My mate works at the audi training centre in Milton Keynes and he said the RS5 is by far the best RS car Audi make.

He will be the only one then.

Just about every reviewer in the land has slated it.

Sportec RS6 Avant (gotta be Avant!) trumps the lot I reckon.

Im sorry but if i had the choice of a RS3 or a RS6 it would be the RS6 all day long they are one of my dream cars to own! Stunning cars sound awsome! Buuuut! Ide have to have the avant! Its all about a big old u boat that pushes everything out the way whist having a shetland pony, surf board, and 3 kids n a wife in the back! RS6! do it!

Do it Do it Do it  :driver: :driver:

My friends owns a black RS6 avant with a DMS remap, apparently its running approx 710bhp! The car is immense!!!

He also owns an 2008 911 turbo that is for sale as he prefers the RS6!

Started looking at these the other week after thinking "what would be better than a V10?"  - A V10 twin turbo :evilgrin:

Saloon versions, fully loaded, low mileage are looking tempting.

650bhp with a remap and a zorst  :drool:

This one looks quite tasty.

After all, I only do around 6-7k miles a year :party:

Dont be silly you arent getting 650hp with a map and zorst.

Try 780hp with a map zorst and filter!

If you want something silly John my mate has a B5 RS4 with over 750bhp plus computer controlled 250bhp nitro's system. Its just being finished off at the moment, its also had a full bare metal re-spray in the original black, RS6 Brembo's, H&R Coilovers and stupid amounts spent on the engine.

The RS6 is a beast of a car, weighs in at the two ton mark even in saloon spec.

Vagtech tuning with an air intake and catback system gives over 700bhp :chicken:

I wouldn't like to think what the mpg is though :grin:

However if I had rs6 money id get a used 911 turbo instead.

RS6 vs TTRS etc is a completely different car. For pure straightline pace and comfort id go with the rs6, for track work, 1/4 mile its gotta be the TTRS. The RS6 wont be able to stretch its legs till the higher speeds over a equally modded ttrs.

There is a evotech modded rs6 which is as quick as a the 458 italia on youtube when doing silly speeds.

You could still buy a TTRS and get 600hp from it for the same price as that rs6 though john.  :happy2:
