videos of TIP vs 6spd

[Blue_S4]

Prefer stage 3s, but equal cars such as stage 2s or even stage 1s. how do they turn out head to head? obviously 6spd is faster, but by how much when both cars can push 380 whp?

[WMi_S4]

If you still had ur KO4's, we coulda made that video!

[Blue_S4]

i know...thatd be great...i think they will be in by may...but then wont you be off in the USAF then?

do you have yours done yet?

PS. piano trim is looking good!

obviously 6spd is faster,

Camera car is TIP

[fitch303]

I'm pretty sure no human being can shift faster than a computer. With that said, my 02 jetta automatic 5 speed shifted like a fucking grandma. I just contradicted myself.........

Exactly, a built trans would be even faster

[GunSupplier]

Is that the camera car making that squeak during the gear change? WTF is that?

[Blue_S4]

but are they both modded the same? because its not just shift speed. its also gearing...and 6spd is geared better for accel i thought

These are the ratios (from AudiWorld)

Manual | Automatic
3.500:1 | (3.665:1) <--1st
1.889:1 | (1.999:1) <--2nd
1.231:1 | (1.407:1) <--3rd
0.967:1 | (1.000:1) <--4th
0.806:1 | (0.742:1) <--5th
0.684:1 | (----) <--6th
3.455:1 | (4.096:1) <--Reverse
4.111:1 | (3.511:1) <--Final Drive

The 6-speed has the higher Final Drive ratio, but the Tip has slightly more aggressive individual gearing.

Throttle valve I believe

so take away the launch...and they should be pretty even...nice

I have actually decided to go back to GVSU and graduate.....nope, car isn't done, still haven't decided on Tials or RS6's, so much damn drama w/ the Tial's right now, its making me just not want to go that route. I prolly will start buying other parts I already know I am going to need, like ER's, motor/tranny mounts, new SS, custom/ASP 3" DPs, ect.

Thanks, I've been up all morning working on it and got most of the orange peel off, I will post pics of the final trim in a couple days once its done

[S4 in_lowplaces]

what drama with Tials?

[oneohone]

Man that squeak sounds bad...

[johnkent1212]

I may be out there sometime soon. I'd love to surprise you.

make it lancaster, i wanna watch.

[mtk90]

automatics have a higher drivetrain power loss then manuals. the 6spd would win.

PM me if you'd like to set something up.
