I picked up a 2016 A6 a few weeks ago as an R&D project to refine my tuning with the S550 A6 platform.
In 100% stock form with 1/2 tank fuel the car weighed in below:
After the Wheels/tires arrived we mounted them up for a track outing this past weekend.
I did not weigh the car with the slicks/skinnies as I did not have time. These wheels/tires were run to be as consistent as possible taking out all possibility of tire spin corrupting the results/data.
For reference this is a 2016 300A A6 with 3.15 gearing.
Rear Tires are 28x10 Hoosier slicks on a 17x10.5" wheel. Not an ideal tires size for a stock A6 with 3.15's, but they proved to be very consistent which is what I was after for accurate back to back data.
Below are the initial results of stock ET/MPH vs tuned on the same day at the same track in the same conditions in the same lane to be as consistent as possible:
The previous evening I ran the car in stock form as well and was able to get a better 60ft and ET, below is that time slip: (I believe the DA was significantly better that evening than the next day when I did back to back passes stock vs tuned.)
I was not expecting the car to be so slow in stock form, but I believe the larger than stock Bias Ply slicks played a role here. Every other NA stock converter 3.15 geared A6 we've tested has run 2 tenths slower with 28" slicks vs 27" radials.
Date and times + location are on the time slips if anyone wants to lookup the DA.
Stay tuned for more, I'm just starting with this car. :rolling:
