Did some test last night with the racelogic Vbox( b6 s4)

Good choice. Second best b6/7 s4 and b7 rs4 modification for results and the hne you consider that it’s free it’s incredible that everyone doesn’t do them.

Some news

same test road
now with 11 degrees Celsius 13-4 degree less.
This car go so much better in colder weather…

1/4 fuel
No spare wheel ,tools etc
complete tune up , plugs , oil , diff oil, air filter , fuel filter etc
new tyres 40psi front 37 back

1feet roll out

0-100 5,8 seg 0-60 5,5seg
0-200mts 9.0 seg at 129,1 km 80,28 mph
0-400mts 13.8 at 163,9km 101,9 mph
0-1000mts 25,2 seg at 211,7 km 131,65mph
100-150km 5,8 seg
100-200km 15,8 seg
0-200km 21,3 seg.
I repeat this runs 3 times all of them pretty much the same, 10-15 min to cool the car down at 60 mph on the highway in all the tests.
The “dyno” on the vbox got about 7-9 whp more. Its about what to expect with the improvements.

This week the cats are going out… test this mod and then jhm software.

Regards.

Hmmm…

Fuck. Bang on.

:wink: right on Saki.

I really hope to see with the piggies plus the JHM Tune 13,4 at 105 mph on the vbox.
Regards

who is driving it?

I predict 12.9 @ 109 in the cold

Almost saki

this car only has 8500 miles, its like new.

complete stock car euro s4 I think its lighter than the US spec…

All I can say the rs4 its so much better than the s4… :frowning:

pd .If I can get to make my tip s4 go like the rs4 Im done. ;D

Pocible a b8 rs4 for tomarrow.

that’d be cool to see

I said that about my b7 s4. And when I did it (I went 12.9 @ 107.8>, I went and bought an rs4 six months later.

You’re never, ever done. ;D

What was the launch technique on the rs4? Try revving to 3500 and just dropping it and then going full throttle. Sidestep. Don’t slip the clutch.

b8 rs4 confirmed

I did dump the clutch at 3200-300 rpm we are going to try again next week.
Well for me the rs4 its impocible at the moment … 60.000- us over here…

the b8 rs4 its fast… :o

Prediction time

12.45 @ 111.5

Well the new rs4 its a nice n/a machine… the 7 speed dsg box its fast as hell the launch control its the key for this car ( for the nice results)
Here it is…
full weight 2013 rs4 3/4 of tank 93 shell vpower

Pretty much spot on to Mistro’s Piggies+H-Pipe run. Interesting.
According to Motor Trend, the S8 is in the 11.8/11.9 territory. A little sad that the luxury cruising S8 accelerates quicker than the new RS4 no? Maybe it’s just me.

From Motor Trend (not sure how accurate these numbers are)

"Audi S8 hits 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and runs the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 118.3 mph.

Read more: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/1210_2013_audi_s8_first_test/viewall.html#ixzz2TYWpiklQ"

I see what you mean, but lets look at it another way.

“It’s sad that the $140,000 S8 is a faster accelerating car than the $75,000 RS4”

“It’s sad that the 525 hp S8 is a faster accelerating car than the 450 hp RS4”

“It’s sad that the flagship of Audi’s entire 4 door lineup is a faster accelerating car than the top model of the near entry level ‘4’ line”

Also, Turn it around a corner and you may understand quattro a little better. The S8 is a big expensive boat with a monstrous engine.

$140,000 vs. $75,000 -> The S8 is infinitely more luxurious than the RS4 with many more features. Furthermore, it’s in a top category that is willing to pay that kind of money (i.e. the market is able to bear that price). The profit margins are higher on higher end cars. The cost is reflecting the class of car, not the performance.

525hp vs. 450hp -> 4519 lbs vs. 3957 lbs = 8.6lbs/hp vs. 8.79lbs/hp -> Nearly the same (although we all know the S8 is way under-rated in terms of marketed hp numbers). That said, the hp shouldn’t really matter all that much. It’s Audi’s choice of what motor/power output the RS4 gets. They chose to give the new RS4 450hp. It’s the final performance the car is able to output that matters and what I’m comparing.

As for the entry level, again, who cares. The RS4 is supposed to be more “performance oriented” car than an S8.
Yes, the RS4 is better in the twisties, but that’s taking the conversation on to a tangent. I was solely talking about acceleration numbers. An RS4 would beat an S8 hands down on a road track. I was only comparing the two in a straight like acceleration.

What is the RS4’s main competition? (from a buyer’s perspective I mean, not overall competition.)

Furthermore, even if the new RS4 came to North America, for approx. $13,000, an existing B7 S4 Avant owner is able to match the RS4’s stock performance (minus the cool new features). Would be a tough sell. And the current B8 S4 Avant in Europe can almost match the RS4’s performance with some tuning.

Now if the RS4 had gone into 11.8 territory in stock form with pump gas (like the S8), that’s a different story. The B7 S4 Avant can’t reach those numbers without spending big money and the B8 S4 Avant can’t either unless it’s on race gas. Now a buyer would be able to more easily consider trading up to a newer model.

In the end though, I don’t really care. I’ll never own one so meh. Audi does what they want, people will buy what they want, and the world will continue to spin :slight_smile:

That’s my point though…straight line acceleration is one of the things quattro cares about. They care much more about corners etc. The RS4 would rape the S8 in any other performance test. Braking, slalom, lap time.

Further, you can’t brush off the fact that the S8 is a $140,000 car. Or that it makes way more hp and a shitload more torque. To do an hp/lb calculation is a bit disingenuous. The S8 has been dynod at 450 WHP and 425 WTQ.

Frankly I don’t think anyone is surprised/sad that the S8 is faster in a straight line. Just you really. You think that Mercedes is sad that the S63 is faster than the C63? Or that the M5 absolutely RAPES the M3? Of course not.

The RS4’s competition?

C63 6.2 V8 NA - 450 hp
M3 4.0 V8 NA - 410 hp
ISf 5.0 V8 NA - 420 hp
