When cornering hard in my RS6 I feel a vibration through the gas pedal as if it were somehow mated to the suspension??
Is this normal, if not opinions?
Cheers

Yes, it's normal, especially if you still have DRC.

Varying opinions as to what causes this- from drc, air in the break system to worn bushes on the pedal, could be either or all or none, but it is common !
Me, I prefer a tight bush.....

Yep, its normal.
A lot of it is to do with 450+ hp passing through a very large car with Audi's dreadful DRC (worse in the Avant with such a large shell vibrating).
I noticed it was really bad on a RS6+ with the 10mm lower spring drop, but amazingly now that my DRC has been replaced with coil-overs I hardly ever experience it any more.
Big tip - ditch the DRC as soon as you can.

Hi guys,
I have the same issue after replacing the DRC to H&R coilovers and have the car lowered a bit. It mostly happened on bad surface when I was corning. Glad to hear it is normal (well to a certain extent).

Normal...but very odd sensation. Feels like the judder from ABS brake on my former Subarus kicking in but happens on the go pedal rather than the stop pedal. Had it fer 3 years no better and no worse for it. Roads are much poorer and get it more often but that's another topic.
