I like the sprint blue one. It's from Listers Coventry, nearly bought it last week. But ordered a new plus instead (sprint blue). Did bird like the colour, she was going to ring me to let me know?

Ha! Everyone says "RS 6 saloon?" like I'm from some other planet or something, but I've always seen the attraction. Time for a photo repost...

Mine is the 3rd one from the front in the 1st, 3rd & 4th pictures.

Still speechless at the performance increase after the fettling. All i can say is its mind blowing & for sure i'm either gonna lose my license or die very soon.

I'll do a fuller report & take some decent photos over the weekend, as the car is filthy right now.

The Blue RS6 Avant was Sprint Blue & was a special order colour.

IIRC, you can specify any colour in the Audi range for any Audi model, as long as you're ready too shell out mucho pennies. It was a special order colour for Listers demo car.

So what does everybody do with regards to warranty when you have your RS6 chipped. Just forget it or get a secondary warranty.

Been thinking about it for a while now, but just need that little extra shove to do it, but to drive the car without a warranty especially when I had new pads and discs at 10k, is it worth it.

Madden - trust me they would have to look hard to find a chip on an rs6

Sat - it is sprint blue, I nearly bought that one the other week. but for the difference in money I ordered a Sprint blue plus instead!

When I went out in a Holden Monaro on Saturday the sales guy said that if it was moddified then the service guys wouldn't know as it's so infrequently that they would actually get to drive one. I guess the same applies with the the RS6.

The problem would come if something expensive went wrong and then maybe an inspection was called for. :?

Some dealers are more inclined to close their eyes to it than others. They may still do it all under warranty. It is a risk though.
