Re: took a 0-100mph video

Would be really interesting to see what the power curve looks like since a decat RS6 with a map can get that kind of power and I bet it's pushing more with the hybrid turbos. Are there any trusted rolling roads near you? Yeah but there booked up for a month in advance , will just have to wait :-/ R...

Re: took a 0-100mph video

What kind of power is the car supposed to have? Looking at the vid I would guesstimate the only thing that makes it faster than my and some other cars on here is the manual gearbox, it doesn't appear to have considerably more power. Hi mate , I don't know the bhp :-/ , your right in the fact it pro...

Re: performance pub talk

I get the feeling some people need to read up on the history of the car and gather the facts, the NOS was used to cool engine! Just curious... how is nitrous oxide is used to cool the engine without it ending up in the inlet charge? Nos / water sprayed directly onto the intercoolers & pipework keep...

Re: 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 ...

Re: took a 0-100mph video

Sorry, but the time can’t really be regarded as anywhere near accurate, it could be 2-3 seconds out (not to mention the speedo over reads), and that doesn’t sound like much, right? But 2-3 seconds is the difference between an RS 6 and a hot hatch in a 0-60 run. Say another 3 seconds in the 0-100 ti...

Re: few pics

I am old fashioned but with all my cars including the 6 I turn to ignition, give her 5 secs or so to prime, do base checks etc, then fire up. That also stops the bitching about the washer level. Also, did you do that revving on a stone cold engine? Just asking. been quite a few trips in it that day...
