I was pretty happy, I thought sea level acceleration times would have been a lot slower, only did .4s of factory claimed!

Wonder how fast I could do the 1/4 in with that time?

[DutchVDub]

What are you driving??

[yokust]

RS6

[DutchVDub]

what year?  didn't realise those heavy pigs were that fast.  thats awesome.

They aren't slow lol.  At sea level its supposed to do 12.6 stock for the 1/4 mile.  One person with just chip and gutted downpipes is doing under 11.6 on winter tires

[yokust]

1/4 stock was only 14.0 per audi and many other testers stock at sea level. But you have to remember also these cars weigh in at 4400lbs

I have never seen a stock rs6 run anywhere close to a 12sec 1/4 stock, even down at sea level and have seen a few run at waterfest and h20.

john is a street racer...lol

Funny thing is just about everyone will have the same times or pretty close to another since they are all tiptronic   Not really a way of launching it unless you just drop it from neutral to drive at 6K but I dont know how many times its gonna hold up to that shiz.

Quarter mile time by Audi did not involve power braking it, there are quite a few people on RS6.com who run in the mid to high 12's stock.

I would love to see these 12sec stock videos, because i have seen them driven stock at sea level and see an impressive low 13. But 12's did not happen, not unless there are things on the car that make it not stock. 

[Barry]

not things that are on it... things that are NOT on it.... interior... full size spare.... the fat kid sitting on the sideline...


Lots of dumb factors... And you're probably right Troy... owner claims it is stock, but is pushing water meth, or is chipped....

Damn Carlos, for all the shite you talk you don't know much.  With an autimatic you can hold the brakes and rev the engine up because of the slip in the torque converter.  on a turbo charged car that is especially helpful because it allows you to spool up the turbos.  on a big and heavy turbocharged awd car an automatic is actually way better for getting good launches than a manual.

RS6's you cannot stall at all and build boost. They will only stall at 2000-2200, thus the poor drag times stock. They 60ft between 2.1-2.3, when people have put 2-steps on them so they actually build boost they 60 around 1.8 range and actually run good 1/4's for the power they are making

Even at 2200rpm those big V8's don't make any boost?  I hear what you're saying though, probably need a 3000rpm or better stall speed to really spool them up.  That about right?

[yokust]

They make a pound or two but not enough to get the pigs moving properly.

They need at least a 3500 stall if you ask me, so it would power brake at about 3000 and should make real boost. Or have a 2-step installed so even at 2000rpm it can make more boost

I will link you some vids later.  Unless the car is not running proper or not "launched" mid to high 12's are possible.  I know a person that has a stock RS6 that does a 0-60 in 4.35 and 12.3 1/4, it does have the SE exhaust though lol. 

[yokust]

I think your idea of "stock" is wrong. If it didnt come on the car stock, its not stock. And if you are ditching thinks that came on the car stock, its not stock.

I would love to see videos and than see info on cars, because videos dont mean anything unless we know the car is stock.

10secs4 guy who runs 11.59's in his, only runs that with the 2-step on, with it off it runs low 12's. So a fully stock car is not going to come close to a chip/trans chip/gutted precat car

[DutchVDub]

I have to say also, that while the RS6 is packing 450hp and 415torques stock it also has a curb weight of 4024lbs according to the audi spec sheet.  14.1sec 1/4 and 0-60 in 4.6 sec

http://www.audiworld.com/model/rs6/03/03rs6.pdf

The 2000 B5 S4 is stock rated at 3384lbs curb weight with 250hp and 258torques.  0-60 in 5.9 (only 6.5 for the tiptronic) and 1/4 in 14.4 (only 14.8 for the tiptronic)

http://www.audiworld.com/model/s4/00/00-s4.shtml

So considering how close in performance the B5 S4 is according to Audi to the RS6 and that the fastest B5 S4 time I've found with only a chip and cat-back for mods was a 12.97 on race fuel using the GIAC race setting for stock turbos I am with Yokust on those cars not being that fast.

[yokust]

And I know, because i own a RS6. And hopefully mine will be that fast up here soon.

But out of the box, Not F'ing possible

lol, I know what stock means.  We can agree to disagree   Check the boards on Audi World, a guy on team janica can tell you about his RS6, no mods, no chip, and he had a vbox as well to confirm everything.

I also have a friend that has and RS6, bought it brand new, no mods, has SE exhaust and I have seen him run it.

I'll be at Bandimere the 17th 4-9pm so I'll see what my RS6 can do up here, you should come

[DutchVDub]

is it a test-n-tune event?  i wouldn't mind going myself.  i'll show you what a real audi super saloon can do.  2.2L 5cyl turbo ftw.   see if your fancy arse techno wonder can hang with the UrS4. j/k, but I'd love to go if its a test-n-tune.

I dont race automatics so I dont worry about that shit.  And I wasnt far off anyways, so I guess Im not all that dumb eh?  And I dont see where I was really talking shit here...now in your bandi thread... I was talkin shit in there LOL. 
Now get over it, and keep to 4 wheelin... its all in good fun focker

[p3u]

I did another run and got it on vid, video and VAG confirmed 11.1 seconds again.  That is pace for a high 12 or low 13.
