RS6 Questions: Anybody know.....???

  

joeyharp -> RS6 Questions: Anybody know.....??? (5/15/2005 9:17:34 PM)

Hi All.

I just landed an RS6 and I'm hoping that someone won't mind sharing some info that I have had a hard time finding via internet.....

The first thing I did was chip the CPU and the Tiptronic. I have plenty of experience with S4s and know what kind of 0-60 times/ quarter mile times I saw after simply chipping and changing the intake and exhaust on them but I have yet to take my RS6 to the track and I'm curious to know what only the chip mods will do to the acceleration data. Does anyone know? I could swear that the 0-60 feels just as strong as my SL55 and my Vette but I'd like to know if I'm just losing my mind! Turbos can decieve, I've learned. The snap felt at full boost can make you forget about the fractions of seconds lost before full boost was reached.

I have searched the cyber-world over and can't find 0-60/quarter mile data on modded RS6s.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Joe

I have a chipped RS6. The times 0-60 vary, depending on the type of chip, what else is done to the car, etc. Generally with a chip from APR, which is what I have, it puts the time somewhere in the 4.3-4.5 time. I have heard a lot of other numbers, but this is probably your overall average; 4.3 being on a nice, cold day and 4.5 being just your average street time. The RS6 should be just as powerful as the SL, and the Vette. But don't forget, the sweet spot of the RS6 is not necissarily the 0-60 time, it's more impressive from 60-120. The chip will add more power overall, not just in acceleration from a stand still. With a chipped RS6 on the highway you should be able to hang with just about anything in a dead sprint from 60. Also, if you have the right software on your chip, it should be compatible with higher octane fuels. My car has exhaust and the chip and is rated at about 535 hp. With 100 octane fuel I have been told it could boost the horsepower up to 550 or so.

i just recently chiped [apr] my rs6 i also changed the diverter valves,air filter and was told im at 535hp.if you did your exhaust you are probably at 550+.how much did you pay for your exhaust?and did it make a noticible diffrence?

I did the exhaust, chip, euro wheels, clear coat bra, and put laser jammers in the front and rear bumpers all at once, so I am not quite sure how much the exhaust alone costs. However, I think it was somewhere in the 2500 range installed. Since I did the chip and exhaust at the same time I am not sure how much difference the exhaust by itself makes. The sound is incredible once you get it warmed up. You really notice a huge difference when you are rolling through a parking lot. Some people like the dual tips on either side, and some like the stock ovals, but if I remember correctly you can have either tips with the APR exhaust, but I may be wrong about that. I get all my parts through my Audi salesman, and he gets everything at some discounted price. He loves to do all this stuff to his clients cars so he doesn't mind using his discount. He keeps trying to talk me into putting different turbos in my car but I don't think that I will. I like my car the way it is. If you go through your Audi salesman though, he may be able to get you your exhaust for a discounted price.
