Guy in the Audi weaved around traffic and flew by me but there was too much traffic so I didn't think much of it. However traffic ended up clearing after I had passed him again and I saw him come out from behind the last car and he floored it so I dropped to 3rd at 70 and went all in. He came up next to me in 3rd and as soon as I got into 4th I started pulling hard. Let off around 155 and I had a few bus lengths on him, thought Audi RS6's were faster then that but oh well. Had V10 badges on the side so I'm gonna go look specs up now.

The Cobra is making about 400rwhp, Audi about 520whp. Are they tanks? He should have won, but then again anything can happen on the street. Do you have a cat back?

 

should have at least let him get beside you before you went wot. to me you assumed that he went wot. but any way, good race and win. those audi's are very sexy.

 

they are 580hp

 

they dyno @ 580whp or is that crank hp??? big difference.

 

571 crank hp with an awd drivetrain, auto trans, and they weigh almost 4500lbs! They are certainly tanks and would be fast as hell with about 1000lbs shaved off.

 

i did not see the whp behind you number that was my fault

 

No way do they dyno 520 unless they are hugely underrated. Auto + AWD = big power loss.

 

So did anyone check to see if the RS6 (2008+) was ever exported to NA? To my knowledge, the TT V10, nor the RS6 itself never made it over here. The last model was a C5....

 

I didnt notice the "auto" part, gotcha! Wow, I see how the Cobra would have won. 4500lbs??? Wow, TANK.

 

After doing some research I think it's actually just the S6, but that's still 520hp and about 200lbs less. I'm still happy about the kill and how good my Cobra's finally running.

Yea I couldn't believe the car weighed that much when I saw the specs. I would never want to drive a car that was that heavy, that's almost truck/suv territory.

 

Im not hating and i dont mean to burst your bubble but if it was a current S6, its only a 435hp V10 and weighs about 4500 pounds. That wouldnt be any match for even a stock Cobra.

 

It's ok, I know you're not hating. Actually weighs just over 4200lbs though. Still a pig with a good powerplant though. I would love to run a modified one though.

 

that makes the challenger and new pony cars seem lightweight now. lol. that audi is heavy as fawk

 

Yea, makes our Balts look like a Lotus.
