omg that accel!

CHECK OUT APR's S5 super charged...running 11.9s on 93octane pump gas.

Still slow ! I'm not impressive With this supercharge car price is over $70.000

[blackberryhill]

@olegdcru - sorry you're disappointed. The point you're missing is that S5s are available in the UK now for about £25k, and adding the s/charger brings this to approx. £35k. So for half the price of a new RS5, you have a car that still looks and drives like new, and has the potential to take half a second off the RS5's quarter mile time.

What's your best standing 1/4?

@blackberryhill exactly. when the temp gets higher, it will get quicker

@blackberryhill

How on earth does this car have the potential to take 'half a second' off the RS5's quarter mile time? Your best time ever, at Density Altitude -1000 (perfect conditions) was 12.5. That's what a bone stock RS5 runs. Car & Driver had the RS5 @ 12.5.

@sakimano - yawn. Don't you ever get bored with your tired old rhetoric? We do.

@blackberryhill

According to my dictionary, there's no rhetoric or anything rhetorical in my post. I am asking a direct question for a salesman to justify the claim he made about his product. In hindsight, you may be right...my question may be deemed rhetorical in that I never expected an answer to it (since there isn't one).

@blackberryhill

well now that the PES kits have been abandoned and now that Spinner is exposed as WORKING FOR PES...I think you might want to wake yourself up old boy and realise that my rhetoric turned out to be gospel.

[blackberryhill]

@sakimano - now, let me see if I'm at all interested. Hmmmmm - no. Do yourself a favour and don't start spamming my YT account as well as spewing over all the forums. You genuinely should consider getting a life, Old Boy.

@blackberryhill Very disappointing. My 300whp/305wtq k04 MKV GTI pulls off the same exact time but at 112 mph......

[blackberryhill]

@reillyse - well done you!

[Bmr4life]

@olegdcru I agree. That's damn slow for an AWD Supercharged v8.

[praics]

Sweet! It never gets old! Love mine also. What was the 0-60? I figure it should be under 4?

[blackberryhill]

@praics - hiya, how's it going? Yup, first UK iteration and naturally, matt's very happy. He didn't measure 0-60 on this run but I believe clocked a 4.6 the previous day (unofficial 'road-testing'). Probably some more to come off that bearing in mind it was his first time using the car in anger, maybe another couple of thenths or so. I kinda doubt that it's a sub-4 car in standard trim though.....
