one fast RS6 package

Look at this RS6 package from Hennessey Motorsports. Very expensive but could be worth it. What do you think? RS6

I think that is bullshit. I think it is virtually impossible to have a single shop with enough experience on ALL the types of cars mentioned....

Audi RS6
BMW M5
Chevy SS Truck
Dodge Neon SRT4
Dodge Ram Truck Hemi
Dodge Ram Truck SRT10
Dodge Viper Competition Coupe
Dodge Viper SRT10
Hummer H2 & GM SUV's
Jaguar XKR, XJR & S-type R
Lamborghini Murcielago
Mercedes-Benz AMG
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Porsche 996 Twin Turbo & GT2

Knowing Hennessey's dubious business practices I wouldn't doubt him using other tuners packages and just adding a premium to their package price. Not only that, he claims to have an 800hp TT Murcielago........right..........I smell something, bullshit.

Interesting. It does seem expensive, though. Speed Sport Technik has a package for the RS6 that puts out middle 500 crank HP (410 whp and more TQ) for somewhere around $6000-7000. I honestly do not think the Hennessey package is worth the incremental HP bump for its considerable (excessive?) price disparity.

I just checked - Speed Sport offers "a Milltek, O.CT, and Hyperboost treatment for 530 hp (411 whp, 438 wtq)." It is down 70 hp from Hennessey's 600 claimed crank HP, but Speed Sport's does not touch the OEM turbos, and costs $22,xxx less.

Yep, thats what I was talking about, there are also good examples on the Viper boards.

With all the bad press he has recieved I can't believe he is still in buisness. But he did get a lot of good press about the performance of his cars from some of the big car rags, so that is still helping him gather buisness.

I would stay far far away from him and his buisness.

Smile Speed Technik's comments

Well......One of the most experienced RS6 Tuners Chimes in......

I don't need to go into their business practices but what I can comment on is what we do.

OCT Software 2500
Milltek Exhaust 1995
Hyperboost Valves 280
6.5 Hours of install 520

Now this gives you 77whp (411 whp and 438 ft/lbs tq at the wheels) for 530 crank hp.

This also includes fixing some factory defects which I'm sure Hennessey knows nothing about. In fact Audi got in touch with us as to how we discovered these problems and will be releasing a TSB because of our discoveries.

We have done more RS6's than anyone else in the US. We have one in house and are picking up another one for a captian insano project.

Our reputation speaks for itself, if you do a search on Audiworld (speedsport) you will se what I am talking about.
