Audi S6 4.2 V8

[jbajak]

Here's my Audi S6 C5 4.2 V8:)

Engine (ANK) produces 340PS and 420Nm, and works with automatic transmission (5-speed Tiptronic). The most awesome thing in this car is a four wheel drive, called Quattro Fortunately with Torsen
I've bought this Audi in december 2013.

This month (I hope) I'm going to buy summer tyres, and maybe 19' rims

Oooo nice power wagon

Nice car . What model year?

[jbajak]

Car was manufactured in 2000. But when I bought this car, engine was in bad condition, so I decided to change engine. AQJ was replaced with ANK engine (from year 2002).
ANK is better version of AQJ - same power, same torque. The best advantage of ANK, is that ANK has no problems with rod cracking (what was typical ailment of AQJ engines)

That car is awesome! Audi really did a good job on the S6.

[Jakgoe]

Yeah, I like the S6, past and present. The only wagon I'd want more is the CTS-V wagon.

[SamSheepDoq]

If I'm honest, I would own the Audi because I like the design style. It looks like your everyday family car, but then some guy revs up next to you at a stop light... The rest is a police report.

[Jakgoe]

I actually prefer the style of the Caddy. The front end is amazing. Also, the engine noise is incredible.

[SamSheepDoq]

Well yes, thanks to the LSA under the hood. I do like the Cadillac, don't get me wrong, but the Audi looks like it could be turned into one amazing sleeper.

Yeah, I like the S6, past and present. The only wagon I'd want more is the CTS-V wagon.

I would add the Nissan Stagea to that list, but I used to work for a importer and drove a few s6 wagons, that leather is even softer then it looks and the 4.2 makes a great noise wide open, plus the steering is spot on heavy but smooth with good feedback. I am very jealous

If you want a sleeper, try a ford flex sho Mommy, why is that S2000 behind us? Plus, there are a bunch of videos of them with Bama tunes outrunning Camaro SS's... very humiliating.

Personally, I would take the S6 though. It would far out corner the Flex, and would be a little slower than one of those tuned ones in a straight line. That year of them probably costs the same as a new Flex SHO too.

[SamSheepDoq]

That must be embarrassing!

Before the race:
"What cha got, Soccer Mom?"

After the race:
"I missed a shift..."

Do you have any plans to tune it, jbajak?

[gt1cooper]

I'd be very curious to see a drag between this and a stock SHO and a Bama SHO. They should be fairly close.
For reference, this is a Flex. The SHO (Super High Output) has the 365 HP twin turbo V6 ecoboost, like what is in the F150, the Taurus, and most other, bigger Fords.

it's nice to hear that you like my car Thank you

Do you have any plans to tune it, jbajak?

At the moment, I'm not thinking about any modifications But it's not easy to say what will future show
My previous car is Mazda 323F BA. Currently, Mazda is my second car. I bought Mazda 3,5 years ago, with 2.0 (KF) V6 24V (144PS, 179Nm) engine. After a year I changed engine to 2.5 (KL-ZE) V6 24V. With custom ECU, cold air intake and 6-2-1 2,25' exhaust I've got something around 200PS and 250Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h takes around 5,8 seconds Also, transmission was changed to hybrid (first 4 gears was shorter, but 5th gear was longer for economy reasons). Other modifications: Exedy clutch, short shifter, bigger brakes. All of these operations absorbed a lot of time and money. That's why nowadays I'm not thinking about modifications with the same enthusiasm as 2..3 years ago. It's much cheaper to buy fast car in-stock, than building fast car from scratch But, I'm not saying 'no' Audi S6 C5 with custom exhaust can get additinal 20PS and 10Nm. Maybe in future.......
