Finally had a chance for a side to side run to 65.

Left the 550 a clean car length behind.

LOL

He's begging for a rematch.

a 550iX runs what, 400bhp? Even without a tune, the RS6 packs more punch. Why would that driver think he has a chance against you??

Nice. One of those smoked me a few weeks ago. I wasn't in the RS6 but I wished I was :)

The BMW is 400 pounds heavier. 400 hp but 450 ftlbs torque.

I've shied away from modifying the engine for fear of killing the transmission. I have a minor leak from my driver's side intercooler but it does not appear to effect performance at all. LOL...

126k miles and still on the original transmission? i was under the impression that the BMW is lighter than our RS6 and that would be some kind of a match for us but i am glad to see it's not...actually not even the old E39 M5 wasn't able to beat us on a straight line, and that was definitely lighter than the F10 which got fatter over time :)....well done!

The RS6 is underestimated weight wise (most think its heavier). I have a lot of respect for the car for that.. Its pretty light considering AWD TTV8. I knew the BMW would be heavier. E60 M5 weighs 4100 lbs, for sure the newer body style would weigh more let alone under AWD config.

lots of aluminum in our cars, more so than an A6, and it helps. just don't get caught out in a hailstorm...
