Super Fast!!

[4everRS]

That is crazy. I cannot wait for a German owner to post the first YouTube vid of a top speed run. I'll guess well see over 210mph with a tune like this.

[marklar182]

14496

That sums it up.

[DHall1]

Ya think it will beat a Z06.

I'm running for cover because all the Z06 lovers just about shot me the last time.

Holy crap. :D

[lswing]

Corvette always wins, duh.....unless you're talking about there being any rain out, or need for style, four doors, luxury, options...did I mention style and traction?

Wowza...00

[Corbett]

Their s8 went 10.66 on a tune and no cats!

[Bigglezworth]

Crap that's quick. That's getting on the heels of the timeframes for my Buick for gawds sake.

[ttboost]

Hard to justify having a family car and a "fast" car....

[Erik]

I want to see more RS7s here...PLEASE!!!

[Turbowned]

Oh lawd! Maybe in another 10yrs I can own one ;)

[dab]

crazy thing is the prices for an s7 in the 90's loaded and the rs7 I have seen one at 108 msrp, if I was buying new it would be a no brainer. What is another 10k over 3 years nothing.

[DHall1]

Well, this is RS6.com. not many S7, S6, RS7 owners will end up here.

Demographics will be similar to OE RS6 buyers but owners will nav to the Audiworld, Audizine forums. Imho

We are 10yrs removed from the RS6.

Zach Lee.....if I had new RS7 money.....well, I can think of a thousand things in my life that would be different.

[G2]

That's amazingly fast. Surely makes the old rs6's seem a bit sluggish! But pennies on the dollar of a new RS7....

Yeah, those 'Vette's: good numbers cars that attracts a certain demographic. Lots of performance, but not much in the way of finesse. Race car driver friend of mine blew a low hours Vette engine (C5 I think) a few years ago- rod thru block, huge flames that singed 1/2 the car. Always replacing parts, including 3 engines all too soon. He normally drives Porsches which hold up much longer and drive better. But for a boulevard cruiser and the occasional WOT run......

[G2]

BTW: a hopped up 700hp chevy is still only making about 100hp/L, quite low for forced induction. A target hit over 10yrs go with the likes of bmw and Honda NA motors, and the V8 RS4 in '07.
Our 6's, tuned/chipped to 515hp are at 122+hp/L :rs6kiss:

Just sayin'.....

[dab]

What is interesting for me is stage 1 apr s7 equals the performance of a stock rs7. Of course the stage 1 rs7 is another issue. Can I get stage 2 s7 and stay with it for 20k less?

Best Measured APR Stage I - 93 (R+M)/2 Octane 3.52 sec 8.32 sec 8.51 sec 9.93 sec 1.656 sec 11.628 sec 117.83 MPH

A 'hopped up' Buick can easily lay down 1000hp or more (250hp/L) from 4.1L V6 which is a slightly smaller displacement than the C5 RS6 4.2L V8 power plant. Both are FI while the V6 is a pushrod 4V/cyl engine and the V8 a more exotic quad cam 5V/cyl engine.

The numbers being laid down by the newer generation of 'power hauses' are impressive in the fact that they are doing it in a family car. Been lots of cars prior that make more power and run faster, but you simply can't deny the attractiveness of taking your buddies along with a trunk load of clubs and beating up on and embarrasing the 'Chachi' in his Aston Martin or Lambo....

[G2]

I was actually referring to the Henessy Corvette, mentioned earlier in this thread, and in the context of higher level OE performance. Not special built race cars that are barely streetable. Might as well throw in the early McLaren 1.5L's that made 1200hp in race and 1500hp in qualifying trim. Or 1,000hp/L.

If a c5 4.2 was the same displacement as a newer corvette it would easily make 840+hp...

[kismetcapitan]

6.7 seconds. That's Ferrari Enzo acceleration. Jeebus.

Like most here, I'd love to have the current RS6 Avant. But unlike most high-end buyers, I have no ego to bolster by my ride, and the sad fact is that a hot station wagon is still a station wagon, so I understand why it wouldn't have market appeal in the States.

The RS7 is appealing in that the rear hatch still adds a bit more functionality than a sedan RS6. I am beginning to kick the idea around of buying one next year, but that kind of money also requires me to consider something outrageous like the upcoming Nismo GT-R.

The problem with a stage II S7 is that both engine and tranny might be threatened-the S7 and RS7 motors are not identical, and the S7's S-tronic has a limited torque rating, whereas the RS7's ZF tranny has something like a 1,000Nm rating.

To be honest, I haven't gone past stage one with my rs6 and wouldn't go there stage II with s7. Buy a used rs7 in a couple of years and go stage one on that.

[DHall1]

Yep, my next vehicle will be a new model S6 when a mint used one hits 45k miles. Then the Stage1 APR will not void the warranty and the service contract can carry me 6 more years.

[ttboost]

I'm thinking '13 or'14 S8 in a few years...

[ZCD2.7T]

... Then the Stage1 APR will not void the warranty...

Ummm, hate to rain on your parade, but yes it will.

Perhaps you're thinking of STaSIS, which offers a warranty that runs concurrently with the factory warranty? But STaSIS doesn't offer anything for the 4.0TT at this point....

[DHall1]

I was not real clear with that statement.

Buying the car at the end of factory warranty will allow me to then run APR. The service contract can take it from there.

Any factory AoA service claim will need the spec scan from the dealer. Not touching that bad boy till its past 50k.

I will have to rough it till the time comes. I have two RS6s with stuff and stuff,stuff that are running in the 40k range. They are not letting me down any time soon.
