Stock 0-60 & 1/4 mile times.

[dal59]

If you have these numbers would you please post them for me? I believe AUDIUSA quotes a 0-60 of 3.8, but frankly I am hoping the real numbers are a little better.

This link should give you a start. Stock RS5 times are listed. The database is for ¼-mile times, but there are Dragy slips in the thread that can help with 0-60 times.

Gosh, that is awesome! That could equate to a 1/4 mile time of approx. 11.6. Congratulations, you got one of the STRONG ones there.

I've also seen many draggy screenshots showing ~3.5 sec times for stock RS5's

The 3.8 sec number that's thrown around by some of the big car review sites, simply doesn't seem accurate. Hell, Audi indicates 3.7 seconds and they have a history of underrating the performance of their "mid-range" (for lack of a better term) "S" and "RS" models. Likely in an effort to sell more of the higher value and higher powered variants (ie RS6 / RS7). For instance, Audi rates the new RS7 at 3.5 seconds. I imagine if they advertised the significantly cheaper RS5 at the same 3.5 sec, it probably wouldn't bode well for the sales of those higher priced models.

The same ideology goes for something like the S4/S5, which is rated at 4.4 seconds. Many owners have proven that in stock form, those cars are much closer to 4.0 seconds.

For added reference, Fastest Lap Times reports the stock RS5 at 3.5 sec 0-62mph:

I recently moved from CO and ran it at 5.5K Alt with the DA at 10K and ran a 3.8. I was expecting a 3.6 when I got it to near sea level so was shocked when I saw it was 3.4. I have not ran it in 1/4 yet so don’t have that to offer but do have a 1/8 time. Re-attaching 0-60 as well since it loaded blurry

okay, okay. Now you are just making me jealous. Just kidding, I am excited for you. I am wondering if there is a way to get an accurate 0-60 time without a "Draggy". I just want to make one run and do not want to spend 150.00 just for a single run. And, there is no track near me.

Well, heck. If my car ran that quick stock, I might just forget about the tune all together. I hate to have to buy a "Draggy" just to do one run to find out though.

Well, heck. If my car ran that quick stock, I might just forget about the tune all together. I hate to have to buy a "Draggy" just to do one run to find out though.

My suggestion: Don't get hung up in the numbers. If the car feels fast enough stock, just enjoy it as is for now and save the performance mods for later, when you start to get bored of it or want to change something up.

I only tuned mine right off the bat because it felt slightly sluggish, compared to the F80 M3 I traded in for it. Had I been coming from a "lesser" performance vehicle, I'm sure I wouldn't have felt the need to tune until 10k+miles down the road.

In fact, from the looks of things, the future modding landscape is shaping up to look much better than it is now. More flash-at-home tuning options, upgraded fuel pumps, intakes, exhausts and more cooling upgrade options. So you may be better off giving it a bit more time, breaking in the car and enjoying it for what it is. Then come up with a good mod progression plan with the upcoming options and go from there. Just my $0.02.

[FourRingsS5]

Agree with Spartan.

When using launch control, this car is a whole different animal. Something deep in the car’s soul is triggered when using launch control. I rarely use launch control though (3 times a year maybe) and it doesn’t feel as strong to me on normal driving. I think a tune for more umph across the band for normal driving is in my future.

Yes, I think I can wait for awhile. I hope you are right about future modding options. It would certainly be nice to have more quality products to choose from. Frankly, I think Audi is going to upgrade this motor in the future. Audi claims that the RS5 is intended to compete with the M3, and as we all know, the M3 Comp. just went over 500 HP, and AWD. Hopefully if Audi ups their game on our motor, it will be an option available to us to add to ours at the dealership. Then we could have the extra power and keep our warranty.

Absolutely! I just did my first "launches" and this thing really grips and rips. About to create a separate post on this subject.

At the end of the day, that 500hp figure is only part of the equation and I really see no reason for Audi to change up the motor. Better cooling, better breathing turbos and/or more aggressive factory tune? Sure. But the motor is plenty capable.

One thing you have to keep in mind is that while the RS5 is ~430lbs heavier than the F80, it's less than 100lbs heavier than the non-AWD G80. So it is entirely possible that the AWD G80 is going to give the weight advantage back to Audi. In which case, the M3 is going to need every bit of that 500hp to remain relevant.

I'd say the M3 is less relevant and more just dominates the C63s and RS5 per carwow comparo (worth watching): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1JN...channel=carwow

I couldn't agree more with this as I think there are loads of companies taking notice of the RS5(I contacted Unitronic and others most are working on something for this year). There is plenty of untapped performance to be had with these cars still and its best to wait and enjoy your car until more companies offer tunes.

Actually I did some searching and found most sites to say the G80 X-drive is heavier:

I think losing the warranty on a brand new car has made me re-think tuning right now. I just met with a shop owner that is an authorized dealer for one of the top tuners for Audi. And, believe it or not, he spent most of our chat talking me out of tuning the car. It seems he was a master mechanic for VW - Audi and was sent to Germany for training. He said he gained a lot of respect for S, and especially the RS models while over there. Again, keep in mind he owns a performance shop and is a tuner. However, he said these RS models are so well designed, it was almost a shame to mess with them.

He then went over some prices with me, and was very clear to say he has tuned hundreds of these Audis and has never had a significant problem of any kind. He said the internals on these engines are incredible and the turbos, on full boost, are only running at approx. 60% of what they are actually capable of. That is why it is so easy to get more power out of them.
However, if there are significant problems, you can expect to pay approx. 10k for new turbos and approx. 25k in the very unlikely event of an engine loss.

Anyway, that chat was enough for me to put mods on hold - for now. :)

I figured that would be the case. Though, 50lbs isn't too bad. It'll be interesting to see how the M3 handles the drivetrain loss from the added weight.

Can't argue with that! While very unlikely, it's a serious risk, no doubt. I think you're on the right track to enjoy it for what it is and figure things out later. Your wallet will thank you, too.

Last night, I actually came to a similar conclusion about upgrading the suspension. I was about to pull the trigger on an aftermarket height adjustable spring setup. Really with the sole intention of lowering the front of the car ~1/4", to better match the perfect ride height of the rear. But in the end, it seems really silly to mess with a very well engineered and perfectly functioning OEM suspension, risking the possibility of a harsher ride and potential suspension clunking, just to get a relatively minor drop in the front. Now I'm thinking my money is better spent elsewhere.

[thadoggfatha]

If your looking to remove some of the wheel gap you can always upsize the tires/ run some spacers. I went with a set of 275/35/20 MPS4S. They look better on the trapezoid wheels and offer a taller tire plus Michelin tends to run larger. Really did make a difference in the look.

Yeah, I moved to 285/30/20 PS4S on 20x9.5" ET25 RSe102's with 10mm/front and 12mm/rear spacers. The slightly taller and more square sidewall on the new tires helped with the gap. But the front still has a slightly larger gap than the rear, which I find myself noticing more and more. Mainly because the rear just sits so perfect.

I just need to get over it. It's not large enough to justify spending the money and messing with the suspension. It's nothing like the monster truck gap my F80 M3 had in the front, which I had to eliminate immediately.



(sorry for the thread jack, OP)

Looking good man, I wouldn't be bothered with the suspension your car sits so nicely and barely has a gap. I am monster trucking in comparison;) Haha

It's really quite amusing to me. If you are a "car nut" (like me - dare I say us all), then it really doesn't matter how well designed your car came from the factory. You are going to want to improve something(s) no matter what. For most of us it is power, but it can be lowering, exhaust, wheels or even increasing the power of the factory sound system. It is a great hobby, but can also be a horrible addiction.

For me, it is all about HP & TQ. Everything else can stay the same. The only change I made to the car was adding all weather mats (lol) and maybe I will treat myself to a little window tint. :) Just give me that darn power!!

BTW 303 Spartan - I think your car looks great - as is!!

Here are my times for today:

I'm on winter tires (pilot alpin pa4)
I do have an AWE Airgate intake, but that shouldn't affect much.

I'm throwing on my summer tires with some Vossen forged wheels so we'll see what changes from there
