MY17 GT-R vs. C7 RS6 PE

Interesting article on PH pitting these two power houses together. A slightly surprising head to head but an interesting read nonetheless.

Pirelli's doing their usual and falling apart.

I currently own a GTR and have done for 2 years. Currently on the lookout for an RS6 to be a daily driver alongside the GTR as the "fun" car and I agree with the majority of the review. Although the on paper performance is similar when pushing on they feel like completely different beasts.

Contrary to popular belief the GTR doesn't have the 4wd foolproof feeling anywhere near the RS6, I've had multiple squeaky bum major sideways moments in the GTR. The RS6 felt felt far more sure footed but ultimately less involving. .
