View Full Version : Anyone have 1/4 mile times for 2016 S6
Anyone with a 2016 s6 run down the 1/4 mile yet? I can't find anything online about the 450 hp 16's. Wondering if there is an improvement over the previous 420 hp.

Too many variables to make a valid comparison ...driver, weather, track, etc.
Perhaps a side by side would help, but still different drivers. My money is on zero difference anyway. FWIW my '15 calculates to 480 HP based on weight and 1/4 ET and MPH.

I'm betting on zero performance difference, but not because the engine is the same. I'm thinking it actually does make a few HP more, just enough to offset the weight increase.

how much increase was there in weight?

Curb weight for 2015 was 4398 and 2016 is 4486. The problem is made worse by the fact that Curb is typically measured for a base model car and the 2016 introduced a lower trim Premium Plus compared to the original Prestige, meaning that the weight difference for an equally-equipped car is likely even higher.
Weight would vary based on options as well. I will weigh my S6 at the drags if they have the scales open.

Oh yeah, I'm figuring mine has got another 200lbs on Curb, if not more.
Btw. 4550lbs. With me in it. I weigh 175lb.
