Get it jailbroken and use Puffin to browse with flash...

Re: The unofficial RS6 buyers guide.
You can watch a lot of flash stuff using the Slyfire app without jail breaking the phone, but I just couldn't be bothered yesterday.

Re: The unofficial RS6 buyers guide.
The C5 is great car, just like most high performance cars the maintenance and other running costs are high.
Any lighter rear wheel drive car will handle better than the C5 or C6.

Re: The unofficial RS6 buyers guide.
Would that be a manual 2001 M3? According to that, the C5 wouldn't reel the M3 in until they hit 140MPH... fishy.mavada wrote:http://vimulator.com/#/v5/drag/15502+2722
Anyways, look what a C5 stage 2 can do, it'll monster an MRC800 C6 RS6... and a C5 RS6 4.2 V8 (450HP) will beat a stock C6.

No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: The unofficial RS6 buyers guide.
Yeah, my RS6 is noticeably much quicker than the M3 especially once you get above 70.

Re: The unofficial RS6 buyers guide.
Interesting replies. And honest too. Thank you. I'm not especially bothered about which car is the quickest point to point, more in how involved you feel. Perhaps I ought to consider a manual RS4? More involvement, lighter?
On a lighter note I love your smiley selection......

Re: The unofficial RS6 buyers guide.
A sorted 6 is an excellent "all round" package. Test drive one and you'll make your mind up.

Re: The unofficial RS6 buyers guide.
I'd class the RS6 as a long distance stormer which cossets you as opposed to feeling every little detail of the road. Coupled to an auto it places you even fiurther from the action. The Tiptro mode does make things better but if you're looking for M3 style dynamics in a 2 tonne 4WD Estate I don't really think that's what the RS6 is about.M3? wrote:Interesting replies.

That being said my previous car you could feel every little detail of the road and with no driver aids you felt completely involved. Ultimately it got tiring for any length of time.
I now treat the RS6 as a car that's practical, comfortable and devastatingly quick in the right conditions. Ultimately there has to be a trade off and driver involvement is probably one of them. I wouldn't call it a bad steer, it's just not pin sharp either.
Best advice is to try both, see which one appeals to you. I loved the B7 RS4 and it is a great car, but I'm a firm auto convert so the 6 won out for me in the end.
