C5 RS 6 Top Gear Review vs E55, M5, S Type R

If/when my gearbox goes that is how I'd want it!

...not sure it was the box...

It's crazy that BOTH the MTM cars blew up.

[el_ringo]

I guess if it caught fire and burned the car to a crisp rather than conk out your insurance would pay!

[Nobby]

I guess these cars do get very hot, and any sort of oil leaks onto the turbos could go unnoticed until they caught fire. Then its too late.

Anyone else unable to view any vids from this site?

I was watching that video and felt glad about buying this car, which was further confirmed by this review:-

I have to agree - I really like the steering in the RS6, its easily as good as the feel I had in M-Mode in the M5. What I dont like is that I cant engine brake....but I'm getting used it still.

By the way - why isn't that Friday Thread still going? ....King Sized Bam. Classic.

The steering on the M5 is slightly more assisted in its feel compared to the heavier RS6.....coilover related perhaps...dunno, I haven't tried a DRC RS6.

What I really like about the RS6 steering is you get the right resistance/weight in the steering but you dont get the vibrations of every single irregularity and tiny stone like I did in the M5.

OK so you're talking about weighting? I'd rather road feel, thanks.
