B7's struggle to pull away from a R32, never mind a C63 !

Always there with a positive contribution eh Golfather? Just waiting for your alter ego to pitch up as well.

You won't have to visit the B7 section for another couple of months now....

Depends who's driving. R32 takes about 6 seconds to reach 60mph(correct me if I'm wrong) and the RS around 4.8 seconds. A decent driver in both vehicles would establish the RS as a quicker car point to point.

6 seconds to reach 6mph, that is shocking

If you'd smoked something that good then a 0-6 time of 6 seconds would also be pretty impressive.

I've had runs with a few of them. They're quick but certainly not too out of reach stock for stock.

From a dig it is anyone's race. On a roll they should have us but not by to much. Had a rip with one the other day and from 50 to 120 I reckon he put about one car on me. Certainly nothing to cry about.

At the dragstrip I was pretty even with one well driven one (maybe one or two car lengths/one or two tenths of a second behind him over the 1/4 mile), and the other one I ran at the strip I put multiple bus lengths on him mostly because he couldn't launch it to save his life.

Wouldn't say it's ex owners slagging the car scag, it's more a case of I'm out the Audi/rs4 b7 bubble and realised that imo the b7 stock isn't a world beater. It's a good car for sure just for me personally bored the <beep> out me until I tinkered with it that's all

Its the best allround car ive ever owned,ive had allsorts of along the way so its a fair achievement in my book,but my b5 had a 0-60 of 4.8 the b7 5 years later again4.8 and still no improvement for yhe b8. Mine goes well but after 5 years between models you should be seeing an improvement of some kind.Its stayed the same for over a decade whilst all other models in the range have improved drastically.
