Can you post your 60-130mph times?

It’s there in the chart - 7.99 sec

In the post you replied to - 7.99s

 

[Loe]

7.99 60-130mph is quicker than even a stock RS e tron GT (where it's closer to 8.6 seconds using math from publications such as Car and Driver).

According to MotorTrend, the GTS traps about 123.7mph, so it's adding some HP on the GTS here with that almost 129mph trap, even more impressive since it was at 90% SoC.

Anyone have 4S numbers yet by chance?

It would be the same as the Audi E-Tron GT

I could be way wrong here, but etron GT is a bit slower and less powerful from the factory than the 4S. In theory, shouldn't the 4S show better post-tune numbers than the etron? The post-tune output on a 4S should be around (or slightly better) than a stock Taycan GTS, but the Draggy numbers in that Etron thread don't seem to reflect it. Again I could be wrong, just thinking out loud.

They are the exact same cars, just software tuned. It will be the same numbers for the 4s.
The ASG is what Audi detunes so the 4s is faster and feels faster because of the drivaibilty adaption (throttle response)

I purchased a new Draggy to see what sort of times my GTS would put down with the Redshift tune. Here is my best of three runs (they were all within about a 1/10th of a second). Runs were done at ~90% SOC and tires at 40psi. Clearly making much more power but not quite Turbo S numbers in the quarter mile or 60-130.

Compared to my stock GTS, your "tuned" GTS is showing higher G acceleration and 0.5 seconds faster to 60. Looks like a Turbo!

The GTS and Turbo has the same hardware. GTS is software detuned. Redshift unlocks this

ok, this makes sense. Thank you sir

I drove a i5M60 which is much slower than my car, but if felt significantly faster than mine because of the instant power delivery. Even with the throttle response at its most aggressive, you don't get that on our cars because J1 platform is a high speed car that gradually delivers power.
It's definitely not twitchy.

the negative to that immediate power delivery might be faster wear level on parts. the regular Taycan power delivery is just fine, having the ECU reprogrammed to deliver full amount and not partial is all that was needed IMHO.

Do you happen to have any 60-130 stats for your GTS when NOT using launch control? Clearly that is where we (GTS and 4S) are going to see the most significant increase in performance.

I do not, lacking a safe and appropriate place to make such a run right now.

Correct me if I am wrong but launch control does not affect 60-130 times. You only have it for initial (I think) 2.5 seconds 60-130 is unaffected From LC.

Yes, I recall references to 2.5 sec, but that would be odd for the non-turbo models as it means you don’t even get the full benefit of overboost for a 0-60 run….and the turbo models would only get the benefit of it for 1/4 of the quarter mile.

This would also make my “tuned” quarter mile time very odd given the stock Turbo is quoted at 10.9 sec @ 127mph ….effectively implying my car is making less HP than the Turbo in overboost (seeing as the “overboost” is permanently enabled in my car). I would add that my GTS feels significantly faster than before so I do not believe I am *only* making Turbo-level hp figures (615 or 670….relative to stock non-overboost GTS of ~510).
