Hmm, guys, i'm jealous :( My 2.8 is not that fast then 2.7 T :( Before i bought 2.8 i was thinking about 2.7T, but that Twin turbos maked me scare. Turbos have to be repaced over 100k. Now i'm enjoying my smoothy ride called 2.8 :)

If you think 60-to-100 feels fast in a stock 2.7T, try chipping it. You get pushed back into the seat and it's in triple figures in no time. And I rarely bother to downshift - just leave in it 6th.
Good job on the win.
Now that I got a liitle taste of the audi speed rush, I really want to get mine chip also. I have always baby my car when I accelerate, but wow, that car is a beast when I stepped on it hard. It got both the beauty and the power. Does chipping work for the automatic also or only for manual?

Chipping works for both auto and manual tranny. If you want even more performance out of your auto you can even get a transmission ECU upgrade from GIAC that makes the shifting lighting fast. I'd love to have both, but not sure when I will be able to justify the cost.
I guess the chip itself isn't so bad, but then you add on new DVs, a throttle body boot, piggy pipes....it all starts to add up.

Hey guys. What about A6 (2.7 of course) vs. Charger? My friend (a girl) has V8 Hemi whatever that means and she said it will smoke me like nobody's business. And I think she's right. I checked the specs and her beast has somewhere around 450 HP. I know the car performance is sum of all factors not only pure HPs but she has like 200HP more which should take care about pretty much everything.
Now I know I can smoke these Chargers with loud paintwork. You know what I mean. I think they call it Daytona SRT or something like that. (pardon my ignorance)

To chanrith, im glad you raced the v6 mustang, cause buying a musting with a six is like dating a girlfriend withou tits its just not as much fun. And to Stank0 yah I think you will have a hard time against the charger, it is going to do close to a 5 second 0-60, depending on the driver im assuming its a stick, if its not tell her to go buy one that is. If your chipped and have a catback exhaust and think your a better driver and if your car is a stick you may win. I would just do it anyway just for laughs, she cant say much you have a 250hp six and she has a poorly made v8 with 450hp. It be great if she missed a gear and you ended up winning :)

Couldn't agree with you more. The outside looks alrite, but the inside just looks cheap. The highway troopers started to use a lot of these cars now in where I live for chasing after sport car.

Awesome work on spanking the stang... Do you know I can not find anyone to run me??? I have an 03 A6 Quattro Sport 4.2L with an APR ECU upgrade, Hotchkins sway bars, Tein coil overs, K&N Filter, Brembo rotor kit and a nice addition in my trunk. So without the addition in my trunk I am only running 350-360ish and with the little beauty in the trunk it puts me at 525.. I do not see why people will not run me?????

All the Daytona is, is a Charger R/T with stickers on it (5.7L V8 340 HP, 4000 lbs) the engine is nice, the transmission is not for racing, they use the Chrysler 300 transmission.....you can beat this one. The Charger SRT-8 and the 300 SRT-8 will laugh at you all day (6.1L V8 425HP), don't do it to yourself.

Yea, I think I took one of them R/Ts by surprise. I was getting on I95 on really sharp ramp. And while I was accelerating, he couldn't go as fast on that curve. When we got on the highway, we were already doing 60-65. On the straight road he stepped on it, but I had the RPMs and he gave up when we were doing around 125-130 with him still behind me.
I drive 03 stock A6 with sports option btw.
Aren't some of them chargers awd too?
Oh and when you all talking about understeer.. what are you talking about??? I never exporienced any understeering. If I make fast sharp turn, she just turns. The tires will squeal a bit, but the slide is totally balanced.
Now I know if you push it beyond limits and "fishtail" quattro, it's much harder to recover. It happened to me with my old Audi 200. (no esp/abs) on the snow thaks to my stupidity. I recovered only thanks to big deal of luck. (in my young years I thgought I'm invincible - thank god I survived those years without an accident).
If it was OT, sorry.

LOL I know what understeer means, I just never experienced it with my car so I was wondering what all you people are talking about.
Maybe it's that sport option I've got. I'm not sure what everything it contains - I didn't drive the "regular" A6, (only 100 and 200s) but my car feels totally balanced.

Your crazy k5gixxer! There's no way you could keep up with a Mustang GT! They must have had a manual and didn't know how to drive (shift) well because I've beat many an Audi Mostly I like ti kill A8 Quattro's and still looking for a A8 W12 to embarrass! By the time I shift into 3rd all the Audi drivers whimp out cuz I have a full car to 1 1/2 car length lead! That was with an stock '06.

Good job! I just saw this post! I have raced the new 2007 V8 mustang GT's and stayed with them. On the highway i usually get the advantage and pull out about a car length before they give up. From the dig.......I usually get about 1.5 to 2 car lengths and they they stay there. The Quattro's definitely help here! When the Turbo's spool up things get a little further between us but nothing extrodinary...just a slight cruise ahead of them a little more. It's funny when they go to grab a gear the Stang's lose about a 1/2 car length each time!
I have race a really niced "2 FAST, 2 FURIOUS" Newer 350Z before This guy had it all. I had my son with me and he was checking out the car as was I. Right before the light turned green he wanted to rev on me but I ignored him and laughed it off. I guess he really wanted to race cuz he rolled down his window and called me a "Pussy!"......Now he had my attention. He took off an got a good start ahead of me....Then all of a sudden this grocery getter....completely stock BTW goes buzzing past him! I slowed down for him and then he wants to go from a roll-on.....Okay.....That one was worse than from the stop sign! He had no chance at all! I slowed down again, I was done fooling around, and as he passed my son and I rolled down the window and we were laughing our asses off and pointing at him as he went by!!!!! So funny!
I will tell you though. I raced the new 07 Accord? They guy was with me better than the fixed up 350z! I don't know if he had anything done but wow! I would get the jump but he was there from then on and I could not pull away. We stopped at the light and he asked me what kind of stuff was on my car and looked surprised when I told him it was stock. He must have had something done to his accord but that one was fast!

Great forum and very entertaining. Congrats on the win. I love how people underestimate these cars and are then beaten by them.
I've raced a few different cars myself. I kept up pretty good with my friends Crossfire which wasn't much of a race. We were taking a left turn and he decided to gun it so I was like Ok, and he had less than half a cars length ahead of me. Those new Mercury Sables have a lot of surprising power. The Premier ones I think it is. My friends dad has one and we raced just for fun one night down an empty 1/4 and he kept up pretty decently. Raced this one mexican kid with a suped up Acura. An oldie, mid 90's I think. Supposedly "300 hp". Smoked him with his girlfriend with him hahaha. One of my friends just got a new 08' Mustang with the V8 and manual. I don't think its a GT though. I'll race him after I get my cylinder misfire fixed but do I even have a chance? It pulls really hard. I've also been challenged by someone whose supposedly supposed to get a Pontiac GTO. Any chance against both of these?

The mustang question was kinda answered by k5gixxer and ovrpar. But this one is an 08' not an 07' and I dont think its a GT. Any difference?

An Audi A8 W12 isn't really a car anyone would race. If you find one some rich guy will probably be driving it back to their house which has a garage full of exotics.
