  • Sit behind the wheel of this Unitronic-Tuned C7.5 Audi S6, while I drive up through the snowy mountains of New Hampshire!
    We're running Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ tires, a 93 Octane Unitronic ECU tune, and Unitronic Stage 2 TCU tune.
    Let's see how the Michelin's and Quattro All Wheel Drive work on the slippery mountain roads.

    Truly an amazing car. '16 S6 with the same tune here. Multiple 2000+ mile road trips the last year. Im coming to the end of my journey with this car but had the opportunity to take hwy 24 from Minturn CO. to Hwy 91 to copper mountain on a sunny day but yet there were flurries. Same tires and high rate of speed and could not believe how capable this platform is. Planted, endless torque, speed on demand all with a full ski box(Packasport 115) 9n top. Im going to miss.

    How did the car feel underneath you? Steering, turn in and traction in those conditions? Looked awesome 👌

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy  3 роки тому +11

      It was an absolute blast for sure! I know this term is overused, but it felt like it was on the rails. Very stable, with fantastic turn in and traction, although a little bit numb and not incredibly nimble... But that’s what you get with this kind of car, especially with a relatively long wheelbase and awd, they’re going to be a bit isolating from the road.

    ‘18 S6 owner here. Adding the tunes, were you worried with burning the warranty for the car?

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy  3 роки тому +1

      Hey! A little bit worried, but there’s a chance it won’t be detected by Audi if you un-flash your S6 before bringing it to the dealer. And at this point, the car’s going on 3 years old. I’m not sure how long the warranty is for, but the likeliness that something is going to break during warranty period is pretty low.

      @@Itsuhsikhworld Just a marketing strategy. I think they did it so there would be more incentive to buy a “higher end” model, like the RS6 and RS7. It’s just to differentiate the lineup. I mean, you can essentially make the S6 an RS6 by upgrading the turbos (minus the transmission of course), and people know that, and see that it’s not worth the $30,000 or whatever it is price increase to buy the RS.
