From things I have read on these boards if MB adds any more power to there rear wheel drive E55 the are going to have to put some big tires on back to give it more traction. GO AUDI!!!:dance:

At first i thought it was great. Then after a second look i started to wonder if EVO has any clue to what they're saying.
"the new S6 will get a twin turbo V8 (which in our Beast makes 450HP) and the new RS 6 will get a "detuned" version of the Gallardo's V10".
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the new S6 to have the same power as the "old" RS 6 yet the new RS 6 will have less than 500HP. Why the heck would any one want to buy the new RS 6 if they follow that logic. In the past the RS models have always been a HUGE leap in power over the S models. Take the RS 4. It had OVER a 100HP leap on the S4. Same story with the RS 6 over the S6. It would be unimaginable for Audi to follow the Story that EVO is giving us. And if indeed it is the case then THAT RS 6 would have to be a QUANTUM LEAP over the old one in vehicle dynamics for it to be any quicker than the old. Sorry for the rant.:cheers:
