Well, it's a very different car, to say the least...
I've had the car for less than one week, but I can say with ease that for me this is a better proposition as a daily driver. For a car so heavy...
Less than a week on the market and the car is sold.... the new owner seems like a genuine four rings enthusiast. Mixed emotions on selling to be sure, but I think the Beast has gone to a good home,...
Car is SOLD.
Selling my Beast. This car is low km and has been meticulously maintained. Please see link below:

This may sound pretty basic, but since you say this is happening on hills, I hope you are first engaging neutral and using your handbrake before placing the transmission in park....
If you...
I think when people talk about a fair price, they typically take into consideration what similar cars have been selling for. In the case of Canadian RS6's, the sample size is so much smaller than in...
Nein! Nein! Nein! :nono:
A hacksaw to the pads? Hmmm, then maybe a hammer to the discs if they are out of shape! ('warped' discs, another misconception...)
As above, you need new pads. They are most likely cooked and the...
Yikes. I boiled my fluid the first time I took my Beast on track, at the end of a long straight doing over 200 km/h. Thankfully there was a big runoff that had not yet grassed over... The second...
No question that heat soak would be a big problem at the ambient temperatures you describe, but I agree with the above posts that there must be more to it (that CEL is suggestive). Last year at the...
I'm in Canada and received my DRC letter from Audi Canada several months ago. Are you the original owner of your car? If not, is Audi Canada aware you are now the owner?
Even when my DRC was in...
Gold is a badge of honour for those in the know... :hahahehe::hahahehe:

The ONLY thing that matters to VAG when all is said and done is plain and simple economics. That being said, with the RS brand, excitement and emotion are key aspects of marketing, so they are...
I think Audi is banking on some simple numerical realities here. How many people who purchased an Audi in the last year do you think have even heard of DRC or the RS range, let alone know someone or...
1. This car is all about torque and traction, so it feels strongest from a standing start or during acceleration from low revs and low speeds. Maybe this is why you have the impression it runs out of...
That's funny - our mutual friend from Napanee had no trouble seeing you...:rotflmao:
I don't mean to pee in your cornflakes, but that's exactly how my DRC failure started...
Car came with SP9000's, which were a great tire about 10 years ago... Ditched them when they wore out, got PS2's and never looked back. FWIW, PS2's hold up pretty good to track abuse for a street...
Yeah, at this price point it's a decision that's probably more emotional than rational. People ask me "why not the R8?", and my response every time has been to point at my Vantage and say "just look...
Texas RS6, I'm really starting to bond with the Vantage. As an overall experience it really delivers. Not the easiest car to get in and drive, so what did I do today - took it to the track :trash:...
