Hi Goran
12.3 at 117 but I did have some mechanical issues. A broken selector drum in the gearbox ( my fault!) false neutral between 2-3 Rev limiter set 500 rpm to low (my fault) Gearing still not tall enough so on the limiter a long time before the line Anti squat not yet set up or any of the suspension really Still on 175/50/13 Yokohamas and it need more grip as my foots not down until about 50-60 ish And the engine could spend a little more time on the rolling road as a boost leak stopped play at 250 bhp And if I had some traction I could turn the nitrous back on! So plenty to do

So wheels and the exhaust weigh in at 180 kilos!?!?!?!!!!!! That's nigh on a tenth of the vehicle weight!

the lightest wheels by far are the fat five. billet ally wheels and i weighed them in with tyres at only 15.8kg they were feather weight felt like lifting a tyre without the wheel they are so light and the car was much much quicker with them instead of the RS6 wheels i had only down side if there size i guess

I noticed the same thing going down from 20's to light 18's, the 20's felt like they were holding the car back. |
