VMAX Competition in England - RS6 vs. M5 etc.

[Erik]

AdamT "We had a day on an airfield, where an M5 was able to run derectricted over 1,5 miles....oh and there was a Gallardo there as well. Speeds over that distance were 181 for the m5 and 182 for the gallardo."

Why the :harass: next to the M5. Same top speed as modified RS6.....???


And perhaps a :harass: next to a stock RS6 which would be below the Stock WRX STi.

The M5 STOCK at 181 is pretty darn impressive.

Nice, but HOW was the RS6 modified?

[Tweaky]

Look on RS246.com he is a regular poster there. It is running at stage 3 with a combined effort from AMD, Sportek and miltek. circa 553bhp and 563Ft-lbs, i think it has hiflow cats and various other intake mods by sportec. The engine and gearbox oil coolers are uprated.

Stock vs. stock STi have no chance in such competition against RS6. I have been organising similar events for many years and seen them enough. Of course, in UK they have many special editions, I'm referring to STi, which is sold elsewhere in Europe.

181 for M5 is impressive of course and the winners 202 is :bigeyes:

Both are very impressive.

But remember we are talking tiptronic 5 speed and quattro vs. SMGIII 7 speed.

It was DMS modified, according to Erik's post and the RS6 driver. Not sure how much difference that would have made (?).

Regarding the M5, it's not quite as you may think. The car's power output was 545BHP & a fairly chunky torque figure (can't recall what it was). Rob who's car it is, is the owner of DMS so it's not only been re-mapped, he's tweaked the rev-limiters in certain gears & generally tinkered around with the car.

I went out for a passenger run with him in his V10 monster & it really is a fabulous car, but as reported by Top Gear with the M6 it is fairly complicated to master with all those whizzy gadgets. A traffic light grand prix would almost be a gimme to the competition as it takes a few mins to set everything up for rapid starts. Also traction is an issue, as pushing on he had a quite a big spin & had to re-boot the car (not joking).

Fab piece of kit, but i'm not un-happy i sold my M5 slot (for a nice chunk of change) & kept the RS6.
