2008 S5 i know this really doesnt count...

S5 before MTM supercharger, 0-60 mph in 4.95 seconds

S5 after MTM supercharger, 0-60 mph in 4.125 seconds

Manual

MTM supercharger, AWE exhaust catback downpipes swaybar cold air intake, short shifter that really helps highly recomended.

Horse: 550
Torque: 425

this was all done at avalon motorsports on the dyno for the power.
My times were clocked by the guys at bandamere raceway in morrison colorado

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.

Thats all i did i knew what i wanted and went for it the automatic with launch control is the only thing which i believe the S5 doesnt have correct me if im not?

Interesting, not wanting to hijack this thread but also keen to see more info on the MTM figures. There is an MTM I've heard about in the UK which is supposed to be putting out a flat 500hp @ crank so interesting to hear how there's a possible 50hp difference.

Re 0-60 / 0-100 times I was doing some launch testing on my racelogic box last night (private road) as I'm revisiting the strip again this weekend. Recorded 0-60 in 4.07secs and 0-100 in 9.67 secs (see attached perfomance graph).

This was done pushing the clutch that little bit harder than I'd previously risked and it's clear there's still plenty more it can take so I'll be pushing harder in the near future.

At stock with just the MTM SC on it it was cranking out 511 HP but with all of the awe exhaust catback downpipes cold air intake and performance air filters i have the car running at 547 HP but your right there never was a 50 HP difference

IbisS5:

since we have very little real world feedback regarding the MTM SC would you be so kind as to share your impressions of it? good, bad, etc? or have you already done this and i haven't seen?

also: those figures crank HP? do you know the WHP that was measured?
any 1/4 mile times...
i grew up in western Colorado... bandamere brought back some memories.

Just wondering was the Go KArting track there when you lived out here? Anyway i have enjoyed my SC greatly as you know it adds almost 150+ HP. It measured out at 536 BHP but the guy told me i would be runnng at 547-550 which i really didnt understand. Its great though nothing has happened to the car with the extra power (transmission, driveshaft etc.). But i have been thinking about seeing if i can fit all of the RS5 parts to my car to make it look exactly like an RS5 except with a ton more power. Where did you grow up?

I have my MTM SC on my car which the fastest I've recorded was 0-60 in 4.0 seconds but I've had a pro driver take a stab and he did it in 3.89 seconds so with a manual it's about your shifting and automatic if you can launch right. I have a manual

idk where your getting these high 0-60 times.. S5's are high 4 range...if you really want to race someone and embarrass them you need to race someone from a stop... i recently had a run in with a new SL63... we both launched and i was 2 cars ahead of him by the time i got to 35mph... granted the guy didnt have it in sport mode and the traction control kicked in and slowed his launch, but none the less he was embarrassed and admitted it at the next light.

. If you can launch right in the manual you can keep up with the automatic but with a SC you beat pretty much ever guy you race.

 

[ibisS5]

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

before my car was all modded up i kept up with a automatic but now i have 550 BHP so i beat an automatic everytime. But without SC i beat a manual!

 

[ibisS5]

The SC adds a ton and it is faster then my corvette C6 and my R8. But the manual is quick if you can launch it.

I mean unless you get a guy who doesn't know how to shift at all...<br> <br>
And wow, your SC'd car is fast!!
