Is the RS6 really that quick?

Post by **Cornishmoocher** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 9:34 pm

His Rs4 had over 30k spent on it buy the previous owner, and I know he spent shed loads on it- thats what happens when thisg are tuned to a piano wire....
His pheonix is awesome= real fun and properly quick. His chip fat cruiser is also rapid.
We did a RR togeher just afte rhe had spent a shed load again and it only made 500, he was disapointed to say the least, and then when mine rollered more, he was doubly pissed off. I think he is happy now with his combo, he has great car that goes like billio and and a track car that goes like billio with his hair on fire, all at less than half the cost of his Turbo hedge.........A lesson there maybe?

Would imagine the 6tdi is quick enough day to day, point to point too...

I remember the Aussie Top Gear videos ... I think they where excellent

If nothing else Watch the drag race from about 8 mins in ... "that just proves it to me that is the most deceptive car I have ever driven"

The "feeling" was the RS6 just does not "feel" fast .. whereas the stop watch ..... says differently

I know mine gives me a huge grin every time I drive it

Great reviews, "it's very fast and accompished" but "it leaves you cold". Having driven one I can't help but agree with them, IMHO of course.

For now I'm sticking with the C5, it's also a great car.
