Also why would you need to spend money to get a good 0-60, you already have everything you need a twin turbo V8 and a 01E and 1765kg weight
I understand there's no point in logging a fast 0-60 in case gearbox gets damaged, I never do it either even with much less torque, I just do gentle starts before the clutch is fully engaged and only then floor it to the redline.

If a stock S8 01E book value is 5.4s to 100kph thats with 355hp, and your RS8 has 650hp, then I estimate your car could do 0-60 probably in just over 3.0s flat?

Has anyone ever broken a 01E? I keep reading Americans are putting it behind big-torque V8's and that it can handle something like 700lb-ft?
The black and red Mustang in my Video have a lot of cobra chassis parts and they are biturbo charged, they have 2 old S2 turbos in each car, but for this year they have change engines to bigger 5.4L and the black is going for a bigger single turbo and the red car vill use belt driven Compressor but I hope I can drive faster than them again.


The problem I have is the grip on the street, So to get a low 0-60 time I can't drive on low profile 18" tires, instead I have to buy some drag race tires, but I can't use smaller than 18" because of my RS6 brakes.

The 01E is good but it is not bullet proof, I have friends with Audi S2 that destroys 01E gearbox all the time on drag race on the streets, but they drive low 9sec run on 402m so they have a lot of power.
