On my last business trip to Colorado Springs I realized I had never had the S6 in 7th gear. I put it into manual shift and went to 7th gear at 75 MPH. It was only turning 2,000 RPM. With a 6,400 RPM redline it will hit top speed well before it runs out of revs.

Hope there is no rain in those Irish Hills today!

Happy Father's Day to all of our Nascar dads!

I am going to be in Denver, so early ping again.

If you haven't seen, Jason Leffler passed away from injuries sustained in a dirt track race this past week.

Weather in the race area is is looking wet off and on with thunderstorms this morning, clearing for awhile, and storms returning in the early evening.

To be serious I do notice a lag before the turbo kicks in when I mash the pedal. I’ve read why this happens and tis said that you need to be north of 2000 RPM so that there is enough exhaust pushing the fans to get the immediate turbo boost.
