Default Another tuner...

Tsivas posted this on AR so I figured I would share it over here... Would prefer real time slips... Their site also lists a DSG tune...

MRC is a very reputable company from what I've gathered. I was looking into them in hopes that they would be willing to give me a TCU tune but unfortunately I never got a response. Their RS6 is absolutely insane:

Ken, no doubt... I think will get a dsg tune over here sooner or later... Rs6 is crazy... I would buy one today if we could get it here... The s4 is fast no doubt... Wish they would have used a real drag strip... Good stuff... Better than what asp gives us... Lol

I might be wrong...but something tells me that video is a fake. That first shift arrives a bit quick IMO. I would need more evidence on this tune.

Which one?

If you're referring the the RS6, pretty sure that's real. The car is an absolute monster. Their TCU remap lets it bounce off the rev limiter.

I'm sure their sub 12 second 1/4 miles passes are fake too.

LOL! Do you ever make any posts w/o being a smart ***? Just curious... The car is fast no doubt... However, that is not a IHRA/NHRA certified dragstrip so while the car may run a sub 12 second pass, these passes can't be compared to others who run at true dragstrips... Also, while I don't think the video is fake the launch and shifts seem a little odd, however this could be explained if as their site claims they can do a DSG tune and the car has one... As for the 0-60 time there is NO way that is accurate... I got a few 3.3 - 3.4 when I used Richi's pbox but that was on the display, the actual data was 3.8x...

Oh and as for your comments on that other site, about logs and the safety of the car keep making jokes... If you really think there is no real value in reviewing logs and seeing how things are accomplished and assesing the safety of them then I don't know what to tell you...

They occasionally happen from time to time, but I try to keep them to a minimum.
