allroad tip gear ratio/speedo question- what rpm do you turn at 70 mph??.....
Brought an allroad home this weekend to try (and to sell the wife on). The allroad turns a whole bunch more rpms on the highway than my '98 A6 2.8Q.
at 70 mph:
my A6 turns- 2500 rpm
the allroad- 3000
Both tip, both in 5th gear. Is this normal for an allroad with tip? If so, do we know if the allroad has a different final drive ratio than an A6 2.8?
Other than that, the allroad is one fine car. As my wife put it- "station wagons don't have a right to be this fast." This from a lady who used to race Porsches. Now if I could get her to warm up to Highland Green.......
Stay tuned to see if she gives me the green light.

allroad is geared a bit shorter because it's Audi's "trucklike" entry, at least
for now (too bad it won't stay that way). The 6 speed is geared even a bit shorter -- I'm at about 3200 at 70 mph.
I don't know tip ratios, but here's a comparison of manual gearboxes in the various 2.7t cars that Milpitas2.7T posted way back when.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/11584.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/11584.phtml</a</li></ul>
