An RS6 with a Stage 1 chip like mine does a 12.8 in the quarter and a low 4 second 0-60...

I'm sure one would give you some real good 'entertainment' ....kinda the same numbers...525bhp/500lbs torque with chip, about 4200 lbs.

Don't mess with them in the rain tho...they stick like glue.

I sure would sell both of my Audis though if I could find a E55 or E63 wagon.

One thing I know for sure though,
there is always one faster so its always a crap shoot.

I have been beat in the cobra & benz before and all I can do is give kudo's to the few who pull me and enjoy the majority of which I can pull.

Plus like the epost above says about audis "Don't mess with them in the rain tho...they stick like glue" its a fact !!

The RS6 isn't w/o its major problems tho as you know...torque converters and the suspensions that fail alot. But they check all the boxes otherwise. That a nice thing to say you like them considering your stable. Nice.

A stock E55 should beat a stock RS6 all day long from stoplight to stoplight....but 500 dollars of software allows for another level of performance to be had.

An AWE tune rocks with that torque ! That car def would need an upgraded TC sooner than later.

There are a few, but the chances you'll run into one is slim to none.

it is imposibble that a stock E55 will be faster than RS6 V10TT from stoplight to stoplight.

a tuned one was head to head with me untill 305km. and mine is heavily modded. well Jeremy tuned the RS6 and it got almost 100AWHP on a mustang.

don't underestmate these cars if they are tuned.

He was referring to the older, V8TT RS6. Here in the US we're not lucky enough to receive the new V10TT RS6 wagon.....or I'd be driving one right now.

Brabus K8 E55 05
I walked RS6 2010 so easy with my car, at that time I had whatever in my signature now minus (OE tune, EvoSport wires, Cats were on). The Brabus pulley size is around 168 - 172 mm (not sure)

Stock for stock our cars are much faster in a straight than the RS6, but with that said, the RS6 was meant for a different purpose, and in its own way it is a truly magnificent car, and unfortunately too rare around these parts (SoCal)

How fast we talkin'? I was always curious as to how fast these could get.

ok...so pre DBR set up, i had stage 2 Eurocharged tuned, 530/632...now I will be taking the DBR set up to E-town next month, but she puts out 650/780...and actually I had to use the Dahlback tune, as soon as I can Jerry up to my neck of the woods, then we think 700/800....and given the cosworth(thankfully before Audi sold Cosworth, they used their V8) internals, that is max HP before swapping rods/pistons and other internals.

With stage 2 Renntech mods I haven't found an Audi I couldn't pull on. Each time I tell myself that was the last time I was going to pull the trigger, but they keep asking for it and I just_cant_resist.

I miss my RS6,

Had the Revo chip in it but caused alot of problems like, blown turbos x 2 ,cause tranny to break to but all under warranty.

Probably should have done the MTM chip but its all in the past now.





Had to sell as it had no more warranty to give

Very nice, the fastest color....I will be holding on to mine for some time, unless AoA ever decides to bring over RS5/6

The B5 S4 (twin turbo V6) now a days are getting rediculously fast and a "stage 3" S4 is like the dime a dozen everybody has it type of mod which is just a slightly larger oem turbo upgrade going from the K03 to the K04 and then there are variations of the K04 that can make slightly more power (RS6/K04 hybrid or the new Frankenturbos) being 2 examples.

The thing is they can vary quite a bit in performance from cars that trap in the 114 range up to 120mph range depending on the tuning and supporting mods with the basic "stage 3" upgrade.

Now there are more and more people running the GT turbos or the new Tial turbo kits though (605 and 770, mostly the 605) with all of them (with upgraded rods) making over 500whp with the 605 kit and all of the 770 cars at 600 but there are only a few of them out there so far (these numbers are on pump and meth injection) with the best one at 700whp on race gas and lots of meth injection at 40psi of boost.

A few 60-130 times

60 - 130 mph (96.5-209.2 kph)
Vbox times
*6.19 - D-Shot / AMD Built Tial 770 Kit / 92 oct w/ Meth / 1 shift (RS4 trans)
6.91 - Z-Tuned (Alex) / ARD GT28R Kit / 93 oct w/ Meth / 2 shifts
8.6 tweetss4estate K04 RS6 CHRA no DPE file recorded just data read out on performance box 1.5 deg slope
*9.47-tweetss4estate E85 K04(RS6 CHRA) 22psi spike and hold w meth. 2 shifts 1.5 deg down slope


And another video for you guys. This is a basic "stage 3" car with K04 turbos but he has some tweaking done to his tune and his car is a well running example of the stage 3, but like I said, he would get beat by all these other cars that have been turned out lately with the new tial turbo craze and not just beat but destroyed by many.

I currently have an Audi so know a lot about them, I am going to be purchasing an E55 here in the next few months unless I run in to some major problems.

My friend just ran a 11.3@123 in his stage 3 S4 I have the time slip in my car because I raced him at the track.

S4s can be made very fast,this one is custom tuned using winols and tunerpro.He never even got to re run it with a little more agressive tune because they threatened to ban him for life if he pulled anything faster than a 11.5 so he gave up after 1 run.

I think he trapped 98 in the 1/8th also

It came from your neck of the woods, San Francisco and I Fed-Ex'd it to Atlanta back in 2004.
Even though I love my E63 I still miss the RS6 because there were so few of them.

Who is your friend? Do you know his username on Audizine?

There are a few guys that have been able to run that low of an ET with Stage 3 and have actually trapped that or higher but it is very rare. Was that time with open downpipes and on race gas and then probably running the turbos ragged at like 25psi?

Speaking of Audis, has anyone seen the latest C&D article on the new TT-RS? 12.1@113 from the factory.
