Great job, those times are disgustingly good for this car! I think I'm speechless. Great job VRP! I bet you're happy you didn't sell that thing now, right? Now, how much can I sell a kidney for, or maybe even half my liver? I want a V12TT like crazy.

Your worst nightmare...
Thank You All!!!

Gentlemens!!! Thank you all for the good wishes. I am just taking all this in and trying to digest the excitement

Juice- It feels like a million dollars believe it or not. Just so happy car was able to deliver. The VRP package is just unbelivable. The car drives so smooth yet with 800+ horses at your fingertips...step on it the wrong way with esp off and it will make you pay.

prodigy- Wish I could make it to e-town today but need slicks and I am tied up at work. Next time for sure bud. I will PM you when I do go...eventhough after one pass the night will be over for me.

I still think if I would have driven with 100 octane ECU would have advanced timing and we would have seen better traps. Not to mention I am only running stock pump. That's right only 1 pump (stock) upgrading next week to 2...

I would like to thank some people for their efforts and for making this happen:


VRP (Victor Aka Vrus)- There are not enough words to express gratitude you practically told me take the package and pay as you go. I just couldn't disappoint you Vic! Your package is the real deal. You show me where a 4600+ black bison could get into the almost mid 10’s and I will be a believer. Just wanted to thank you publicly. Your products and service are unremarkable. Thanks Vic!

Marcin Aka Dsmed- I have spent more time with Marcin than any other person in these last few weeks. LOL! I text him night and day, morning, dinner, lunchtime, you name it….Marcin is a mastermind behind the whole process along with Victor. He has walked me thru trouble shooting some small issues to how to get acquainted with power and how to extract even more power from the car (don't get jealous Marko lol..) …


Jeffrey- My personal Tech (not in the Board) I thank my tech gratefully for all the advice and all the efforts he puts into my car. This guy is a car nut!. The passion for AMG cars we share are amazing. There is not a day I call him and tell him I need help and he refuses to help. Greatly appreciate his help for helping me with install and getting my car where it's at. Thanks Jeff!

John Nouri Aka bp95gsx- While installing Intercoolers we broke off Boost Pressure sensor. Car was not going to be able to run properly. We thought we were not going to make it to MIR. I was frustrated and had tried to contact every person I though that had a V12. Trust me some said no (rightfully so because the sensor is very fragile and becomes crystallized and could break while removing) I did not held it against no one! I would have said no myself!! LOL! But Victor told me “call John” tell him he is doing a favor for me…I called john and this guy not only lent it to me…he said take it and bring it back when ever you can. He took it off his car and gave it to me…still have it…Just amazing the help and support he provided. Thanks John! He has a shop over in NJ top Notch! I will be visiting more often.

Dennis Aka Kwik SC- Thanks for your help D! Thank you for taking the drive with me to pick up the drag wheels. I will return them this week. Did not get to use them but thanks for the support.

Tom/Ahmad/ Jay / Marko- I have thanked you guys too many times…Thanks for your help, sportsmanship and advices.
Jay you are one hell of a driver. Thanks for lending me your drag radilas man..MT's 260 stick like glue..nuff said...You set the bar high for me every minute bro. Even though it’s my car it takes skills to nail a 1.5 60 footer. Ahmad and Jay make it look easy but it’s not…LOL.
Ahmad- your car is the ultimate sleeper, congrats for killing your times a bit more a you are passing all the V12’s!
Tom- your car is an animal as well bro...can't leave her out..moderate but strong. Thanks for dinner man!

Marko…I know you and jay were in a D** swinging contest last night…LOL…I think you still hold the record for fastest Benz by .001 seconds…just have to go back to the drawing board. As it stand on drag times, if I post that would make me 1st I believe but it’s really not. Not until you post your slips. Its ok I want to squeeze a 10.60...coming right up. LOL .Thanks for your help as well! You have definitely raised the bar.

Finally would like to thank my friends for sticking with me, my lil Bro
Joel! This guy Nailed an 11.06 at 126 in his first time ever driving my car...LOL...After he drove it he was speechless…he had never driven my car...tells you the kind of power the car has…when he came back he said he almost swallowed his tongue on launch, was speechless.

My friend GoDavAMG for driving down with me. Thanks Bro...your car is an animal as well...once you get some tires I see you sub 11.5's easy.

As of right now the beast is realxing and being pampered with a detail... `

Videos are being extracted should be up and running tomorrow or tonight.
11.5's I want 10s 10s. Congrats you did it this time

Nice 60ft and sick runs!

Just curious, were you guys expecting higher trap speeds out of the VRP825 package? I know there are a couple 65s trapping the same 126-128 which only have Renntech software. So if you run no cats, the VRP intake, VRP intercoolers, etc, etc., wouldn't you expect to be trapping quite a bit higher, especially if the same car trapped 124 with no VRP parts and a stock ECU/TCU?

Badass times.................and in a 4700lb car as well. Everytime I see a 65 hit the 10's it makes me think of the times that could be run if you found a way to shave 1,000lbs off the car. Can you say single digit Mercedes?

Yep, not to mention the more weight you remove, the more reliable the car becomes since you're taking stress off of driveline parts like the rear end, half shafts, etc.

The only snag is that removing 100lbs from a 4700lb car is not going to equal a tenth in the 1/4 mile. It'll be be closer to half a tenth. This is because removing 100lbs from a 4700lb car has only 50% the effect as removing that same 100lbs from a 2350lb car.

I like your thinking though and I might be picking up a second RS6 to see how fast I can go with it with bigger turbos and some weight reduction. Unlike the 65 though, the cheapest ones don't cost $40K to $50K. I can get a high mileage RS6 for $12K right now.

Have you worked on a RS6 before? PITA and they are pretty unreliable. But for $12k its worth it. I love the RS6 when it's running right. Just hate wrenching on them

Yep, they definitely are a PITA to work on. Everything's more crammed in there than even a B5 S4! However, if I do buy a second RS6 and turn it into a POS, it will be a lot easier to work on when all of the junk has been removed from it. If you look at the Champion Racing RS6 pics, you'll see what I mean.

In terms of reliability, I dunno, mine's been stone axe reliable, knock on wood. The DRC suspension is a total POS, but Audi just came out with a recall for it, so no out of pocket expense there. As far as the tranny goes, I think it'll survive with a little weight reduction.

Marc, thanks for your comments and good observation. My guess is when my car trapped the 128 it was on 93 octane more like 6-7 gallons and 2 gallons of 100. The tune I have is for 100 octane, don't know if ity makes much of a difference. In combination to that I am using the stock intercooler pump which does not flow as efficient as a Cm30 or even the famous Cm90 pump. I will eliminate all these possibilities and head to the track in 2 weeks, with 100 octane and a higher flowing pump. If it doesn't trap 129-130 then we will go back to the drawing board with VRP.

Yea I've pulled motors on both the B5 S4 and the RS6. RS6 is even more crammed. If you can lighten it up like your S4 it should roll out!

I know 3 guys in the area with RS6's. Two have had turbos fail, and all 3 have had trans/torque converter issues. I just hate workin on Audi's ughh
