Cross drilled rotors!!!!!!!

[Al Delemo]

There will be NO cross drilled rotor option available to US bound RS-6's. It was confirmed by my salesman who asked the question in Arizona. Let's see now! After market brakes, seats, 19"wheels, tires, Nav system, did I forget something? Thats a lot of after market for 90 big.

My dealer confirmed that the cross drilled rotors will be standard in the US versions as per his intro. in Arizona. I will try to confirm this ASAP .

John,
Check out these pics from the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. Audi has gradually removed 7 or 8 options from the original options list and or the European available options. Some way to treat a customer or keep a customer. I wonder whats next?

Al,

those pics definately show no drilled, but the U.S. spec sheet IS
showing that the car will come standard with drilled. my salesman
is also saying the same thing but then you NEVER know for sure.

IMHO...

"Ventilated" discs does not mean the same thing as "drilled" discs to me. Ventilated discs only indicates that the discs have the central venting vanes.

[Benman]

true, true...

but it will serve a similar function (without the cool looks).

Don't worry about the drilled discs. They do little to improve the braking I've discovered.

Go for Movits if you want the real thing. I don't think the disc is the biggest problem, I think it's the construction of the caliper and the brake pad area.

Al,

It seems that all you do when you post info here is complain about Audi - what gives? For example ...

"We as Americans are 2nd rate consumers to Audi. We don't get half the options available in Europe i.e. 19" wheels, center console NAV w/DVD, Recaro's, a spare tire and a number of other codes n/a in North America. I have a 02 A-6 4.2 and it drifts to the right all the time! They can't correct it, I actually have to lower the air pressure in the front left tire 3 lbs. to get it to track straight. The front window motors (both) have been replaced twice because they bind and squeek. The OEM tires (Conti's) shake a little at 50mph, they have been balanced 4 times since I've picked up the car. WE DON"T GET WHAT THE EUROPEANS GET. I'm taking my $ 90,000.00 to my Porsche dealer."

Why all the bitterness & negativity? ... Especially when you've already decided not to buy the car ...

Come on Al, you know you what the car you know you do LOL.
Did those M5 guys sent you over here to bash our lil precious RS6, Because no matter how much you bash the RS 6 I dont think anyone who has theirs on order will change their mind:D

Lighten up and go buy yourself that Porsche you want and smile.

Peace to all,
