Off the line my RS6 feels like it's starting in 2nd or 3rd gear and doesn't begin to seriously accelerate till I've gone about 20 feet. What's the story? I've tried it with ESP off. I've tried it with a brake stand but it will only rev up to approx 2500 rpm and it still feels like it's bogging on the initial take off. I've tried using the manual mode but when you are stopped the display goes back to "auto" mode. This manual mode seems to only work when you are moving. Am I perceptually challenged and it's really working as it should or am I missing some technique. It just seems like the initial thrust off the line is lame yet the mag numbers indicate that up to 40mph this car should be as quick as the E55. With awd I thought the takeoff would be much more dramatic. Any feedback would be appreciated.
