I think brutal is about right too, in a world where the big tvr's/diablo/gtr might be better described as savage. But it's all relative isn't it' :)

Waiting on a quote from Zenith through work. If no use then I will probably go ahead with the 14.5% discount. The only thing accelerating faster at the lights should be the depreciation.

The RS4 has rarity on its side, but from a driving perspective i always preferred the M3. Sorry, i know i souldn't be saying that on an Audi forum! :kissmyrings:

I struggle to see how the RS6 seems brutal in any way. In my test drive i just thought it was a typical VAG product turned up to 15! No bad thing, as that's exactly what i want, but seriously - how can it be anything like a TVR? On a dry road, i can't see an RS6 breaking into oversteer in any scenario, but will see if i can prove myself wrong of course :lol:
When you overtake on an ARoad...... you can plan to be at least 3 cars further ahead than you normally would; my 911TT was probably the only car that came close to that feeling of speed - Brutal, and in the damp, the car feels like the rear wheels are going to rip through the whole car and catch up the fronts. Again Brutal, and damned scary.

And that was a standard car I had before ordering the PE.

You will be able to overtake most two seater Ferrari's / porsches etc - or at least give them a run.... with your two kids in the back waving, and a fridge plus your dog in the boot all at once. Brutally embarrassing for the other car.... lol
