I bet that puts a lot of exotics in their place, I would love to visit Dubai some day but would hate not having my car with me!

Exhaust sounds are an individual thing. Every one has different taste but in terms of quality ? I would give it a 100 out if 100.. To me the sound is spectacularly amazing and so epic, its a deep sporty "V10" rumble sound.

I agree with classba. you dont buy an RS6 for power to weight. Get a Mitsubishi EVO 9 MR Light as F### and very tunable amazing on the wiggly stuff

Ripping out things like seats and sound proofing wont do anything to change where the weight sits, is not the problem we have is that massive V10 lump and gearbox and its position ? As it puts so much of the vehicles overall weight in front of the front wheels we all get understeer when pushed hard into a corner .. ripping out rear seats etc will just change the balance and sadly to the front
