Ouch
 

Just got my *** handed to by Audi S6 in Buckhead...

so the S6 rammed into your arse?

as well you should, 435hp and 398 ft./lbs will do that.

Are you street racing (?)

LOL...

Dial 866-250-5542

They can make it all better....

LOL how bad?

and thats what granny shifting and not double clutching will do.

Not when the new S6 has a curb weight of 4486 lb... holy fat pig. lol

370Z - 203 bhp/ton
S6 - 194 bhp/ton

370Z should be faster up until drag starts to play a bigger limiting factor.

Must have been a high speed encounter or lack of driver skill ;) A stock S6 is only a high 13's car.

i wouldnt worry about it. i don't know what buckhead is, but i'll give you the benefit of hte doubt and assume that its a track although the s6 (429hp/4210lb power to weight ratio of .1019) has almost the exact same power to weight ratio has your nismo Z (350hp/3300lbs power to weight ratio of .106) their car has 398lb-ft of torque, while yours has 276, and that torque is on the low end, meaning they're gonna have more giddy up off the line. Plus he's got an automatic, so he just needs to step on the gas to unleash the power. Be happy, you spent half as much on your car, its its probably more fun than his. And keep in mind with 40k in mods (the price difference between the s6 and the Z) you would blow him out of the water.

the car probably wasnt stock either, those engines respond very well to mods.

:yawn:

The V10?

I think you're mistaking the S6 for the old S4 with the 2.7TT V6... can't really squeeze that much more out of a relatively high-strung V10 without making it ungodly loud.

don't worry...there are always bigger fish.

it always seems to go back to the car cost more than ours when we get beat but when we beat a honda we dont mention that ours cost more. who cares about price that has nothing to do with it as the difference in price isnt all in the engine alone. it has more TQ so it gets going faster and it beat the Z. TQ is where the Z lacks and thats why I want the SC, to help with that area.

no sir, over on audiworld I believe someone bolted on an additional 40whp with NA mods. I go there from time to time. It isnt too far fetched, look how much power our cars make with bolt ons/tune. I'd say our engine is almost maxed out from the factory, so to extract the power we do, its pretty damn impressive.

I just read article @ Audi S6 Review – Edmunds.com .

Unless it was modified, Ouch is right. Sorry.

if your going FI and focusing on TQ, a turbo will do allot better than a supercharger...why not go that route?

too much money and Im hoping the SC will be less maint than the turbos.

We also make the same with N/A mods... but our 40 WHP means more than on a car that weights half a ton more. ;)

I understand what you're saying, it just would take a LOT more power to go against a 370Z mod-for-mod.

what he said.

true, true,.... maint is a biaatch... thats also why am considering a SC

Torque doesn't matter unless you're racing in top gear starting at 3500 rpm :rofl2:

Our engine has an awesome powerband where it actually matters (5500 to 7500 rpm), and I'm sure theirs does as well.

I'm not sure why people would be so caught up about low-end torque on a Z car. They've always been high-strung and gutless down low, with the exception of the 300ZX TT and maybe the 350Z.

If we're talking about a Vortech blower, you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise long-term.

They're not all they're cracked up to be, but it'll be plenty reliable below 10 PSI. It's at 20+ PSI that they start to get iffy. I would know, unfortunately :(

which is why it needs tq there and why low end tq cars will get the jump on us.

Im just looking at GTM right now with no more than 8 psi and hope that will get me over the hump I want.

Wanna borrow my TT? :)

Man Id love to drive a TT Z.

Again, only if you roll race from 3500 rpm. ;) As far as acceleration is concerned, torque doesn't mean anything - all that matters is effective horsepower. If you're already within your powerband, you're set.

BTW, a centrifugal supercharger doesn't add much if any low-end torque. It'll probably start giving you extra power starting at 4000 rpm or so, with gains climbing from that point. I think that's accurate based upon the Stillen and GTM supercharger dyno sheets I've seen. Centrifugal superchargers are all about making more top end torque/horsepower. Imagine your torque curve being absolutely flat from 3500 or 4000 to redline - that's what this type of supercharger will get you.

Reup bonus may pay for mine :)

Pfht, TT kits are so 2000, this is 2010...SC on imports is the new things. :tup:

the370Z.com Forum Rules:

I would need to do a 6 month deployment with this job to get some big money and I cant do that for the first year Im in this job. But after a year a 6 month deployment will net me another 30K besides my regular pay

it was on a private driveway

Huh?

oh damn, well in that case, build the block and boost it to 20 psi :tup:

or GTR with upgrades

You probably lost because you were in too high a gear.
Reference to sarcasm

Does that make it different? Pretty sure the rules are clear.
