Nice to see an owner who plans to “test” his new RS7 at the strip this weekend…

I made the mistake of popping my head in there, now I got AudiB8S4 flirting with me again.
Guesses on stock times?
Low 11’s?
Yeah, I noticed… lol He is a tool with the whole B8 S4 chariot thing…
Nah, I doubt it will do low 11’s stock… He is in MD and Cecil is a very fast track as is MIR if that is where he goes? weather looks good for the weekend also… So, I’ll say 11.4-11.6 at 126-128 with a 1.7x short time…
It has already been tested by pretty much every periodical. Basically S8 times but a little quicker.
0–60 MPH 3.4 sec
0–100 MPH 7.8 sec
0–130 MPH 13.1 sec
¼-Mile @ MPH 11.6 sec @ 123
From that you can derive the 60-130 as being 9.7 but I bet it would be quicker in reality if you eliminated a gear change and started in an optimal gear.
I’m gonna say 11.64@122.8mph.
pretty cool that he’s taking it to the strip.
notarmed you’re getting pounced on in that thread.
Yeah, I thought so to which is why I posted it… Just glad will get to see it from a “normal” owner vs tuning company and that is not a knock on APR just think it’s cooler when it’s a owners car…
Pete, good guess but if it’s Cecil even w/o much breakin I bet he does better…
Lol they do have quite the e-crush on you notarmed…
I am thinking 11.55 @123
From what I can tell, the e-crush crew is from AZ. They must have banded together over a couple beers and decided to recreate high school.
I actually sold my coil overs to one of them, good price, didn’t charge shipping. All sales final kinda thing. Super pleasant to deal with, small talk about cars. He emails me back a month later (after the installation) that his mechanic thinks one of the struts is wearing faster and will need to be serviced soon. I refunded him $150 (the cost to service one strut), and he STILL follows me around talking shit. Unbelievable.
Well my guess is based off this…
Car and Driver curb weight for the S8: 4620lbs
Car and Driver curb weight for the RS7: 4453
Audi crank horsepower and torque for S8: 520/481
Audi crank horsepower and torque for RS7: 560/516
S8 baseline 1/4 mile by APR: 11.909@116.76mph with a 1.837 60 ’
S8 tuned 1/4 mile by APR with 647/671 : 11.174@123.01mph with a 1.769 60’
So I’m gonna make my educated guess at 11.52@121.7mph.
Oh wow, I need to PM him to see if he wants to go to MIR on either of the last two test and tune days this month.
Plus my car will be fixed next week.
What goes around, comes around eventually. Though it’s amazing they have quite the crush on you.
did he go? someone else I know with an RS7 may go at some point in the spring.
If he did I haven’t seen it posted any where. I am going this Sunday and we shall see if he goes. So far I have 230 city miles down and once First Take is over in five minutes it is driving time.
The event he was going to go to was cancelled.
