How much torque does that badboy have?


The Audi Rs6 can SMOKE quite a few vehicles...even with like 10 people in it....

Then again, it has 400ft/lb of torque

It has 235 ft/lb @ 3600 RPM and 210HP.

Carpoint says 210 HP on the Forester XT... doesnt the Z has around 300?

Any vehicle can smoke any other vehicle. The RS6 will be slowed down a tremendous amount with an extra ~1500 pounds in it.

Horsepower 210 @ 5600 rpm
Torque (lb.-ft.) 235 @ 3600 rpm

(although, I suspect that they have SEVERLY underrated the engine so it can't touch the STi)

The amount of horsepower doesn't really mean anything. It's one of MANY factors that come into play on a fast car.

How much do they weigh?

Subaru: 3200lbs
Audi RS6: 4024lbs

Also, something I found a little disturbing to look at while looking at Audi's RS6 website:

"Here's something very important you must know about your vehicle. The high-performance RS 6 requires special synthetic engine oil, which must conform to Volkswagen Oil Standard 505 01 (5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil). Failure to use engine oil for your engine that expressly conforms to Volkswagen Oil Standard 505 01 (5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil) can cause engine failure on the highway that can cause a crash and serious personal injury. Please note the following:

- Never use any amount of engine oil in the engine that does not conform to Volkswagen Oil Standard 505 01 (5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil).

- Always carry with you an extra quart of engine oil that conforms to Volkswagen Oil Standard 505 01 (5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil) in case you must top off the oil while on the road. Never use any other kind of engine oil in your vehicle, not even to top off the oil level. We have provided you with a quart of the approved oil in the luggage compartment.

IN a way, they're kinda forcing an RS6 owner to use Audi dealerships for work, which sucks. Change your oil yourself or have someone else do it and you could be looking at a voided warranty if you use any other brand but theirs. I forsee price gouging and Audi's crappy service as a problem.

If anyhting ever goes wrong (whihc is pretty much GUARANTEED in any V.A.G. vehicle), all they'd have to do is blame it to impropor maintenence and you're stuck with the bill and out your warranty. Audi/VW already are guilty of using this as a common scapegoat to not pay for warranty claims.

He doesn't want to spend an extra $10 for oil for his $83,000 car.

 

[Jombo]

same could be said of the m3.. i guess with really high perf engines, you need to use special engine oils as most prolly can't stand up to the temp or blah blah..

well that's much cheaper than an oil change for the ferrari enzo. it costs $60 a quart, and the engine eats up 12 quarts.. according to car and driver tv..

 

[cressida]

btw, how is the reliability on Subarus ? My friend had one but he said his kept breaking down, and people on these boards say they last.
