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.

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.

Wow ibis, look what you started...haha naw jk. You guys have some very impressive figures...maybe once I graduate I'll supercharge my car as well

In the mean time I'm really quite sad my car's best is 5.8 seconds. :music-smiley-019:

LOL, just so happened I was about to post the info when I came across this thread

Couple of questions, how are you launching?

Is ESP fully switched off?
I asumme in dynamic mode?
Are you holding it on the brake and nailing the power? (I know the auto only allows for 2.5k rpm when doing this but the more rpm the better)
Are you bogging down on launch?

I've been helping someone else via PM who has an auto and suffered in the same way at the strip. in the 14's He wasn't however switching ESP off fully or nailing it on the brake then releasing and said that having tried it, it's definately an improvement.

Without the launch control the auto's really do seem to suffer from a standstill. I wonder if any of the tunes on offer remove the 2.5k rpm limiter? This would sort the problem out!

I think ESP is fully switched off...just press the 'ESP Off' button for a few seconds, correct?

I don't have ADS =( But I'm launching in S mode

I'm brake torquing to 2k rpm and pressing all the way down, yes...I should try 2.5k rpm like you're suggesting.

 

[Spinner]

If I was you I'd hold it on the foot brake, nail the throttle then side step the brake. If what I'm led to believe is correct there is no LC on the auto's and the limit at standstill in gear is 2.5k rpm so this is the best you'll get without an ecu tune that removes that limit (if one exists).

As bhk suggests 2k rpm is definately bog down territory, the more RPM the better. Best launches I got on the stock manual was @ 4.5k and side stepping the clutch.

BTW what are you using to time your runs?

 

[ibisS5]

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?

ONly the S-tronic cars, so S5 cabrio/sportback with S-tronic from MY2011 onwards.

With LC, my S5 cabrio (333 PS/440 Nm) does 0-100 km/h in 5,5-5,6 seconds. Will be interesting to see what happens after the Abt tune (435 PS/520 Nm)! :moped:

 

[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..

 

[S5xy]

^ 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!!!!

 

[bfmtww]

Rev from N and then dropping it to D

 

[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.

Guy's kidding :laughinatabove:

 

[bfmtww]

Actually might work if the power doesn't get cut lmao. Maybe when Audi was testing the acceleration, they broke one car for every 0-100.

 

[IbiS5]

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

LOL are u serious?

Well, it is true that SLK 350 does 0-100 kph in 5.4 seconds. If you're achieving 5.8 like you mentioned, you would lose. Kind of sad.

 

[S5xy]

....fml

 

[IbiS5]

are u sure his car was stock? If it was then this is fucking retarded. It makes want to take a sledge hammer to my car. Beaten by a gay hairdressers car.

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.
