Congrats to Dave for your blistering 617rwkw run... which he followed up the next day with a 593awkw run.

He took out the Tough as nails, outright power and AWD dyno trophies at Melbourne Autosalon this year.

The dyno runs were pretty consistent, with most cars getting around what they've recorded on other dyno's.

Also of special note, the Osman's $300,000 yellow bathtub recorded a mind boggling 102awkw.

Now all we need is a scan of Leewah's Dyno sheet printout.

More details and discussion in the VIC section.

617 at rears (hence rwkw) and 593 at all fours (hence awkw), think they removed the driveshaft on the front or something to cut off power to the front wheels.

He also has a torque splitter which could have helped.

Thanks for your comments peoples. It was a long road to getting stupid numbers out of the car without it blowing itself to kingdom come.

I haven't scanned the dyno sheet yet but will when I get some time quiet time at home. Should have it up soon.

We'll go racing soon, prob early May once we make sure the car and engine can sustain these power levels for a few runs.

    • I mean I agree. I've seemingly never had issues and I have RS4's in the rain, but I drive pretty slow in the rain, and I commute around on the street and pretty much never push it. But it's not like you're going to uncontrollably slide off the street with them in the rain. At least here in Aus. And I say this before I drive to Tassie in Winter. AS above, the term "Semi" is a bit of a misnomer. The ContiSportContact7 is also a "Semi" or a "UHP" tyre. It's the same category as an AD09 in any case.
    • These are not semis. None of the tyres in that comparo are semis. They are UHP tyres. Perfectly streetable. I'm on my second set of AD09, after using a couple of sets of AD08R. On the street. Every day. I get 15-20 thousand km out of them, which is perfectly acceptable. They are a really nice tyre to drive on. I have few, if any, complaints.
    • You'd hope, if it came from ACS, that it wouldn't be that.
    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
