S8 twin turbo
Re: Brabus SLK's
I know what you mean, but in the driveability way I found it quite like the McLaren F1. If you only use about 1/3 throttle and change up before you hit about 3,500rpm you're ok! I drove it on a hot summer's day though, which would've helped my opinion dramatically! But I can imagine if it slipped in the wet you'd be in a whole lot of trouble. I just love V8's, and I REALLY love big growly torquey V8's! The price tag's a bit steep though for such a raw car. For the same money you could have the FANTASTIC Lamborghini Diablo VT. Now there's the perfect supercar! Apart from an RS4 of course [img]images/graemlins/icon_lol.gif[/img]

Re: S8 twin turbo
Incedentally, just looked at the earlier posts on this thread, and thought I could add a little useful information! The RS6 engine is a BEAST [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img], but the gearbox kinda kills the performance car image it's supposed to have. It's a fantastic gearbox, don't get me wrong, but it just isn't the same as the 6 speed manual in the RS4. I really do love that engine though. Ahhh the NOISE! Oooh, and all the "which is fast, RS4 or the RS6?" business, I can settle it. There's a chap who lives a few miles down the road from me, and we have little "races" around the public highways, and so far he's only beaten me once, and that was because I caught a glimpse of one of those T5's that just look a bit suspicious. I do NOT wanna get nicked with insurance premiums like I have now! But yes, 0-100 or so, RS4's faster (just), braking's better by a distinctly measurable amount, and it has a little bit more stick in the corners than certainly the RS6 Avant. I do like the RS6 though. But for half as much again as my [img]images/graemlins/rs4-button.jpg[/img] it should be a bit nice!

Re: S8 twin turbo
About the same mass as an RS4 though. Sublime motor not for country lane thrashing or roundabouts!
