I once heard about mazda having to recall vehicles over the RX8 because the power and perfomance capabilities
For my 2004 S-Line, I say 0-60 in 6.0s is generous. Not because of a lack of power, but because when you "floor" the Tip tranny from a standstill it takes about 1.5 seconds thinking "Ooooh ya. Du hast stomped ya? Ya, ok. Gimme a second. No, no ya! I'm ready! Just wait, one cog here, und one cog zere, ya....wait....ok ya! Letz go!" It takes a minute to think about itself before it launches. But, once on the move, usable power is wicked. So does the reported 0-60 time of 6.0 flat for the ‘04 S-Line exclude the off the line laziness (seriously, 1.5 seconds) of the TIP? If it does, I can easily confirm that 6 seconds to 60 is easy in the 2004 A6 S-Line. If it does not, I doubt the number. Really, as I have said, 0-60 nicht so gut. Passing speed rivals the 335i....until you have hit the rpm redline for the 2nd time. Then the A6 S-Line loses. But then again, not a drag car.

I know of a gal with an S6 that got frustrated with a guy that kept mouthing off about how much better his modified Mustang was. He insisted that he could beat the Audi in any race that began with a standing start.

She finally challenged him to a 1/4 mile drag race for pink slips.
Her only provision was that the first 1/8 mile would be wet.

The guy refused

Mine's pretty quick for a car with 150k miles on it. It's a 2.7T 6 speed manual with APR chip. When catalytic converters needed to replace, local performance shop put in single cat and seemed to give a little more to it - can hear the turbos spool more. I don't race (track nor streets), but strong off the line and quick when I needed it.

0-60 in 6s for the 2004 S-Line is what I was mentioning. It only came with tip and has 265hp vs stock 250hp and 280lb-ft of torque vs stock 265. A non S-Line 2.7T A6 with tip does 0-60 in about 6.7 I heard.

yeah i heard the same about 250hp 2.7t i think audi claims 6.7 for the 250hp but i aslo heard that ppl were getting 6.5 w/tip stock but idk, as for the sline i dont think 15 extra hp will get you to 6.0 also i think the sline may have received some addded weight over the non sline but im not sure anyways sline is the **** and ill take it over my 2001 2.7 anyday cause i just love the botox facelift the 2002 and up got

I'd say my A6 (stock) has some great pickup as soon as it hits about 4k rpm (powerband) and then my head pulls back. It moves great. I have always loved how audis drive and handle. The perfect car and thats why i bought one
