Default 0-60 time

Audi states the 0-60 time on the 3.0 TFSI, is 5.3 seconds. Has anyone been able to achieve this. The best I can get is around 5.8 with dynamic and ESC off and using the parking brake on to start, creating a quicker launch. Any suggestions to get their stated time which is typically higher than actual.

just some numbers:


2012 a6 3.0

car & driver 5.1 secs
motortrend 4.8 secs

it depends on elevation, octane, road surface, whether you brake torque..

So what Audi states is not just WOT, but tweaking the start, brake holding until higher revs, maybe minimal fuel and higher than 91 octane and traction off?

...tire pressure, vehicle weight, ambient temp, also play a role in 0-60 times. Did you turn off the A/C? Do you have the MMI off as well?

I recall Top Gear stating they did two laps of the track in the new VW golf. One lap with the Sport button engaged, and one lap without. The lap without was faster.

I got 5.8 by just nailing the throttle. I'm sure I could get sub 5 if I tried. Supercharged vehicles are very finicky. If everything isn't perfect, they're much slower than they're capable of. If everything is just right though, they'll reward you.

And of course with the Piggyback I got mid 4's by mashing the gas.

You still enjoying that tune Mike? Any plans to hit a drag strip when the weather is acceptable?

I was eyeing the Chipwerke box too since it is removable. I'm guessing it modifies the bypass. I think it was Mike's review previously I read. Wouldn't mind bumping the speed limiter too but the Simos box doesn't seem to play nice with Unisettings. Kinda silly when a 25-$30K Hyundai will go 150mph. Then again the Stasis warranty is probably worth the coin from everyone I've seen who has it. FYI VCDS has a 0-60 and 1/4 mile routine if you happen to have it. Just need some empty road... That seems tougher to find.

"I am sure my car did closer to 5 seconds when it was stock, I live at sea level though"

I understood the Supercharger helps the engine maintain Sea-level HP at high elevation--6,000-8,000 feet. Am I missing something?
