I met up by accident with a black 430 scuderia spider and he wanted to play. I gave him a good run for his money, but his gearing him gave him an edge. Great fun though

weight may be a factor too?!?

Weight and better aero will give him the advantage everyday of the week. But get that badboy tuned and you'll surprise any supercar owner

You won't. Running a DMS 6 at nearly 700bhp, and a convertible Bentley kept up well. A little devastated to say the least.

and the RS6 is not a super car???

If things got bendy I would expect the Ferarri to have more than an edge....as long as it was not wet, that could even things out!

You had it on independent rollers Robbo? Sounds strange, the Conti Supersports "should" be the only one to give you trouble

I agree with Nudenut. Power/torque to weight ratios factored in a conti supersports should be the only "trouble" but even then with a remap the RS should eventually see it off. One of my good mates has got an F430 spider and we went to a wedding in our cars up the M11. My car has a remap by Richter sport who reckon its pushing out 649 bhp. And I had the edge on the motorway. I dont mean pulling away at a canter but creeping away when we gave it some and we both had a passenger each. Off the line it may have been a different story as an F430 is obviously way lighter and torque doesnt matter until you get into 3 figures. Ive had comings together with other quick cars; new GTR's and alike and always pulled away eventually but never had an advantage off the line simply because the RS is too heavy. I really want to get mine mapped by MRC to over 700 but im bricking myself if anything goes wrong.

I've put more than 20,000 miles on mine since MRC tuned it.

Still smilling that smile.

Likewise no issues to report at £10k+ apart from aching face

Am I a little thick here, whats a DMS 6 I presume its a tuned RS6. You could have all the turbo's and horsepower in the world but if your balls are bigger when you are hanging around a tight bend at 140, on a narrow road, thats what counts. However the Ferrai did look the dogs 'B'

That sounds like you use yours everyday! Certainly reassured me now!

25,000 miles since February.

At an average of 53mph.

I have both a Bentley GT coupe and an MTM tuned 730HP RS6 and there's no-way the bentley can keep up....trust me on that! 15,000KM and enjoying my ride:)

He kept up...believe me. I was creeping away but it certainly wasn't the vanishing point that some on here want to believe. Had it mapped to 690 by Mike.
