Sad day....took a deposit on my beautiful RS6...she will be gone in a week

[Cmnair]

I will still stay connected to this community. This was one of the best car forums I was a part of. A lot of knowledge in the group here and everyone willing to help and provide insight

I do want to get back into a twin turbo V8 platform...so may be back soon in the guise of an S8 Plus. Keep doing what you guys do and keep this forum alive!

Will be popping in now and then.

Thanks Erik...Will keep engaging on the forum, perhaps the new owner will pop in

Yes he is a fellow Audi guy, actually works at an Audi dealer

[Muggy]

Sounds like a match made in heaven...

Sorry to see it go, such a prime example, but sounds like it should be well cared for... :rs6kiss:

Yes it's going to a good home and to someone who appreciates what this car is.

Glad to see it going to a fellow Audi enthusiast, beautiful car.

Thank you...he is not too far away so maybe I will get to see it now and then.

That is the best option one could hope for. Glad you were able to sell it and it went to likely great owner too.

Thanks nene! it was great to meet earlier...I guess we won't be doing an RS6 meet any more :(

Well on the bright side the wife’s car is back in the garage. You knew that wasn’t going to last long. Congrats on the sale. Hopefully you got close to your asking price.

We can just turn it into a 911 meet instead.

Hahaha very true...it's currently undergoing some TLC at Detailing Dynamics

As they say "happy wife happy life"...still have the car, new owner will be picking up tomorrow....in terms of price yes ..I think all parties came to a mutually satisfactory agreement.

Just looked up detailing dynamics. Damn I wish we had places like that up here in the hills. Couple body shops do pretty decent jobs but nobody takes it as serious as the big city guys. After photos when you get the car back please.

The RS6 is gone today sadly. I meant my 911 is at Detailing Dynamics

[DKP]

Well I see your pair of Porsche’s got a shiny new floor to sleep on. NICE

It's always a sad day to see an icon such as the Rs6 leave one's hands. I've had 2 , and still miss having one in my garage . FWIW, I currently own a Cayman GT4, a Cayenne S as well as an E63S AMG ...and I still miss having an RS6 around. Speaks volumes of how good it is.

I believe we actually met many moons ago at EPL . Tony was tuning your white C6 A6 at the same time he was sorting my Stg3 B5 S4.

Nice stable btw...yes I remember meeting you!...I had a white C5 2.7T, Tony tuned it to 427 whp with Aquamist W/M injection

Sorry I know this is not a Porsche forum but since people asked I hope it is okay to post pics of my RS6 replacement after detailing. :)

Speaking of Porsche on an Audi forum, I just received some great news from dealer....
"I just wanted to let you know that your Taycan has completed production and is currently at the Port in Germany waiting for the next transport across the Atlantic!"
Funny how my new car will be coming across the Atlantic while I am going in the opposite direction for 3 week trip to The Azores.

Thank you!

Fantastic color combo for a 997.2 Turbo S !! is that Carmine ?

Ok..I'm going to turn this into a Pcar thread lol ! Here are pics of my GT4. Bought it a few yrs ago w/ 550 miles on it, now has about 5K miles and a few track days. I can't imagine my days without it. It checks off more boxes than any car I've ever owned with amazing levels of grip, brakes and stopping power are insane . Always an occasion when I take it out for a drive.

@Nene- congrats on the Taycan ! I'm eventually going to get a full plug-in as well, just don't know which one yet.

Very nice GT4...The interior is Carrera Red on the 997.2

[DKP]

Nice job on the detailing. Did you do the whole ceramic coating etc?

Yes the entire car is coated along with the wheels and calipers.

[MaxRS6]

Woot- Great looking Turbo S!! That is a great machine. You will make many other drivers on the road sad/depressed about the car they are piloting.

I look forward to your future thread of picking up a replacement RS6 :jlol::addict:

Went on a short road trip with my recent addition to add to the Porsche material..hahahahahaha

Nice 996 TT Max! I assume you still have the old girl?

[MaxRS6]

Yes sir- The RS6 shares the garage space. I used it the other day to transport me/clubs to the golf course. The clubs don't fit in the 996 frunk- hahahaha. The RS6 is here to stay as we have too many shared experiences (good and bad) to see it go.

My other 996 has been in rehab for many months. I hope to have it back on track soon! After everything was put back together, the ABS is not happy. Thus; tracing down this final issue so it can be released.

[MaxRS6]

Update- ABS is all good after wiring to a front speed sensor repaired. It is put back together! A lil paint touch up and clean up remains. I'll be out at MSRC for a day of testing/tune in a couple of weeks. Then it is off to meet some friends at NCM mid September.

Damn you guys and your fancy VW's :lovl:

Really nice selection of cars, and I can see why you would move to a more nimble drive, plus they look outstanding.

Maybe it's time for me to get one LOL. Each of my neighbors has a Porsche now, I feel left out. The old guy next to me has one from the 60's-70's, not sure on the model. My other neighbor just got a white with red trim 911 S from the late 80's I would say.

^Do it! The 996TT prices are still good. If you have not driven one- do yourself a favor and find one to test drive. However; be prepared to convert funds into metal :) It is a dang fun car to drive.

I love the RS6. As you all know- No rowing gears, plenty of room, quattro, nice power on tap, and rarity makes it a fantastic car for my soul/body transportation.
