    I realise you can't do a blind test for driving different cars, but one of us on this forum will have to be very good at driving to notice 1.6 inches difference. The BMW and the Audi are great cars...

    I agree, 4WD really helps out, although it's a bit scary on normal tyres coming downhill when you remember that a 4WD doesn't brake any quicker... especially with a nice heavy car:dance:

    In the UK rear offside fog is mandatory only, not two rear fogs... I got pulled by the police a month or so ago for having front fogs on with headlamps as well while driving down an A road......

    On a backroad in the UK the RS6 is not a great car. Probably helped it to last place in the recent Evo shoot-out... albeit of the top cars of the year. Really have to remember what these cars are...

    In a straight line I would guess RS6 and STi would be reasonably close and then RS6 would pull away. Rember STi for the USA is I think usually 265bhp. Jap version is now around 300bhp Spec C is a...

    Mr Zeke

    Glad to see you took him in a straight line... however, throw in a couple of bends and you would quite literally be left for dead. A few years ago I had a 220bhp Subaru Impreza which would...

    Hi Guys

    I actually replaced my mirrors with body coloured ones. Any decent coachworks should be able to fit them reasonably easily. I think mine were around £500 eventually colour coded to the car...

    Tailpipe, 190mph seems a tad optimistic from this setup. Whenever magazines take true exotica to oval tracks (which admittedly scrub a bit of speed) there aren't many that top even 180mph... they all...

    Quattro, I think we agree. There is no doubting the RS6 is quick, relatively easy to drive etc, but its weight will tell at the Ring. Interestingly a Spec C will lap the ring in absolute standard...
  19. But does it feel good?

    Heresy I realise, but I can't help thinking that the P will feel better than the Audi around the RING. The RS6 is a great car, but it is very heavy and is more an autobahn cruiser (very high speed)...
