Please elaborate as perhaps I misunderstood. Is that 600hp at the wheels or at the crank?
because I'm thinking/talking about 600 at the wheels and if that's doable on stock twins I'm all for it. Don't get me wrong I'm always down to build but if I can push that on stock twins then Id rock it until I build an engine for 800awhp.
About space, theres space. The turbo may not end up where its currently located but theres plenty of space for upgraded twins or big single. (hint, im considering rear mounted if I cant fit it in stock location- I looked tons of room in the back.) So I don't really think that is a restriction anymore.
Manual swap is going to happen no matter what. And unless im mistaken theres a complete kit for 5k.(which works out great because I prefer manual vs auto)
and turbo cost is a fraction of that.
$678 for a par of t3 55mm
$718 for a pair of t3 61mm
$319 for a single t4 76mm or 70mm
Yea I'm going to assign labor cost as 1 cent. or 100k. (meaning its irrelevant to me). I think I said this before but building is a hobby of mine, I enjoy the challenge and learning experience of building.
Or another way to put it, do you watch sports/tv shows? or play sports? or play an instrument? or any sort of hobby? etc? do you convert those hours into $$$?
Yeah...I get it...50-60 year old classic...not a 2003 high maintenance, super rare, over-engineered, one off European sedan. 20yrs ago I paid $11k for a 69 Camaro, as I always wanted to TT an old muscle car. I did it.. I fabricated a pair of T4 turbo's, an intercooler, fuel injection, fuel system, etc...everything...killer package...did everything myself, just like the OP wants to, had $21k in the car, guy gave me $25k. Worth it for a 69 Camaro. RS6? There are exceptions, but MOST people here just do a manual swap and lose THAT money PLUS the depreciation...THAT is my point. I get that the OP doesn't care, it's a "hobby...I get it...It's my hobby too...been doing this crap over 30 years now...I just happen to draw the line at something that, $/fun, just isn't there...not enough results for the time and money. I (and everyone else here) is trying to tell him to keep his expectations low...he might hit his target, but he will spend a boat load money and spend a metric sh*t ton of time.

I can't no. The reason I can't is because I have never had an actual dyno test on my car. My statement is based upon mathematical calculation for covering a certian distance with a set mass (car plus driver). You would need to be pushing 550-600 crank horsepower to push 4400+- down the quarter mile in mid to high 11s. Trap speed a nominal 116-118mph. If I recall correctly, the Sportec car was trapping 120-122 or something like that with similar tims because it couldn`t hook up. With the recent mods that will be tougher to get traction.

Ha
A tune and I'm low 11s on my CL600. Good enough
never going to happen on my RS6s. I accept that fact
i have chump change in the CL600 and it's just got a full PPI with flying colors at Benz. Let the mods begin
Sorry, my bad: "Laser SVT", not "Black SVT".
To the OP, read this:

...and then this:

...and then tell us if any of that sounds familiar.... (I know it does to many of us...)
And don't forget that a C7 S6 + $8K in mods = mid/high 10s at ~130 mph.

That was kinda the point I made earlier today. The Benz should pull numbers like that. It has 50% more cylinders and 50% more displacement. It should be pushing 800-900hp based upon that fact - but it's not. Doesn't matter though. Still goes like mad - when the roads are dry - which in PHX is often I'm sure. Not here. My friend had an E63 which he gave up driving due to problems with traction and driveability. I image the Bi12 is even worse.

2004 Sportec RS600 + 6MT + e85
Fastest RS6 in the USA
Skimmed it, didnt find anything of interest. Same information I found and what was posted here. Looks like by the same people too.
You kinda answered it there. Your talking crank hp. Im after awhp. thats easily 100awhp+ difference.
Im sorry did you say sportec car couldnt hook? how is that possible with less than 600awhp? what was that car on? skinny old tires?
Lets do a price check on that C7 S6? what is it? 25-30k? if all you care is 1/4 then id go with American muscle and be done with it.
I agree with this. I just dont understand why people spend x amount of money on a car and they expect to get that money back when they sell it.
They call it a money pit for a reason lol
