Difference between a6 and s6

Post by luke2152 » Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:36 pm

Just brought an s6 the other day - only I'm having a sneaking feeling that its really a rebadged a6. I'm not overly worried because I would have brought it regardless for the price.
Suspension feels a little wallowy at high speeds and while it has enough torque to move the earth it does seem a bit lacking in outright power.

How can I tell them apart. Engine is ARS 4.2
