Default slow 0-60?

i recently purchased a new 2017 A6 3.0t Quattro premium plus. I followed the owners Manuel for proper break in and once I hit 1,000 miles, I thought i would see what it could really do. Seemed a little slower than I expended so I though I would clock the 0-60 time. Every time I keep getting 5.5 seconds. Several sources claimed they were able to hit 4.6. Now I understand I'm using a timer so there is probably a few tenths of second difference in my response and accuracy, but still. Any thoughts or suggestion ?

5.5 seconds for stock is correct.

5.2 all day long if it were a TDI. Just saying.

Leave a little bit sooner to wherever you're going.

Very true, but I didn't want to rub salt in the wound. 😀

I'll race you with my 2.0 and I'll wager we'll be neck and neck!

Of course, your car will sound sooooo much nicer. Drove my wife's A4 with the 3.2 in it last night, and oh, I love that exhaust note!

Are you using launch control?

Yes but Audi, motor trend, and a few other companies that reviewed the car claim to get it to 60 in 4.6/4.7 seconds

Are you left foot braking and letting the revs build before you launch, or just punching the gas? What elevation and temperature? There's lots of variables at play and my understanding is that the mags normalize their results to reflect sea level numbers.

Tempature is about 70 degrees and I live near the beach. My car doesn't have launch control so I'm not not using break and gas at the same time
