mike0819 Member 69 Member For: 11y 6m 24d Posted 26/08/18 03:13 AM Share Posted 26/08/18 03:13 AM Previous owner of an tuned 320rkw xr6 turbo, now I drive an stage 2 tuned audi a7 3.0 tfsi superchager. What I miss from the Ford is that low end torque, something audi is missing, it might be stronger in the rs7 model, but compared to the v6 supercharged, even the audi is stage 2 tuned, it just missing that torque feeling of the inline 6. Everything else the audi is better, handling, traction, interior, and the s tronic 7 speed dual clutch. But that xr6 turbo engine is surely something be missed, I reckon a good set up of that inline 6 can hang with most top euro cars, including the audi twin turbo v8. And to all the following members, our xr6 turbo is getting older and older, nothing last forever, what is your next car? Sadly I do not see much choice on big 4 door sedan except euro car. I choose audi cause 4wd, it will be a killer combo if the audi quotro awd match with the xr6 turbo engine, best of both worlds Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94215-ford-vs-audi-my-thought/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about doing the engine swap? Now that'd be a ridiculous amount of work.

My brother got one second hand recently. Nice clean car and it has grunt. takes off well, but does not have that "butt" Dyno feel to it. The RS6 with the lambo engine would be sweet I think, but they go for 70k second hand. I can't afford that. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94215-ford-vs-audi-my-thought/#findComment-1662969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be a wagon though, There is just something cooler about a fast wagon.

Expand Mate I feel you, sometime when I. M driving the audi, I miss my falcon so much, I miss that turbo rush, the torque, the noise. The audi is a nice car, 3.0 tfsi I got stage 2 tune making about 450hp. Straight line performance is good, response is good, but the twisty road, audi Don. T handle too well, I got aftermarket Swaybar and Michilen tyres, but will not match my falcon around track. What I really miss is that huge boosting punch from that inline 6, and the blow out noise. Man I feel like I made wrong decision give up my falcon really. That 3.0 tfsi is no match to the inline 6. I just Don. T like supercharged engine, the 7 speed s tronic is very rough shifting around town, only Pro for audi is when raining, u can still have full grip Until my next car rs7 is ready, hope audi don't disappoint.

Sure the handling is not be as good the Audi 4WD, AMGs or BMW, but the $$$ will surely get you across in all aspects. So happy to stay with the XRT until something better comes along that ticks all the boxes for me. I did like the C63 AMG for a while there.
