So today I took my boss's RS6 out. That thing is a pure beast. Heavy though in stock trim. The twin turbo V8 just catapults that thing like a rocket. The car handles amazingly well with the stock suspension, mostly because of the AWD. Stock tires are kinda weak. The 8 piston front brakes are amazing.

The only problem is it comes with paddle-shift or auto... paddle-shift isn't too bad but is kinda tough during turn-in turn-out.

:D

Wow, your boss let you drive it? I heard there are less than 200 of these RS6 in the US. How do u like it compare to the Evo?

Nice! I think there are 1,500 of them in the US. Most CA dealers charged $100K for that car, but I've seen one for sale under sticker around where I live.

I had to drop him off at the airport. So I drove his car and drove it back, he's a car nut and I'm a car nut, so he let's me drive his cars. I still like the EVO overall because of the handling and steering of the EVO. The RS6 tends to plow into corners because of the weight. The seats aren't as aggressive either.

I can say that the RS6 would be a monstrous big track car like Big Willow or Laguna simply because it has unending power. Drop some Ohlins on and some deep racing seats and shave off about 400 pounds and it would be one sick car, just like the SCCA World Challenge GT RS-6's tuned by Cosworth.

:D

I heard like 90% of the RS6 in the united states got stolen by professionals, any one know about that?
