**Got No Game** · 05-07-2013 05:22 PM

That's awesome Chris. Love the sound!!

**Brick Oven** · 05-07-2013 06:41 PM

Watch that MPG drop! Heh. The fisheye on the exterior is pretty funny.

**Mops@Nemesis** · 05-07-2013 06:50 PM

Take it to the track, gah! Imo;) Sounds great and looks to pull like hell. The whine seems a bit more tame than others which I like.

Ya, I haven't been getting the best MPG since the tune hehe

Curious to see what it will do in the quarter mile. I definitely want to get it out at Sonoma soon. The whine is very prominent, everything is just muffled because of the GoPro backing

**Wah** · 05-07-2013 10:52 PM

Sounds good. Can't really tell what 417hp/390ft-lbs feels like by looking at the video but it does look like power delivery is very linear and it doesn't stop pulling.
You'd need to fills us in a little more on the difference in power.
Just to be clear, you've got the REVO tune?

They would be more than happy to tell you over in the S4 section. I was playing. The track is for newbs. Keep that shit on the streets.

**esotericlife** · 05-08-2013 08:46 AM

^almost pissed myself laughing at your comment Mops lol

Yes, the Revo/Stasis tune. The power is much more noticeable at higher revs, as you can tell from the dyno graph, the power difference from 5500+ RPM is where the tune really shines. It's hard to describe what power feels like in words, but it is considerably quicker than stock.

LOL Ben dropping the funnies

**Wah** · 05-08-2013 10:41 PM

Torque curve is quite flat which is excellent.
I'm a little curious as to how they managed to increase hp by 80+ but only managed to up the torque by +40 ft-lbs. Seems kind of strange to me....

**ActivS5** · 05-09-2013 09:07 AM

The Roc-Euro intake brings out the whine. The tune made everything a bit louder as well

**TheDapperDriver** · 05-09-2013 10:20 AM

love the vid

**Yinger** · 05-09-2013 10:40 AM

Your video makes me miss F/I cars... beautiful car by the way

I think my color choice decision has been made, depending on how much dealer is going to charge me for Panther Black.

**Pilfer** · 05-09-2013 12:39 PM

Think that's an American thing, apparently flashing your brights at someone to move over doesn't work either.

**YelloJello** · 05-09-2013 02:24 PM

How's your MPG before and after the tune? (Not sure if you are driving the same way though now lol)

**ActivS5** · 05-09-2013 05:31 PM

I have no idea haha. I think a 2ish MPG less at cruising speed. I drove at around 60 mph for a few miles today and it was around 27 MPG. I usually get higher than that.

**ActivS5** · 05-09-2013 05:33 PM

Stay tuned for a video in 15 minutes :)

That RS5 sounds so damn sexy!!! I wouldn't post video showing your speed, but that's just me.

I photoshopped it anyways ;) The RS5 does sound amazing!

**Mops@Nemesis** · 05-09-2013 06:26 PM

The women, children and turtles!!!!!! Have you no regard?! Lulz. Cool vid. Looks like fun:)

**ActivS5** · 05-09-2013 06:34 PM

No f**ks were given, so sorry Mopsters

**Mops@Nemesis** · 05-09-2013 06:50 PM

LULZ!

**ActivS5** · 05-09-2013 06:57 PM

Also, I drove the RS5 on the last clip, the drag race. The blurp between shifts and the exhaust note is phenomenal. After the drag, I noticed the shifting in manual was much more responsive than the S5 in the lower RPM range. Very sweet car.
