Just wanted to say i saw a RS 6 tonight and it made me drool(auto though), and also i saw one on car and driver and it had like some crazy 500 and some hp with a 0 to 60 of 2.7. I cant imagine driving that thing.



Just had to get that out.

Very nice. I haven't seen one in person yet, but like that post earlier, how can you go wrong with 460 hp and AWD? What color?

It was at the dealership and it was dark, but i think it was dark purple,the exhaust is awesome on it too.


Doose by the way i sent you an email

Cool. I'll check it now. Purple? That sounds awesome. A really deep purple would look unstoppable on that car.

how can you go wrong with 460 hp and AWD?

Boy oh boy, Doose, you said it!......or....wait a second.....no....I said it! Ha ha, jk! But it really is true, that car is an absolute beast!

Audiboy, I think this forum has brought me some good luck. After a week of reading and typing about an S8 and an RS6, I saw both for my first time (in the same place might I add!!) in the span of about 3 days! Thank you Audi gods!!

haha sweet, go to the dealership and ask them to let you drive one, dont count on it unless your over 50 in a suit and tie, I always roll in my A4 thinking they will come out and let me drive stuff but they always just talk, im like i dont wana talk I WANA DRIVE.

Totally. I've gotten that same type of attention. Note: I'm 21, so to a dealer I still basically look like a kid that doesn't actually wanna buy anything.

Earlier this summer when I went to a dealer to test drive the VW R32 back in Monterey, I was with my girlfriend and a buddy. We walked in, and the salesman made it very clear that I knew more about the car than he did. I said, "Ok, sell me on this car" and the guy just tells me all the basic crap I already knew with a very apparent "stop wasting my time kid" look on his face. About a week later when I was back in LA, I went to a dealer after work when I was dressed to impress, and got in for a test drive after about 5 minutes of talking! But it gets better! The same jackass in Monterey who wouldn't give me a second look actually called me and tried to sell me on the same car after he recieved my email inquiry about a price quote. When I talked to him finally I told him to go f**k himself after I explained who I was and he realized his error! What I wouldn't have givin to see the look on his face!

Ya man i saw one today, the owner actually lives a couple mintues away from me. Its a 6 speed manual and everytime he lets it loose i have to check my pants the car is crazy. Soon thw owner said i will get a ride in it so ill tell you how thats goes.....

I've drven one. there fun but i wouldn't put that much money down for one.I'd probably just import a Skyline R33 or an EVO VI. SORRY

what about that VW Phaeton? or whatever it is... a W12 or a V8 TT...

i think its along the same lines as the rs6

OK what the hell is a W12? ive heard it before but i cant understand it.

First off....importing an Evo? Dude.....in case you haven't been in one or a WRX..the ride like sh!t.....bare bones.that's how they get their speed.....dude....do the ko4 upgrade on ur s4......mill the head......do the comp, exhaust etc and run vp 112 leaded race gas.........will be a very nice 520 hp or so. ....and reliable.

Yeah ive had a wrx very nice but evo is my choice. was gonna get an evo8 but they didnt have my color (blue) and they werent able to get any till a month from now. (this was back in feburary) ive personally driven an evo 7 imported and i oved it. i was gonna import an evo6.

id rather own an evo6 that can go 0-60 in 3.2 seconds will a couple grand thrown into it. much less than work to an s4. plus thers thousands of more statis in an evo than an s4

why run leaded gas? i ran my a4 on turbo blue 114 uneaded gas. leaded ruins 02 sensors a/f ratio senders, and causes corrosion in the exhaust pipes.

does the tranny control two engines? does the car have two driveshafts? i dont understand how this would work

the first time i went to that link all i did was look at the pictures. -lol

arent all rs6 automatic (paddle shift some)???

yeah

okay just making sure

At my dealer we had a rs6 come in for its 5k service, i went for a 5 sec ride in it. You know you are in a beast when it snaps all four tires loose just from droping the hammer at a stand still with an auto. YEAH HAAAA

thats so sick, i cant wiat to ride in one

For the money you pay for them they are sooooooooooooooooooooooo slow. A kid came on here and said he ran like a 13.5? That seem really slow to me.Oh and why no manaul tranny?

I heard Audi didn't think that the average person would know how to drive with that much horsepower.

r u serious?

Even though it is a RS6, audi still made it a understeer befor oversteer car, and the steering feals almost diconected from the car. but if you chip it and a cat back, you are Fraging flying.

Got to say there is some stuff floating around this forum that is incorrect around the rs/6. Only auto transmission and it is one of the reasons I didnt buy a m5. Don't want to be shifting all the time, on the phone etc... Other reason I didn't buy M5 is the local bmw dealer. Car is 450hp, 415 lbs torque with oversteer not understeer. Took it to the track. If 13.5 is slow in the quarter mile for a luxury sedan you need some help. Handling is superior, car is so responsive.

Yeah, the info was incorrect two years ago! :D

Hey guys. M3 owner here but thinking of getting the 2003 RS6 that the local Audi has on display. 24k miles for $49k is not that bad. How is the average mpg? I read that is very low, some say its 10 MPG. Is that true ?

From way back in the post - the RS6 only has the tip/manual because at the time of development Audi didn't have a manual tranny that could handle the power/torque the RS6 puts out.
