Performance

Post by V800RS6 » Thu Jan 12, 2012 7:41 pm

Anyone any idea how our beast compare to the latest RS5, RS6 etc...?

Book speed 0-60 for standard motors look similiar, so can't really compare there, but anyone any idea how our motors would perform say 30-70, or 60-100 etc...?

Just interested, incase i meet one on a dark night somewhere...!

I would like to think the RS5, with lower torque, same break, wouldn't be able to keep up...but i maybe wrong....!

Are you mapped or standard? Mapped ours are 800+NM, I doubt their N/A siblings have anywhere near that amount of torque.

It would be nice to establish a method and list of 30-70 times for different levels of tune.

Difficult to say. In theory the cars are similar power, but in reality the RS5s are proving to be down on power like the RS4s. Would be an interesting match.

A friend of mine runs this website, and has a pretty comprehensive list of performance cars compared. It also takes into account modified cars.

The picture he's got for the C5 RS6 is very wrong. That's what the C6 RS6 was going to look like...
