Guys, you need to read Dragtimes a little slower, clearly says upgraded turbos, CAI, etc In 2381+ DA Tune only hi oct in either model would run mid to high 11's @ best..

I really wanted to stay with the AMG's but the RS7 is just too tempting with race gas + tune only set ups doing mid 10s

I knew they had upgraded turbos but on stock turbos and tuned for race gas they would go low 11s IMO...11.1x-11.3x. In 60 degree weather with 93 octane and downpipes they will go low 11's I think so mid 11's in that DA. Race fuel and tune has to add 40whp.


Someone mentioned the RS7 and it is a beast. I did a write up on it here somewhere as my friend has one tuned for race fuel and we are dead even (my V) rolling from 40mph to 180mph!

In nearly 2400+DA I'd bet as I said no better than mid 11's

Ok I'm totally confused here, I looked up the Stock stats on new RS7 C&D reports it's Curb Weight @ 4450 lbs w/560 hp 516 tq & C&D tested 0-60 3.4 seconds 1/4 11.6 Now factor in the APR stg 1 100 oct ECU tune it makes 728 hp 744 tq super impressive on a tiny 4.0 liter v8 & as we've seen it ran 10.6x 1/4 & now w/Stage 2 rated @ only a 22 hp increase to 750 hp it runs 10.15 @ 136 mph.. Something just isn't adding up in this latest Russian record no way is an extra 22 hp knocking nearly half a second off the 1/4??

APR's site w/Tune info.. http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_up...si_rs6rs7.html
Hell even the 10.6 record is bizarre as hell, like the bumble bee, physics state it shouldn't be able to fly, BUT IT DOES.. How is a 4450 lb awd rig able to do what it's doing? It should need 850+ bhp to run 10.15 not 750bhp???
