    Hocking Hills Exotic Car Cruise: My Stage 3 S6 Represented Us Well!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My fellow S6 and S7 enthusiasts. Today I was invited to join the exotic car group in Columbus, OH for their annual road trip through Hocking Hills, OH. Really nice winding roads through the hills that would challenge the best of track day cars. This would be my first real pushing of the car since all of my stage 3 upgrades.

    Let me just say it was awesome, the car performed outstanding. We raced the cars through the hills from 9:30 till 2:30 with just a few stops. Over 50 cars total, ranging from my S6 to BMWs, Porsches, Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, R8s, Lotus, Nobles and NSXs. While
    I couldn't cut some of the corners as fast as some of them I had more than enough power to pull out of the corners to push and pass many of them. I don't think I've ever beat on a car for that hard and long. Thank goodness for coolant upgrade, I have to think it was working perfectly as the cars coolant temps stayed constant the whole time. Oil temps pushed into the 230 range so kept my eye on that. The only thing I noticed is that my AWE exhaust or Downpipe must have shifted with all of the hard turns as I started to hear a weird vibration sound come up through the center console area. Only happened at lower RPMs. I'm thinking something was rubbing. I was revving the car passed 7k rpm so many times it was screaming through the turns. If there were any bolts loose, they were going to come undone.

    Everybody loved the car, especially how much power it pushed out and the fact it's a sleeper and no one would know what it could do. The McClaren guy behind me couldn't even keep up out of the turns.

    Great day, really pleased with the car, see attached pictures below:

    As a fellow glacier white S6 owner...very cool pictures to see your car in the mix! Love the look of it.
    I went back through your posts to see if you mentioned what grill you have on it. RS6 obviously but which manufacturer?

    Mine is an aftermarket one. Many of us have gotten them through Dubstop.com, contact I worked with their to get the right options is Rus. Quality is good for the price.

    That sounds like a blast! So many cool cars, so little time.
    What exactly is the coolant upgrade? Bigger radiator or better quality coolant?

    I think you got the link to it above. One of those mods that you don't see but well worth getting it if you plan to track or run the car hard for extended periods of time.
