Re: Sanity check needed

Sounds like a good shout will have a look at his car-getting a known forum car is always a smart move seeing as there are some complete dogs out there

Re: Sanity check needed

Thought so. But sometimes you get people posting on the C5 forum looking for info on the C6. They are great cars. But I fear you might be disappointed coming from a V10 R8 in terms of face-melting performance. They’re still quick, obviously. But not in the brutal way the R8 V10 is. I personally hav...

Sanity check needed

This seems a very healthy page which is more than can be said for the R8 one! Recently returned Audi RS owner and came from an E63s estate (spoiler alert-it was awesome). Now in a 2016 4S R8 V10 Plus-a very very worthy replacement. Why the sanity check? Well the R8 isn’t exactly practical and whilst...

Coming back to Audi R/S

After a brief hiatus to AMG (see my review in ‘Adversaries’ section) I’m next week picking up the worthy replacement for my now gone E63s estate: a 4S 2016 V10 Plus with almost all the whistles and bells. Will post about it when I get it but as a starter does anyone have the UK brochure (including p...

Re: AMG E63S estate review

Just to finish this thread off I’ve now moved away from the E63s after 2 very happy years of ownership. Closing thoughts……. Things I’ll miss: 1. Ballistic ride, sublime handling (for a 2 ton lump) and epic soundtrack. 2. Monster performance. Moved into Race Mode (or individual) at the push of a butt...

AMG E63S estate review

Been planning on doing a review for a while now seeing as the E63s is the RS6’s natural rival (as there is currently no M5 Touring). If you read my sig block you can see I’m a serial Audi RS owner and have had three RS6’s in various guises. What I’m not though is a fanboy to a particular marque-a gr...

Re: RS6 performance

Picked it up, lovely. Congratulations!!! Now get a you tube account opened up and post some draggy 0-60's before the pathetic audi 'embargo' is lifted (in july!?!?). You'd be the next big thing! Raz Rhoken just did an RS7 PE short review and did a drag run. Car looks brilliant and looks like Audi h...

CAN bus auto theft devices and other security advice

Here is a very geeky and techy article on how CAN bud thefts are occurring. https://kentindell.github.io/2023/04/03/can-injection/ I’m not particularly tech minded at all but essentially thieves have worked a new angle to steal high end vehicles and work around other tech systems. On a separate secu...

Re: RS6 performance

The JA review: https://youtu.be/KHx6Ra_ftJk Looks like the world will have to wait for the rematch with the current heavyweights. Still the better looking car I think and no doubt a far better GT performance car than the rivals. £127k for the Vorsprung though?! Is it £127k worth of car is the questi...

Re: RS6 performance

Just reading the spec sheet for the PE. The only real Competition to these will be the E63s and the Panamera Turbo S. you could also throw in an Alpina B5 as M don’t do M5 Tourings (yet). Audi will 1000% need to be on their A Game to better the others. Even then I doubt the RS6 will be as good (or b...

CarWow Dyno Drag Race and weight comparison: RS6/E63S/M5CP/Panamera Turbo S

Interesting video showing actual power and weight as opposed to the manufacturer figures.
C8 RS6 owners look away now am afraid….
