    ? my car is stock and is fast! Why all the RS6 bashing?

    At 4300 pounds it's heavy.....add some LP's to the trunk??? (get an iPod man, save lots of weight for music) and eject that passenger next time.



    I also drove a 2013 A8 4.0 TT for 3 years and I found the RS6 about even with it, despite the better transmission and more Hp in the A8 (listed at 420, but it was more like 460 if not more...)

    Don't mean to bash. I'm a recent buyer and I've wanted this car for about 10 years. One by one, I've had the chance to own many of the cars I once coveted but could not afford. At very high speeds the RS6 is very impressive and rock solid -- especially in a straight line. I'm just not believing the low 4 sec 0-60 times I read about that triggered this infantile-wantism.
