I've gotten along side of Vettes, M3s S4's, none can touch the RS6.....unless they were not trying....

Aronis, you've beaten a Z06?
That is exactly what I tried to do today when I was at the Audi Driving Experience event in Fontana, there were a couple RS4s there and we chatted briefly about lining them up but the bastards at Audi stopped us.
Though some of the girls who were working there are kinda cute.....
I'm driving an RS6. I should probably update my profile to reflect that. I'm also at 5280ft above sea level where turbos provide a significant advantage over NA engines.
Has anyone here beaten a Z06? That's one car I usually give the nod to. Very fast even up here at altitude.
The Ruf R Turbo was faster when we tested

Are you sure Erik!?
I had a go against RS6 in my current M3 and RS6 doesn't exactly kill e46 M3 at all. I don't go by youtube either but i had two instances where RS6 was just slightly faster
Really? You must be the exception because I usually walk them pretty good. The latest runs were from 60 to about 120 and it wasn't pretty. Raced one from a dig a couple of months ago and it was more of a fight but still not a race. I also NEVER instigate the race so they almost always have the jump on me. As I mentioned earlier I'm also at 5280ft and have 2 more cylinders and a couple of turbos to boot. I have a ton of respect for the M3 and if I wasn’t so broke these days I would own one in a heartbeat. For a N/A V6 it certainly hauls the mail.
Hi, the altitude you are at, does no favours whatsoever to NA engines, they loose about 10-15 % power. I used to own RS6 myself so am not making up anything, just my experience. I still admire RS6, and believe me, if i could afford another one, i would. But price tag is not the only thing you worry about unfortunately, maintenance .. could cost a lot. M3, when you buy a good example is very very reliable car, and much better on fuel to RS6, not that it matters to me much but it is
N/A engines really do suffer up here and it makes owning a RS6 that much more enjoyable. Ohhh please don't remind me of the maintenance cost! I'm no longer under warranty and on my own now!
Heh@Erik. At the same Audi Driving Experience event there was a dude who rolled up in his Z06. Marveluous looking car.
just regular Vettes
a friend just purchased a E63 and il be surely linning him up soon, il keep you guys posted but my RS6 is very hard tuned so its not exactly "stock"
An E63 will only beat an E55 at the top end so I think even stock RS6 should be able to take it in a quarter miler.
What kind of work do you have done if you don't mind me asking?
rs-mad: what launch technique do you use? I've tried brake-torquing to 2000rpm a few times, but even with that method the spool-up/launch is mediocre at best. aside from the slow-ish launch, my car pulls *very* hard.
It humors me to read these (mostly American) posts. The same thing's being said at m3.com, m5board.com, and so on. I regularly get challenged by M3's etc. on city streets. They must think their cars are faster since I won't race over 50mph in the city. I don't even get to 3rd gear.
If you never exceed the limits, how do you know where they are?
