Hi all

Long story but a friend of mine has just emailed me saying they are having a debate in their office about which would be quicker a tuned RS6 or a standard GTR over a timed mile..

I would have thought a standard RS6 would be able to hold it's own?!.. Anyone done it or know and times?... ta

Nissan GTR 0-150 takes 20 seconds.
RS6 (standard) takes 26.8

I don't even think 500bhp would take that figure down to 20. Has anyone v-boxed theirs?

I'm afraid the 6 has no chance. I tried a head to head with a GTR, albeit my cat is a 'meagre' 450 bhp, and there was not really a contest ..

C5s are 5 years old though!

Nissan
1,730 kg

Audi RS6 avant
1,865 kg

Possibly.................

I must admit I was royally spanked by a black GTR north of Birmingham last month

They are superb cars in my opinion, but I love my Audi!

Let them fall into my price range and I may be tempted!

They're supposed to be rapid. I was gonna take the plunge to get one a few weeks ago before seeing sense. They'll be a good used buy in a few years.

Don't they have gearbox problems ?

Something to do with the launch mode ?

Even so give it a couple of years...............

Once the kids have left home.....

Yes please !

I heard a story that one guy got stumped with a big bill (in its thousands) after he took it back to Nissan trying to claim under warranty.

Long story short, Nissan did a data-log (the thing is a computer on wheels) and found out that he had been launching it at silly RPM before the advised run-in period and services etc. Needless to say, he had to foot the bill himself.

My mate's got one (selling it though), and I've been in it, and alongside/behind it in my RS6. It's in another league, whether you're remapped or not.

I have had a bash with a GTR.
M6 toll booths, alongside each other all the way in the queue, nodded, and he waited for me ( it was early).

rolling start, from maybe 10mph.

i was with him upto 100mph, really with him......maybe even a bit in front by an inch or two of nose, then something really strange happened. He disapeared. And I dont mean just faded away, it was like he hit a hyperspace button, by the time i hit the section where it narrows into 3 lanes, i was doing 160 and I could not see him.

Don't even go there is my advice, you get a guy who can drive and he will kill you in every way possible and then make you look stoopid for even trying.

I spoke to S4int/RS paul about this. Apparently at 100 mph, the aerodynamics kick in and its like an extra 100hp going to the wheels.

VERY VERY VERY QUICK CARS>

This will give you some idea of how rapid these things are.....

sh*t thats fast

Jeeezuz, that GTR is rapid it surely must be heavily modified tho as those bussa's are mad quick (been on the back of one at stupid speeds, never again)!
I know a lad who owns a black edition GTR and will deffo be asking him for a run in it now
