It shouldn't. Unless you're in Brasil?mavada wrote:its kind off strange cooling down the turbos when stationary, because when im in a trafficjam the temp will rise....

Re: 0-60 time
I have some questions about the 0-60 or in my case 0-100kmph (do not want to fool more peeps) as I once mentioned i did a 0-60 in 3.2 secs with my stock RS6. 
I have performance box and that is how I did my runs.
the first run I did I did with Tt in D and floored the pedal.. best result: 0-60 3.2s and 0-100 5.3s
two weeks later I tried again this time Tt in S two runs results: 0-60 in 2.7 and 2.6s 0-100 strangly enough in both cases 5.2s (ohh and uhm I had the ESP still on)
I was wondering why the end result remains the same as where my 0-60 at best was .6s faster?
Is this normal behaviour? if not what would/could be the cause. What can I check, as I do have Vagcom.
I know about a the launch technic of a Canadian Pal who did a 3.5s: step on the brakes and use the throttle until about 2k RPM then release and then floor the throttle and passing 2kRPM again release the brake...and off you go.
I have never done this (yet) as it is ofcourse a huge strain on the Tt (as he has proven) and I want to try and keep mine working.

Re: 0-60 time
I believe the performance box is GPS based, that's what causes the time difference probably not that the car was actually .6 faster to 60 k's. I have used GPS loggers for acceleration measurements and sometimes you will get a few tenths faster time somewhere because the GPS speed calculation sometimes makes a little jump, and then you "lose" the same amount of time right after that when it gets back to the correct speed. So in truth the error was probably in the measurement.micdee wrote: I was wondering why the end result remains the same as where my 0-60 at best was .6s faster?

Re: 0-60 time
I suspect an accelerometer based box like a g-tech RR. I've got one of these and they're precise to about 1 second 
It is wildly affected by even slight inclines and disturbances, so unless you have a handy salt flat nearby they are next to useless (for absolute measurements, anyway). I have given up on it for anything other than before / after stuff on the same road (and in the same direction).
I use the accelaration test of the Vagcom now. The timing is good and the VSS is accurate enough to get a good idea of your 0-60.
Don't think I ever got better than 5.0 or 5.2. Can't remember now.
EDIT: mph, of course.

Re: 0-60 time
Checked, it is GPS. That explains the anomaly. They will be accurate 90% of the time anyway, near 100% if the run is long enough (it gets more accurate as the rate of acceleration drops because you are limited by the update frequency of the GPS)
I use freeware racechrono and a bluetooth 5Hz GPS unit, it's amazingly accurate in the right conditions. To less than .1 of a second and for less than 50 quid total.PerformanceBox is a GPS based Performance meter for measuring your vehicle's speed, g-force and handling and helps you improve your track driving skills.

Re: 0-60 time
Not tried it yet with the 6!
The 850 managed a 5.8 0-60mph once with front wheel drive, a quaife diff and semi slicks IIRC.
