djcevo, that's v. impressive. Absolutely phenomenal performance!!!!

Out of interest what's the yellow light flickering on and off on the dashboard?

Post by **PhilT** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 2:55 pm

That's the traction control (ESP)

Good to see it flickering on right upto 160mph

Very impressive upto 80mph and then it eases off. Also a notable lull after 120-125 which no doubt explains why Audi are so proud of the 0-125 figure rather than 0-150mph

I do agree, however the 0-150mph (22 secs) is only 1 sec slower than an E60 M5 - if you were to get a blinding start in one.

Another reason why manufactures bang on about the 0-125 (actually 124mph) is because this is quoted more in Europe as 124mph equates to 200KPH....

That was great

...very impressive

Was the ESP flickering because you had it switched off?

I emailed quattro GmbH who stated that they will be doing a speed limiter package from about build week 22 onwards If I recall correctly (see speed limiter post) and that it will cose about 2000 euros, and raise the limiter to 175mph approx.

Riz

mtm are doing re-mapped speed limiter for 799 euros in the uk soon, with change you can buy new milltec exhaust, speak to kim qst !!

yes ESP was flickering because it was switched off for the standing start.
