Sorry man, I have a full library of stock and modded Hellcats putting train lengths on cars.
I'll check tomorrow. But I'm thinking around 80-90. And mb has no problem voiding warranties on nodded cxars.
Lighten up Francis it was in jest.
That's an obscene amount of money.
for only $132k AND u get a tune.....
kool roof tho.
kool roof tho.I'm sure many HCs could beat many E63 cars, but I would hope stock vs stock the E63 wins considering the cost of one is astronomically more than a HC!
You want to know insane, there’s a laferrari motor on eBay selling for... 285 before, now it’s $385,000
So it cost more for the engine replacement in an E63S than to buy a Hellcat?
I wonder if they offer financing... you know, for the common folk.
for only $132k AND u get a tune.....
Starts at $104K.
these cars are impressive. definitely on my radar if/when I part ways with my audi. rs7's have gone 10.6 @ 135 with only a tune for a few years now. I think once this car gets the tune completely sorted out, with race gas, downpipes, and stickier tires, 9's could be achievable. the audis are getting close with just those mods. in terms of the hellcat argument, I haven't put my audi side-by-side with the hellcat, as I just bought the dodge. I have no doubt the audi would destroy it on the street--even with drag radials on an unprepped street. the audi on 93 octane tune pulls so hard, it almost seems like the wheels are going to go airborn. from a roll, I'd bet the hellcat could walk away. these twin turbo sedans are routinely trapping over 130mph with a tune, so they are no slouch from a roll either.
in terms of engine replacement--you have to pay to play. knock on wood--I don't know that I've heard of a single catastrophic engine failure on audizine from a tuned car. if the engine grenades, I would take the car to an audi racing shop, and have the engine rebuilt. at the end of the day, we are not talking about the engine exploding into a million pieces. we are talking about a crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, head-work, and a block, if you're unlucky.

That’s quite a hefty fee to pay though, IMO not worth the risk. This seems like a car to abuse in stock form and get rid of when the warranty runs out. Perfect lease candidate.
FWIW, sometimes they do explode into a million pieces without much left to salvage, ie. LS7.
I was saying the same thing to myself.
71k?!?!?! Really? For an engine in a car that cost 90K?!? Doesn't make sense. Maybe that includes the labor, the import tax and the sending of person(s) from Germany to do the replacement?
That engine replacement cost must include escorts and cocaine for the German team flying in too. Insane!
