Rs4 sold - c63 amg purchased

Post by zedrs5 » Thu Jul 12, 2012 12:23 am

Hi guys after having a s3 , rs4 b5. Rs4 b7 felt like a little change for a while and bought a c63.
Loving it !!

I do miss my b7 , but the power of the c63 is phenominal.
The engine sound is good but do miss the sound of my b7 Milltek .

Planning on getting it mapped by doug as he is he only car specialist in whichi trust ..

Will post some photos up later this week .

Nice car, current shape?

I thought about one while Audi were fannying around in releasing the B8 RS4

Thought the gearbox was a little abrupt at full pelt and the glorious sound seemed to benefit people on the outside more than the inside

I have also always said that I need at least one four wheel drived car for those times that the snow does come

Even I have thought about one but whether I'd get bored of the noise just as I got fed up with lack of traction I wont know til I drive one (Zeds... :bigblink: )

cool car.

Lots of people like to complain that it's auto only or that traction is a PITA but it's a good bump in power and the power with a few bolt ons is pretty incredible. That engine has a HUGE amount of upside in it while ours is pretty pushed from the factory. Not saying we don't make good gains but the C63 is in another league...there are a couple running the quarter mile in the 10s, all motor. that's nuts.

I ve got a C63 , which I d agree is a great car but fancying going back to Audi RS and four wheel drive. A good RS 4 or a new style RS 6 perhaps. Had a previous RS6 which was great but had a murderous year with DRC failing twice and a gearbox replacement. Scary, so need to pick well with the next car.

Good choice zedrs5. Which shape did you go for? I agree the power is phenomenal and sound is glorious all the time.

Had a B7, now in e92 m3 but test drove c63 coupe this weekend - oh my, seriously tempted - the noise on that thing is awesome and it's quick with a lot more torque than rs or m3.

Now my Beast is wounded, this is one potential replacement. Any negatives aside from the all weather traction?

I drove one the other day in the wet and the straight line traction wasn't an issue really. Very briefly it stumbled at low speeds but it was very composed. Can't comment on corners but as said straight line was fine. The noise though!
