LarryV, you need to chip that other Audi of yours :o)
HOLY $#@%!
I mean I'm sure the reported 560hp/516tq is fine and all ;) , but... www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_40tfsi_rs6rs7.html 93oct: http://www.goapr.com/includes/img/pr...s_s1_93_cc.png 100oct: http://www.goapr.com/includes/img/pr..._s1_100_cc.png I like the gauge overlay: |
god damn. I need to wear a diaper if I drove a tuned RS7
|
It's a good thing they didn't waste their time releasing the software.... because I was just thinking the other day how slow the RS7 is in stock tune and how much it really needed MOAR power and torque. ;) JK
The numbers are insane, but honestly, I haven't even gone through break-in yet (short 5 mile daily commute to work doesn't help) let alone truly exploited the car's potential at full throttle on a regular basis, and I already feel overwhelmed by how quick it is for such a big car, in stock tune. I often inadvertently find myself in triple digits before I reach the end of of most highway on-ramps. This car is asking for trouble. A ECU tune would just about guarantee it! So maybe I'll hold off at least until I put a few more miles on her. We're driving it to NY and MA for the holidays, so that should at least finish break-in on the way there. By then I'll be able to experience and decide for myself if it needs more power or not. yea yea... who doesn't need more power?! :) |

I was driving test RS7 and believe me it was a rocket on wheeled
LarryV, did you try launch control on the RS7 :):) |

LarryV, did you try launch control on the RS7 :):) However, you can brake-torque it to around 2k rpm (ECU-limited) and release the brake for a home-made launch control to get best results... which is the technique most of the magazines are doing to get the numbers they're getting. |

There is no launch control on the RS7 because it's a torque-converter automatic.

Thus I'd think that this would apply to RS7 as well, but don't know for sure. But at this point I guess we're splitting hairs - it's the way to launch quicker :) |

I'm not sure what officially qualifies as "launch control" but I did think on the Q5 that doing what you described (also using "S" mode and ESP off) would put the ECU in a different configuration (quicker response/shifting/etc). It seems that the "around 2k rpm (ECU-limited) " would be the piece of all this that would correspond to "launch control", no?

Wow, launch control exists even on the Q5? Does anyone want to try it? ;)
