a friend of mine who owns a passat (not sure what year, but semi-new) told me he was reading on a VW forum that if before starting your car, you turn the key halfway to just get power and then push the accelerator all the way down and hold it for a few seconds, let off the gas and then start the car, it will have entered into some kind of sportier mode where the car revs higher and is just a little bit quicker. I wasn't sure if this was just some load of crap somebody was feeding or what but I figured the V-dub's and the Audi's being so similar it might work on my a4 as well if it were true. anyone ever heard of such a thing?

 

dude this is BS. i know BMW on there 6-series has a launch mode where you pull back on both the paddels and it holds 4500 rpm

 

And on the new m5 there is something one mode is 400 hp and the other is the 500 hp mode.......on the v10 only

 

i dont thing that true on the VW/audis but i love the crazy power botton on the M5 nuthin like a 100hp boost on command

 

it don´t works with an audi

 

th M5 only comes in V10. My dad is on the list. he saigned up a year ago. They made him pay up front. But the cool thing is he takes delivery in Germany. BMW pays for 2 tickets and 18 days in germany. they pay for driving school with your car. and when you return home you drop the car off at a carrier and BMW pays to have it shipped to your house

 

That's fucken awesome, and such a good idea to get people obsessed with your car. M5 or S6..? well, with the M5...

 

To pull confusion out because old m5 = v8. Sweet when he gets it pics!!!!

 

of course. I tried talking him into a CL65 AMG V12 BiTurbo but he wanted the M5 instead. What an idiot!

 

so i don't have to look around, what's the price compare on those 2? If they're similar.. then yeah.. biturbo V12. period. Though I hate the look of most Mercedes'.
