RS4 is larger than the one we’re using. We’re trying different throttle body sizes. There’s no sense in going larger if it doesn’t do anything, so we’ll try a few and see what’s up.
Arin, If it’s not too much trouble can you host it on here? I am in the office and can’t access youtube but can watch vids hosted here… If not no biggie I can watch when I get home this afternoon… Thanks!
60-130 in 9 shaky seconds. Is that fast? I have no idea.
Can you use a proxy to view it, or your phone?
I’ll pbox it before the release. We just hit up the local airport to do TTRS testing. I’m most likely not pboxing on the street anymore after my run in with the staties.
Arin, Phone is company issued so no… I hate cellphones and if my position didn’t require it I wouldn’t have it… Don’t sweat it I’ll watch later… How did it fair against the TTRS? I think I know but would like to hear…
I would wait till you get home primetime. It’s basically Arin filiming the speedo but from the passenger seat, so it’s on a bit of an angle…and they rip through a couple of gears, shutting down at 130 mph (speedo 130…so about 125).
60-130 (speedo 60-130…so about 57-125) showed around 9 seconds. Not sure if 8.2 seconds or 9.8 seconds…i just used the youtube counter which showed 17 start to 26 seconds at 130 indicated.
I guess that’s pretty fast knowing that my car was like 13.7-13.9 seconds which is probably what a stock B8 S4 would be since thye’re so similar performance wise.
edit just looked at Tsivas data: fastest stage 2 guys were around high 10s, low 11s but that was in perfect weather (-1000 feet) and with no passengers .
Stage 3 looks pretty quick.
It’s still pretty warm here, but it’s actually getting much nicer. I’m guessing it was in the high 70’s and fairly humid. Much better than the 90-100F humid summer days.
I’m in the same boat as you, Ron. Eager to watch!

Do tell
We’ll see what happens at the end of the month, but they weren’t happy.
that’s funny…he said that within 7 minutes of posting this video going 130 on the road lol
The time you mentioned is impressive given there’s a passenger, driver has an extra 2nd to 3rd shift at 60 that we normally don’t do (just start in 3rd at 50), and also has a slight holdup with the rev limiter at the top of third before the shift to fourth.
Our fastest pump summer time was iirc 11.00 secs for APR stage 2, stock cats.
Have you guys changed/upgraded the clutch? I thought you were on aftermarket already for some reason… could be wrong.
since the clutch is slipping in the video, I highly doubt that they’ve changed it
the car has a dxd disc and pressure plate
bummer
at least this confirms that that majority of people that complain about slipping arent making up excuses haha
No I’ve experienced it first hand dude in both S4 and S5 form. Nobody doubts that the clutch is weak I don’t think.
i was more poking fun at the b5 excuse list haha. i didnt realize the v8 s5 had the same issue i figured the car was too low on power(in N/A form) to force the clutch to slip
So you thought a 3800 lb AWD quattro car that makes 300 tq. isn’t making enough torque to make the clutch slip on a hard launch? And a ~360 tq B8 S4 does?
What colour is the sun in your sky old boy?
