**** yes. I will be selling my left nut to buy one of these guys.

 

wow....

a 100,000 dollar car

Ill stick with my v6

 

Yea, but they are very nice. Plus 100k is the price of a ZR1......which an RS6 with 700hp would kill a ZR1, track or strip. I'm just saying it'd be the first car I'd buy with 100k.

 

It won't kill a zr1 considering the zr1 will be substantially lighter than the RS6. But don't get me wrong, I would take the RS6 in a heartbeat if I could.

 

Lol. You're kidding me right? The ZR1 for what it is has a horrible power band and also power for how much it costs. Sure the RS6 weighs more, but Horchaus takes out all of the unnecessary parts to make it lighter than it normally is. Plus AWD means it'll kill it from a dig. The Horchaus RS6 Avant is suppose to pull of close to 620 tq from 1000 rpms all the way to its redline at 7k. Couple that with AWD and its a rocket.

The stock RS6 almost pulls off the same 1/4 mile as the ZR1 on the stock tires. So I'm pretty sure a 200hp bump will kill it for sure.

Not trying to be dickish. I realized that first part was kind of pushy, but I still think it'd beat a ZR1. I've seen street races of ZR1s losing to AMG Mercedes with only like 600hp.

 

and the vette hands audis their asses on the corners. They'd probably be neck and neck on the strip with the massive weight of modern audis. The vette is still startlingly light and makes absurd power. The only thing the audi has there is AWD which could make for some sick fast launches.

Additionally (excerpted from Wikipedia): For the powertrain detail of this latest RS6, the internal combustion engine (parts code: 07L, identification code: BUH) is what Audi claims the first all-aluminium alloy 5.0 litre (4,991 cc (304.6 cu in)) 90° V10 twin-turbocharged ("biturbo"), Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), with a dry sump lubrication system. It has four valves per cylinder, with twin chain-driven double overhead camshafts (2xDOHC), and variable valve timing[11] for both inlet and exhaust camshafts. Charged intake air is cooled with two side-mounted intercoolers (SMIC)s. This V10 engine produces a DIN rated maximum motive power output of 426 kilowatts (579 PS; 571 bhp) at 6,250 to 6,700 rpm, and generates 650 newton metres (479 ft·lbf) of torque from 1,500 to 6,250 rpm. Engine management is by way of two Bosch DI-Motronic[12] ME 9.1.2 engine control units, which act as "master" and "slave" concepts; two ECUs are required due to the high revs the engine can achieve. It also uses mapped direct ignition system with ten individual direct-acting spark coils, an electronic drive by wire throttle (Bosch "E-Gas")[13], cylinder-selective knock control, and cylinder bank adaptive lambda control, utilising eight lambda sensors.

So it's making 571/479 with all that crap.

The vette is still a damned GM small block no matter how you slice it and compared to the audi makes a crapload more tq and hp and since it's roots blown it'll make all that power at most any RPM.

(wikipedia) The ZR1 engine is a heavily modified version of the LS3, designated the LS9, producing 638 hp (476 kW) and 604 ft·lbf (819 N·m) of torque, it is the most powerful production Corvette to date. The LS9 has a sixth-generation Eaton TVS R2300 roots 4-lobe supercharger with an intercooler.
Vette weighs 3333lbs, audi weighs 4100.

 

^ Sounds like America wins again...

 

just like the article, i'll believe it when i see it.

 

I dont believe it.

 

My moneys on the ZR1... Americas true sports car.

 

I'd take the hennessey viper over that, just me though lol. 0-220 in 24 sec Twin turbo'd viper v10 1200 hp faster than the bugatti

http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/...ctionReq=Where

 

Is that car even street-legal?

 

yes sir. only 160k-200k too. Or you could always buy a bugatti for 5 times the price and it will be slower and much uglier

 

We're not talking about stock for stock here. Horchaus fully tunes the Audis, and for the V10 RS6 it puts out 700+hp. The R8 V10 puts out almost 500hp and will eat a Z06 (not ZR1, doubt that) in the corners for sure. Since it is a mid-engine AWD. The RS6 will eat a ZR1 in the 1/4 because of the AWD once again. Horchaus' RS6 still weighs like 4000lbs but I still see it pulling on the ZR1, anything more than a 1/4 mile though and the ZR1 will come flying by.

Audi has allowed the Canadian tuner Horchaus to mod and sell Audis in North America, pricing is not official yet but the sales are. He IS selling Audis that were "Euro-only" to the US. All you have to do is buy it in Canada and drive it or have it shipped to the US. Taa daa. No DOT required because it's not being bought on US soil, and it doesn't have to go through customs if you drive it across. Much like guys bringing cars over from the military after their service over seas. You just have to get it federalized when you go to get tags for it.

It's still awesome to see cars like the TT Quatro (TT RS) and the S3 being able to be brought in without worrying about getting it overseas. Now if Ford would let the RS Focus get sold over here......hmmmm....

 

I forgot about the AWD, but if that wasn't a factor, then definitely not a kill. Like r3d said though, take it to a track and the zr1 takes it for sure. Considering a lot of other cars in the 100K+ price range, the ZR1 is damn good. How many other cars at that price produce the power, handling, and carbon ceramic brakes? I like the audi's, but I would still take a ZR1 over any of them. With headers, x-pipe, and simple tune, ZR1s are making 598rwhp. Think if you upped the boost a bit. Car will be an absolute beast.

Can't deny the sheer sexiness of this car.

 

^^ those are damn sexy

 

**** all that overpriced weak 700hp ***** ****.

1000hp mustang for 85k

you can find a gallardo for less then $100k now a days.

yes a gallardo is no where near 700hp, but it drops soo many panties that you dont care for horsepower.

 

Yes, and then the *** ******* for maintenance is going to be amazing.

For under 100k I'd find myself a nice z06 and strap a hair dryer to it..

Something that, for the most part, I can drive daily around here, and if somethings fucked up, drive up into my mechanics shop and they can fix it. Oh and it'd haul ***? Even better.

And if you're ugly enough that you need a car to help you drop panties..then thats on you..

 

I can't stop laughing, it's just so true. haha

Better yet, you can just mod a car out to be faster than these cars.

 

Which is why I stated z06 + hair dryer (hair dryers are turbos, btw.)

 

LMAO... He's got a few nice cars.
