Carrabelle speed festival

[bmwade]

I just signed up for this, there are around 20 more spots available, thought it would be cool to see another RS6 there!

I will be at the Chicago event on June 1st: http://wannagofast.com/chicago.php

Planned on taking both my RS6 and ZL1 up, but my friend won't be able to fly down to drive it up there (ZL1 it is this time around).

interesting. Too bad this is only half a mile...

I bet a RS6 with a flash will go 130-135 or so in a half mile...maybe 140...

That would be cool, I can't wait to find out! If I come up disappointed I'm sure I'll be pulling out the checkbook for more upgrades!

Looking forward to finding out!

Video or it didn't happen!

Of course there will be video!

From looking at a couple of the previous results PDF's on their page I'm guessing 140-145 as that's about where E60 M5's and E55's are running. I didn't go through all of the results, so I didn't notice if an RS6 has run with them before?

[JSRS6]

Really looking forward to this.

^Woot Woot! Me too through the vids...00

Awesome!! Can't wait to see how our cars compare! I'm going in Monday for fresh TC and (fingers crossed) new transmission as well and timing belt service, so my car should be fresh! I will baby it till Carrabelle! What's your projected HP?

Lucky you! Last time I dyno'd, it was 420/480 awhp/awtq. Need to get a new pump from snow so I can finish the water-meth.

So that's ~525 with drivetrain loss? Be interesting to see how the meth does with our cars more or less equal.

Registration closed a few days ago. See ya down there :hihi:

Through a series of 'highly scientific' tests using Forza 4 I determined that with my mods I should hit 136-137. I spent several hours testing and tweaking. I've tested many different launches, I started with stock DRC then went to coilovers, started on street tires then went to sport tires. Started on stock rims then went to aftermarket rims. I used both auto and tip. My best result was 140 and my worst result was 134, which makes me reasonably confident in my estimate. It will be an interesting test of Forza 4 simulation as well. This number also coincides with my previous paper estimate based off of results from both the E60 M5 and w211 E55/63.

*disclaimer* I'm only working with an assumed HP figure on my car since I've never got dyno numbers on my car

[JSRS6]

I have looked through all previous race results, and have seen two Audis. There was an R8 and a TT RS I believe. Looks like we will be the first RS 6's to run these speed festivals.

Sooo...got an email from the coordinator today, it got pushed back to april 6th due to weather. Have to find out if ill be able to make that one.

[ttboost]

That's a bummer...Weather? Quattro?

[JSRS6]

It would be even less fair for all the other cars, I know.

[ttboost]

How is that your problem?

Since you got the GoPro I decided to get a Contour Roam2 for comparison.

I think it would have been more fun for JSRS6 and I but I wouldn't feel safe running next to the poor schmucks without quattro.

Why? You guys would be SO far ahead of them!!!! You'd have to look in your mirrors to see them wipe out!!!!

[ttboost]
