    Regarding turbos...I realize there aren't many RS6 at the ~100K+ miles mark, but to-date very few failures have been reported on any of the forums. I remember hearing about one - ?

    Here's a vote for O.CT engine and tranny chip. Have had it for 1.5 years - big power, better shifting, no problems at all.

    Actually, the difference is about 30% (~$730 vs ~$1000). For me, the cryo treatment is worth it but this is a highly non-scientific opinion!

    if you're not strictly looking for lowest price, you can get cryo-treated OEM rotors for about the same price as dealer rates at frozenrotors.com.

    Regarding brakes, at least you can save a lot on *pads* by going aftermarket. EBC redstuff works great for street, and I had good luck w/yellowstuff at Daytona last month.

    Daytona Speedway event - 4 RS6's

    My car is a sedan (FYI, no Avants were sold officially in North America have heard rumors of a couple being in the US).
  13. FYI: RS6 weight: 4300 lbs including 3/4 tank gas

    A while back, there was a thread speculating about the true weight of the RS6 (I mentioned that Edmunds.com states RS6 weight as 4050).

    Today I had a chance to weigh the beast at a scale at...

    MrBucket, my B5 S4 6-speed stick had this issue, and quite a few other B5 S4 owners (mostly 6-speed) on audiworld's forum reported the same (back in ~2002ish).

    With my B5 S4, I used a well-known mod (from audiworld's forum) to add a rubber cap to the throttle stop to reduce the effect of this issue.

    I looked at the throttle stop on the RS6 accelerator...

    For what it's worth: The improvement in transmission shift quality alone is big enough that even if I could switch to stock via an interface I never would. I have O.CT, cost $2000 for ECU and TCU.
