Default A3 0-60 Time

Manufacturers claim from Audiusa website for 2007 A3 3.2 Quattro w/ auto transmission is 5.9 seconds. Sometimes car websites exagerate performance or MPG, etc. Does anyone know from experience that this 0-60 time is indeed 5.9 seconds?

I got ~6 secs. in sport mode and downhill on a highway entry ramp. I seriously doubt 6-speed mode could top 7...but maybe I can try

Actually, I think that is spot on for the 3.2Q. The 2.0T gets much faster than it's stated time, depending on mods.



Cheers!

5.9 is likely with Launch Control. Stock A3 3.2 in NA will get around 6.5.

Is Launch Control an option on the 3.2? I didn't know about that.

My Audi info says 5.9 for the 3.2 S line and 6.7 for the 2.0T.

It doesn't say if it was DSG or Manual. (Average?)

It does list 'top track speed' at 130 mph for both, with a note at the bottom that says 'Top track speed electronically limited to 130 mph in the U.S. (209 km/h in Canada).'

A chip will get rid of that speed limiter.

I don't think any of the A3's have launch control. Perhaps (and this is just an assumption) he is talking about traction control.
