That was my car for sale ... I had a lot of fun with it and some of you might have seen the write-ups I did when I took it to Summit Point and VIR, where Randy Pobst drove it. Did I "drive...
I haven't posted for a long, long time ... too busy enjoying my RS6.

The stock Audi exhaust, including the enhanced exhaust option, have flats on the pipes for clearance. The Milltek does not have any flat points so it is conceivable that it performs better but the...
Great pictures ... thanks. The Porsche above is a 956 which won at Spa and Kyalami in 1982, driven by Jochen Mass and Jacky Ickx.
Here's a couple of seconds of my Milltek exhaust at VIR ...

A London-based company ( http://www.seafs.com is showing a 2004 RS6 Avant with 583 miles for sale in Los Angeles at the price of $45,500. It seems too good to be true ... what do you think?
Background: I wrote to Randy Pobst thanking him for driving my RS6 at VIR. I admitted that I could hear very little of what he said and asked him what he meant about "tighter" diff for the RS6....
I wonder if the V8 versus V10 question is influenced by the fact that F1 is considering moving toward 2.4L V8's ...
Thanks ... it really is hard to discribe how much fun it is taking the big RS6 on the track ... kind of all the things you want to do on the street but legal and safer.
I don't know about...
I set the tires at 31 p.s.i. at cold for the first day but wasn't that happy with them in the morning ... it poured down in the afternoon and they were fine. The next morning I set the tires at 33...
Thanks very much for taking the time to read my write up and for the kind words.
Brakes: I feel confident that the brakes are up to the task with RS14 Pagid pads and Motul 600 fluid. The Audi...
Last week I spent a couple of days at Virginia International Raceway with my RS6. The highlight of the event without doubt was having Randy Pobst, SPEED GT World Challenge Drivers Champion drive my...
Changing front brake pads:

1. hydraulic jack ... lift at points just behind front wheels and inside of sill.
2. cordless impact driver (I use a...
Great article and pics Erik. Thanks. It still makes me laugh picturing an estate car (station wagen) doing those speeds and competing so well in such company.
Thanks goes to the Reliant Scimitar...
The write up was from last year at Summit Point ... since then I've made a couple of changes. I'll do a new write up but basically the car is awesome.
Yes.
It's me ... just got back. Stopped in Baltimore on the way back for business ... total of over 1250 miles including track mileage. Awesome time ... 165 cars and only one RS6. I'll write something up...
JJV-MA,
For a track pad, the Pagid guys recommend Pagid RS14's ... I'd go with this rather than the greys, since I would put my faith in Pagid not your local Audi garage. The grey's look like they...
My comments on the brakes:
- They work well at the track but experience heavy wear of front pads
- after track use Brakes squeeked at 5-0 mph, Rotors showed score marks, pads had hairline cracks...
Dog boxes are sometimes called "crash boxes". They have no syncros. The main advantage for racing apart from some possible weight saving is that it is easier and quicker to change the gear ratios....

Ummm ... money under false pretenses then ... they had me :mad:
One other thing I thought of:
