It can supposedly acheieve 4.8. Depends on how crazy you want to go.

There are some magazines that have the s5 in sub 5.0. You can't compare a non launch control automatic to a launch that can be achieved by a manual. Ill use my drag slip later tonight and put it in a calculator to see what my 0-60 is.

Wallace Racing -Calculate how fast your car goes 0 - 60 mph

based on this calculator it says im at 4.74. not sure how close that is. you can take the slips from this thread and calculate it if you would like on another calculator.

btw thats bone stock.

Is mtm supercharger the one that's 30k? If so wow you are balling out of control.

 

[bhk1004]

Yes it is the 30k one but i didnt want it to slow like just .2 or .3 faster than stock because i thing that is lame so i went all out!! :thumbsup: It is the same thing with all my cars i got the top of the line R8 the stasis 710 horse im just an insane person who likes to go fast i guess

Thats awesome!! i hope one day I can play like you do... thats my goal in 10 years!! looks like you worked hard for your toys and your fully enjoying them which is great to see.


For the response to why the automatics cant get the 0-60 times is probably because of the fact that you cant launch the car at high RPMs, which is what AWD needs or else it doesnt rip off the line like it needs to. With launch control the automatic can launch at 4k rpms which is going to be great, but if you are just holding the brakes and launching at 2k, its not going to be ideal and probably will get you to bog off the line. you guys should look into the launch control thread and see if you can maybe activate it, i think all 2010 models and forward has these secretly hidden in the ECU so might be worth looking into. Good luck guys, cause with launch control the auto shouldnt be much off the stick, if not faster a good portion of the time because you take out driver error from the equation.

the A5's and S4's found it in their ECU so i was jsut assuming the s5 autos would have it buried as well. I just never went out looking for information on it because of the fact that I dont have an auto. might be interesting to research to find out.

 

[bhk1004]

Does the a5 tdi have s-tronic? They seem to have launch. Would be pretty sad and gay if they are putting a nicer transmission in an a5 over s5..

 

[bhk1004]

^ What you're saying makes sense but the time should be 5.3 instead of 5.6? I hope I can cut 0.6~ seconds off somehow...

Diet!!!!

 

[bhk1004]

Most cars kill power when you do that now. Does the s5 not? I do know I screwed up the transmission of my first car doing that to do burnouts.

 

[bhk1004]

Maybe my spacers are slowing me down... Or Audi lied...
Cant believe I lost to a slk 350... And he had an extra chick in his car!!

No joke id trade in the car if that happened to me

 

[bhk1004]

The SLK was stock, that guy wouldnt even know where to begin modding...

Beaten by a gay hairdressers car you say? How about a little more detail for you, it was RED and driven by a pretty boy with a chick.

well i mean you can lay it on probably a little bit more as well. its also a convertible... an automatic as well... and all he probably did was mindlessly slam on his accelerator. and if im not mistaken they are cheaper than the s5 also.

 

[bhk1004]

ooo you guys dont park the car in first gear and just let the head stone or wall or whatever is infront of you stop the vehicle for you?

 

[bhk1004]

Quit being an average American wimp and buy a manual...

FLAME SUIT IS ON

funny you mention this... actually for many cars, car companies are forced to make a manual for the US market cause they people demand it. as they are beginning to phase out manuals in many other countries with the DCT transmissions and such, they are having the hardest time with this in the US.

 

[bhk1004]

Um what? Good launch you can keep up with an automatic with a stick...?

 

[bhk1004]

Ummm... you see the 0-60 times being posted is over 1/2 a second faster for manuals. There should be no shot starting off the line for an auto to win unless you misshift.
