You have to attribute it to the transmissions. Besides being tunable, the ZF8 is holding whatever tq that has been thrown at it on the Audis and when you’re able to use the power you have the times drop accordingly. Hopefully the MCT gets figured out for the W213 because it’s already falling behind.
do you think there is meat left on the bone to tune the MCT for faster shifts? i feel like the car kind of nose dives when it shifts. is it just me?

If I did, I probably wouldn’t be in an RS7 right now. We never found a way around those symptoms in the W212 so I’m skeptical it will be any different now.
Don't know if I have "the most tuned car", but I have upgraded turbos, tune, air filters and bov's.
Was considering adding meth injection, then decided against it as I have other stuff I want to put some effort and money into. Like a dedicated track car.
I also have catless downpipes, but had to remove them due to unhappy neighbors. Booo
how did that conversation with the neighbors go? was it like a “could you please not have downpipes” or did they like report you or something?
I'm about to take delivery of my Brabus tuned E63 S Wagon - 800PS, 1,000 NM via tune, turbos and exhaust. Plenty of exterior and interior mods too.
What was that process like? Who did you contact, what did you do, how long did it take? What did you pay? lol 790hp/737ft lb isn't too wildly impressive. You can get close to that with stage 2 tune and some downpipes, no? Unless it's at the wheels. Then that's *******g nuts.

It was done through Mercedes UK Retail with a new build car, delivered to Brabus to be modified before delivery and registration. It has a 3 year warranty and is "official" (think Alpina/BMW) not hacked.
It will be my daily so I'm quite happy with 800PS and 1,000NM reliably delivered.
Prices are on their website, there's quite a big menu. They've had my car in the studio this week so expect a full portfolio on their website/IG/FB soon.

Not quite so eloquent. More like neighbors coming out, wide eyed, screaming WTF!!!! Hahaha
Asking me if my car was broken and how quickly it would be fixed. Could I start it "quieter" as their baby was sleeping. etc. Keep in mind I seem to live in an apartment complex with a good number of "older people". I was hoping the hearing would be gone and they wouldn't notice.
Oh well, guess I was wrong and so chose to be a good community citizen.

I was just strolling by and saw this.. man unless you park your car in a crowded parking garage and cold start it everyday, your neighbors need to mind their damn business. Catless downpipes on your NEIGHBORS car (unless you guys are roommates or something, but even then) isn't going to ruin their lives and honestly I would tell them to choke on a fat C*** before I even consider spending my hard earned money to appease some jealous neighbors. I have catless downpipe and res delete on m157 . never heard one complaint from a neighbor. when you are inside the house and the car is in the closed garage, you can still barely hear it so I'm calling BS on it being a problem for neighbors... but anyways thats your call and it seems you made the decision already lol i'm just laughing at the situation because it sounds absurd

Just saw this post, I guess if you live in an apartment complex where everyone is in close proximity then that makes sense.

Mopes recorded a 100-200 time which I think was in the 4s and 60-130 in the 5s with the YP Stage 4 Turbos - hes still tuning and said wasn't running NOS. Might be incorrect, Instagrams playing up so can't get accurate times right now.
