Meeting up with the new RS6 soon.

should i be worried? my car is getting the 650hp power upgrade from speedart it will be ready after ten days, and he will be getting the MTM 735hp kit very soon. so which one of us will have a chance? it will be from a roll. i'll keep you updated.

You should win. Those audi's are boats. Quick boats, but still boats nonetheless.

Ha, yeah they are. Looks like the new RS6 Avant is tipping the scales at 4463 lbs (2025 kg). But a twin turbo V10 can certainly get that to accelerate. I'd like to see video of the outcome!

Should be a good, if not interesting, race. I'd hate to get beat by a 4 or 5 door familymobile...

the car i will be racing is the RS6 sedan, and i've seen a couple of video clips in you tube of these RS6 and how they accelerate and i don't think it will be an easy task.

Indeed, I think I'd be concerned. Figure out a speed that puts your car at a good RPM to start at, and suggest (insist) you start there. Anything to give yourself a bit of an edge.

he just picked up his car yesterday and i asked about the boost and he is that it starts boosting from as soon as 2000 RPM or less i think but he didn't push it yet cause the car is still in break in stage. while in my case i have K24/K26 turbo's and the boost starts at around 2800-3000 RPM, makes me a bit worried.

he didn't agree to try out while his car is still stock, since my car is modded it won't be fair, he will get the power upgrade from MTM (735HP) then its show time.

He likely builds boost sooner, but is also heavier. Make sure you bring your "A" game. It's not gonna be easy pickens. Those cars stock have the same whp as our cars stock. So mod for mod, they are close except for the weight, which is a detriment, But he does have 735hp!!!

jmenge is infamous around these parts
I think it will be very close but as long as you know that going in I think you'll be ok.
