Pretty sums up my experience- I had a on aolder vxr8 before the rs4 and it was basic, unrefined, big and heavy but good grief was it fun.

Even though the new RS6 was faster that the big Aussie estate, it was said that the RS6 was not that perfect in the corners. Any thought how this could be improved? Obviously without making it a hardcore track estate :)

don't know if it was DRC or air sprung.

I would look to changing the geo or other suspension setting to get the front a bit more darty. Maybe a stiffer rear arb
