I don't. Its a little more powerful than the C6, and a little heavier. Its not going to be all that much quicker, at least not in a straight line.

Did I see that right 120 in 3rd?!?! WTF kind of ratios are in the 7 speed tranny's? Seems like it has gt500 type gears but with out the power to pull it through on top. Maybe that's why the quarter miles runs aren't as quick as I thought they would be....

The car is capable of lower 12s stock....I don't see any reason for complaining. Some bolt ons, a tune and tires and she will be running low to mid 11s.

Sounds good to me.

My A6 C7 dynoed at 418/411 today with 200 miles on it.

My SS weighing 4k lbs went 12.4 at 113 with 368/380.

I would think an 11.99 pass is very doable seeing the C7 is 600lbd lighter with a bunch more rwhp.

Looks to be geared high for 7spd. To compare, stock 13 GT500 ran 174.7 in the standing mile.

I think the GT500 will do 140 in 3rd with the 6 speed, so sounds comparable gearing-wise..

Yeah I'm not sure why 1-4 can't be geared aggressively considering they have 3 more to play with. I'm not sure if 4th or 5th is one to one ratio but I feel the current ratios are gapped way to far apart.
