Yeah, i was more specfically talking about the RS6. I am sure the M5 is more fun on track as imagine oversteer is on demand :twisted:

I've taken my RS6 on track a few times... its a good bit of fun, as long as you appreciate and take into account its weight :) obviously my Accord Type R toy is much better round track as it weighs nothing but the RS6 is still more than capable being tracked.
I dont understand all these "why track an RS6" comments... its an RS audi didnt make them to do the shopping trips in, they are the hardened faster versions of normal cars.
They are tested round the nurburgring by Audi to make sure they drive right and can handle punishment so to say it doesnt belong on track kinda takes away everything Audi tried to do.
They tried to make it a good all rounder, and imo they have suceeded, i dont think its that outta place on track, once you learn to control and take corners according to its mass then you can actually have quite a lot of fun, i've had the arse end out quite a few times on some twisty tracks etc.

But each to their own i guess, All my cars end up on track and i drive them properly, there isnt a single drive that i go on where i wont give it some at least once.
But i service my cars every 3-4k miles i make sure everything is spotless all the time, i change plugs/fuel filters often so as much as i give it stick i treat it very well!
