in a gear too long? etc...Does it change when the converter locks? Probably going to get MTM TCU flash this week, if time allows. Hope I didn't already hurt it...

[DHall1]

Yes, yes, yes, yes it locks the converter in a performance mode and keeps it from slipping in and out of lockup.

You should Vag your car before going much further.

If you log 3,31,115 and send me the logs....I can have a peek and compare to some other stock run logs. PM for specifics

You're doing pretty well, my best run stock was 13.04 @ 108, with a 2.00 60ft. I've had this car to the strip a couple of times, and the first run is always the best due to heat soak. If you had a better launch on the first run, your numbers probably would have been better.

Yep, my runs were completely stock, save for the Eisenmann axle back exhaust, and an ambient temp of about 80F. Like I said, the first run is always the fastest, I usually arrived at the track, popped the hood, and let the car sit for at least an hour. All my passes after that just went down hill. When you have the "duck foot rat" technique down, it won't bog, it will launch hard, although, your 60 ft time was way better than mine, so maybe it's not your launch technique. Maybe your car needs some work. My trap speed was 2 mph faster than yours, which would indicate that my car was ever so slightly healthier than yours.

[PALETTE]

ok ok Explain "duck foot rat"

[V8weight]

ok ok Explain "duck foot rat"
Ok, but this is the last time I'm telling this story :)

1. Hold left foot on brake, and rev motor as high as it will let you (about 2k rpm), let off gas pedal.
2. While still holding left foot on brake, again rev motor as high as it will let you (about 2k rpm), let off gas pedal.
3. While still holding left foot on brake, again rev motor as high as it will let you, this time, it will allow about 2500 rpm, and will build boost. Now, slowly let off brake pedal as if releasing a clutch, and in a sweeping motion apply liberal amounts of throttle (don't just jamb on the gas, slowly put it to the boards). You should experience no bog, the car should launch hard, if you are tuned, the tires should actually spin. (assuming you have the right tune :))

[JSRS6]

i tried the duck foot rat a few times at the impromptu 1/4 mile strip that runs along the office park that the shop i go to sometimes is in. only problem is it is just a hair over 1/4 mile so i get to 90 and have to brake a just a little, lol. i was able to kinda successsfully launch a third of the time. The technique didnt work quite as dave described it, though. I did the brake, gas, let off twice, then brake, gas, let off brake more gas and it worked once. another time, i simply brake, gas, let off brake more gas the first time and it worked. it worked sometimes. i wonder if the n75 valve is hindering me...guess ill find out friday when i get my car back...

Hmm, hard to say. You really should get your car running right before you continue to beat on it. You're going to fry your turbo's, at best.

Sorry but why would you fry the turbos? I dont really understand that ..

[dreadlocks]

It dont matter how fast these RS6's are anymore, with a newborn in the back its slow going until he's big enough I can flip his seat around... dont want to rip the lil guy's head off. :incar:

Am I the only one who drives fast cars slow? Really there is no point in goosing it off the line to prove how fast you are. Driving an RS6 you have nothing to prove to anyone... I love that my fast cars blend into the background and nobody notices them unless I want them to (which is very rare). My fast is more than twice as fast as the audi, and its been a daily driver.. once your at that level nobody u encounter on the road is a challenge and your mindset changes, or perhaps you grow up.

I know the power is there, and I dont need a reminder unless I actually have a use/reason for the power. Who the fuck cares if the cummins/mustang/rice thinks there faster than you? Ur in an RS6, your ePenis should be big enough to ignore em.

end of rant, dont take it personally JS :hey:

Because the waste gates regulate boost pressure by indirectly regulating rpms. No regulation=overspool/overboost. A turbo constantly operating out of it's range will not last.

WHY I OUGHTTA!








J/k. I take no offense from something my own brain tells me. As well as my wallet($50 fill-ups add up quick in a dd). I rarely do any of the things I mentioned. Those are just the things I have done in the past. I did get the car because it is a sleeper. But sometimes I just can't help accelerating and hearing that exhaust and feeling the torque. But you and I will soon be exhibiting the same driving habits, as my wife and I will have a baby girl come march. And I have the recaro baby seat waiting ;-) oh, and you can call me Josh. My profile name is a merging of my initials(jsr) and the beast. I initially was going to get a plate with it, but I'm leaning more towards mungo. It's German for mongoose ;-)

Agreed with my 5 month old in the back seat i dont do anything crazy but watch out for other idiots that dont single lane changes and just ride up my rear like they are in a rush to get to the bathroom!

Josh have ya ever driven off rte 220 in Virginia near Roanoke? Insane 2 lane mountain road that basically is all S turns, thru several towns that ends w/ a wicked S after S after S hairpin decent.......I was navigating this at 3 am, kids asleep in back, with Wife's eyes as big as tea saucers....in my EL expedition.....I was fantasing about that road and the beast

No, I've never made it out that way. But I'm glad you guys made it home safe. ;-)

I don't worry about ripping my kids' heads off. What I worry about is them throwing up - which has happened twice with my 2-year old after a little canyon carving.puke:

Finally confirmed! Tune is on the way! oh yea baby! MTM chip going in the TCU in 2 weeks. Now if the Snow would only hold off!

Congrats Corey. I wouldn't drive with the tune without the TCU tune.

[skribe]

Hello, my name is Skribe, and I'm a speed addict.

Unfortunately I totally enjoy engaging other cars, seeing who can pull on who... there are so many amazing cars (and tuner dipshits) on the road around me, it's too much to resist. Shit, the other baseball dads alone include a Maserati Gran Turismo, Shelby 500 KR, M5...

I used to race motocross as a kid, I think I developed a nasty speed addiction a long time ago... The RS 6 from 3800 to 5000 RPM is like hitting the crack pipe for me. I can't put it down.

What I DON'T do is Ricer-style lane weaving and cutting, shooting risky gaps in traffic. I HATE that crap. I never speed when conditions are unknown, on unfamiliar roads, in heavy traffic, when it's for whatever reason unsafe. Kids in the car? No comment on that one.

Dreadlocks, you are higher on Maslow's hierarchy than me. I'm afraid I'm a knuckle-dragger.

I am am having ELP do a custom tune for me as i plan on doing turbos, and coolers next summer so i want to be able to change maps and i love to Data log.

This is interesting, I tried intently to get an EPL tune for my car, unfortunately, our local EPL tuner is impossible to get a hold of. Being a man of impatience and action, I went with the Viper tune, and have been more than happy. Keep us posted.

I don't mean anything, just correcting Palette's misspelling (ELP) in case someone is googling.... EPL headquarters is here in Stratford, CT. They have a shop with an in house Mustang dyno and also can email tunes. Excellent service and I have had nothing but a great experience in tuning my 996 turbo, which is way faster than it should be, based on the parts installed. I blame the tune.

Sorry my mistake my excitment took over LOL EPL is correct!

Oh and Mike i blame the Driver not the tune!
If you look at Scott he just ran a 4.95 same set up as me and i did a 5.7 see what i mean..

G8 Target came up in the rear view & bopped around for a bit this morning. The voices started up and off we went. When he passes the truck he is at approx 80 and then guns it, then tries again, then moves over.

I think most would agree that the fmu intake is a great design, if not the best designed intake. Check it out:

That rattle sounds familiar - like my license plate on the dash against the window.

LOL- The rattle on the vid is a problem with the camera microphone. I haven't yet looked for the root cause- It seems to sound off on the video when the car is under acceleration. The camera may just be shaking around in its' case. Fortunately- it isn't an actual car noise or it would drive me insane (or should I say further down the insane lane).

Are you using a Go Pro camera?
I have one but man that battery dies fast, I used it a few times but I really need to get a good lithium battery i guess<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

[MaxRS6]

Are you using a Go Pro camera?..

Yes- It is a go camera. I had the camera recording for at least a couple of hours on hd setting at TWS recently. I think I've been getting around 2 to 3 hours of battery life on a charge, and keep an extra battery charged.

A thing that bugs me is it does not have recording indicator light on the back of the camera. Hopefully one of their add on modules will add this feature.

Yes correct, would be nice if it blinked or something!

The quickest I got from 0-60 is 3.74 and it was some serious abuse on my transmission! I power brakes with a decent amount of boost and about snapped my neck off when took off. I can do 4.0-4.1 fairly easily without having to build so much boost before launching. This time was done by multiple G-tech Pro runs and even comparing it to an older G-Tech and the numbers were all similar.

Have you ever checked your 0-60 with Vagcom to compare the two?

[cmore]

Not yet, because I was worried that the stock speed was more likely a bit off like all street cars. If speedo was 100% accurate, and circumstance of the tires were exactly like the factory tires including wear level, then the vag-com should be accurate. I was just worried that those variables would not be true. My snow tires are on the car now I can't check as my snows are 235/40/18 -- I can spin all 4 tires when launching and the diameter is different from stock.

705bhp of pure AWD rice :) I wonder how my baby is...wasting away in storage, while I enjoy the luxury of my RS6. The Skyline is of course faster, but much more difficult to drive. Get it wrong and you won't bog, you'll stall the turbos and it'll take AGES to get going again. Makes me wonder...I'm not missing as much I thought I would, the raw, ultra-stiff chassis, the exhaust so loud you have to shout to passengers, the reek of gasoline, the clunky gearshift and the cramp-inducing multiplate racing clutch, the rapid-fire ballet dance on the pedals while shifting to milk the goods out of the car.

Just pressing the gas, click the kickdown switch if I want to crank it up to 11. Too easy! :D

so much fine...spend a little on meth, and get a little more topline kick in the pants
