Default tuned 5.5 V8 AMG engine vs 2.7 forced induction expirence...

it was a great race last night.....serious ego booster.....beautiful silver and sleek 5.5 tuned motor with a mean growl against my smooth sounding forced induction v6 motor..ran from a stop.....ran from mid range....ran on top end....all instances the audi reigned supreme over the nice benzo..did i mention the benzo had AWD as well?

ya ya it was an ML 55.....but was still fun and ego stroking =)

Default I've just realized that I have become the communal baseline car now

Its a sad day when a K04 S4 becomes the test mule.

Default We run a K04 car with APR+Miltek, Abt K04+RS4dp+MTM exhaust, K04 APR +Miltek dp & exhaust and

Kent jacked it up for everyone now since he was the baseline with K03 Abt + Forge exhaust.
Email either Kent or me for the results since I'm sure there will be a flame war if posted here.
One thing I will say is don't ever believe the hype.

Default Sorry. Now you are the baseline car...

I know what my car was doing before my latest bout with some bad mojo. Provided it is the same, I'll be content as it can only go up from here.

But yes, KJ, email Chaka or myself. We'll give you the lowdown of our results.
