'Duffed up' by a 7

Post by pete62 » Mon Apr 03, 2017 4:17 pm

Got a bit 'duffed up ' by a black mean moody RS7 this morning on the A507. Anyone on here?
Normally it would have been a different story of course, Here's my defence?
1) It was very foggy
2) It was busy with commuters
3) I don't know the road and camera situation that well.
4) It's a bit 'kin early in the day for that sort of thing!
All of which probably sounds like a load of excuses but rest assured in different circumstances it would of been red faces all round in the 7 !
:bigblink: :shock: :D

Even taking the excuses (genuine) into account, why wouldn't the expected outcome be as happened?

Both cars performance is not only matched, but identical, so a touch more commitment, balls or even skill/knowledge by the RS7 driver would hand them the win.

This thread was from April, but what car was Pete driving? I'm assuming a C7 RS6? If so, the 7 is lighter, has better aerodynamics and skinnier tyres, I'd expect it to be faster than a 6 regardless of Audis claimed identical figures to 62.

Edit, my response was based on Pauls comments which made it sound like Pete has a C7. I'm guessing Pete has a tuned C5 though as that is his most frequented forum.

DOH, I hadn't even spotted it was an old most. Must have wandered into the RS7 forum by accident & saw the post near the top :bash:

Just seen this, was actually a supercharged rs4 I was driving and it wasn’t a ‘couldn’t keep up ‘ more of a ‘didn’t see it coming’ as I was in bimbling to a job mode and wasn’t sure where I neede to turn off. A full list of my excuses for being done over can be seen in the original post!
Different circumstances I think I would be in the running.
