Poor Neil. I've seen more 3.7 stick directed at you over the last few days then ever before. If its any consolation, your car was certainly the best looking one for me at the last meet, probably the most pampered too. +++

Where to start........?:ROFL:

Hopefully seeing the RS 6 on Sunday. Think Daytona pearl may be my new favourite colour, look at it shine.

Same colour as my A6 QS Avant - does suit them very well +++

That's a damn sight cleaner than ours at the moment!!

Amar,

this is one of my most wanted cars.

quick, comfy, and can go ikea and collect a bed, i mean, what more could you want.

the costs just scare me. my A8 is quite cheap to run imo (except when its crashed)

Also Daytona pearl grey, what a colour, ive already got 3 litres waiting to spray the drift car :)

Where did the ally mirrors go... :Confused:

Anyhow, I miss my RS6. Yes, it wasn't anything like as comfortable as the D2, and it had nothing in way of toys compared the D2, but its the only audi I ever owner that actually made my internal organs feel under pressure. Seriously.

The W12 D3 has 450 ponies. So does the RS6, but they're galaxies apart. The W12 will dial up the power, but is so linear, you'll never notice. You just get there quicker, and even with the window open, theres not a hair out of place.

The RS6, now thats like a D2 S8 in terms of take off, right upto about 1750 revs - then it roars loudly, snaps your neck off, and rearranges your lunch as both the turbos spin up and start to dump fuel at a rate previously seen only when the US leaks it in the sea.

Dont ever think you can drive it gently and get a sensible mpg. Forget it, its just not possible. Its not just a discipline thing, as all it wants it nailing hard with that gorgous V8 rumble, but the turbos are always purring, just supping the juice via the twin fuel pumps.

Mine was pretty special in terms of spec, and the clifford remote intellistart made it even cooler.

Owning an RS6 is one of those 'must do before I die things' although these days, its probably worth doing whilst fuel is this side of £2 / litre +++

I still kick myself we didn't do a deal you know...

+++ Having driven an RS6 at work there is nothing I can add.

The only cars I've driven that come close are BMW M Cars and AMG 63 Mercs but they are not Audi's and I wont buy anything else at the moment..

Although a great car I dont think I could live with one. They are too harsh as a daily driver.

As IT says they just love to be nailed.
