took a 0-100mph video

I'm not that fussy about -60 times etc ,I thought it was just going to be a light hearted discussion lol , not a full blown enquiry.

I love the car & performance , but it is nice to know what the figures are ?,maybe in a self indungent way.

4 secs ( as a non analy retentive measurement ) for 60-100 is a good time for an RS6 me thinks.

Just for the fun of it again as I find it interesting I may buy a vbox or similar 2nd hand then just sell on again.

Unless I give someone a healthy deposit & a bit extra for a loan , Grizz

As mentioned, if you some of us nerds are wound tight, please go to the RS4 B7 section and enjoy!

oh dear .. seemed to have opened a half dozen can of worms there :-/

No you haven't. Its caused debate thats all and as everyone's joining in i guess it could be called a 'mass'-debate.

The ONLY thing you did wrong , was not use enough sellotape on the camera/phone !!.

Even with vbox, although it will give accurate figures, everybody's got different maps compared with each other, so all cars are going to perform in different ways. the only conclusion would be whose is the quickest to a certain speed or distance( which i dont think was your original purpose/point of the topic ?).
AFAIK, there isn't a direct related equation between bhp and torque. Someone with 500bhp could well have less torque than someone else with 480 bhp. Example being I've dyno'd at MRC @ 484bhp but have less boost to 3000rpm than a standard 440bhp car although mine has an extra 125 more torqs
one of MRC's cars has 22ps more than mine, but has 100+ more torque than me. So how do we compare cars apart from actually putting 2 side by side ?
Guess what im trying to say is, unless someone buys a car for track use, or E- penis factor, then the whole thing of timings,speed,power,torque is a futile exercise as to whose is better ............. although its damn good fun blasting down a runway/strip against another 'similar' car,regardless of who wins.

For the benefit of everyone , I WILL state for the record , that my avant has 459.5 litres ( 4.5 litres more than standard) than anyone else's in the luggage capacity bracket, this was achieved at MRC when i took the cd magazine cover/panel off. It had the effect of cooling the 6 player unit down as well to run at under 16 deg .better upgrade than any remaps/wagners/tyres as far as im concerned cause now my tunes are REEEEEALY cool.....just gotta silence them 2 speakers stickin out the back end of the car a little now

Dude, whatever you just sniffed while writing that, pass it my way please.

Rob, if you do any more vids can you have one pointing at the dash and another outside please? I love the scenery up there

[Shoppinit]

Feck me, thos vboxes ain't cheap. I think I'll stick with my Vagcom and only get 1% accuracy instead of 0.5%.

I still maintain that pull times are a useful resource to have. Even a dyno doesn't give you the whole picture since your engine might make full power, but might take longer getting to it, if you see what I mean. This could be case if you had a leaky IC for example.

Actually if you do another vid what would be good is just footage of the little one in the back screaming just for the fun of it

[ahoooga]

A vid of Rob driving would be good. 3 rear head butts to the head rest,shouting at kids to be quiet , and emotions of concentration, panic and joy all in 4.59 seconds precisely
( according to my 30 year old casio with stopwatch) red led edition ( accurate to within .01 second if you hit the button at the right time)

You've just described a night of passion for me and the missus!

Liar, 4 seconds? Dream on, more like 2.5!

Pics or it didnt happen !

Just go on YouTube and search 2 pumps and a squirt! Lol

[ahoooga]

2.5 dam, thought I'd finally found something i could win at

[ahoooga]

Just go on youtube and search 2 pumps and a squirt! Lol

I had to after you said it, and 2nd in the list of results was '2 Pumps and a Squirt' by Anal Traffic

What were you looking at? VBOXMini or PerformanceBox?

You only need a PerformanceBox for this sort of application.
