    Top Gear Last Night RS6 vs E55AMG

    Clarkson, suprised everyone last night by recomending the RS6 over the E55 AMG, strange considering hes just purchased an E55 AMG
    But it was a whos who of car owners , looks like many are destined for Rock Stars , Dave have you realised you got one before Nick mason , the drummer from the floyd,
    I videoed it so if any of you guys want a copy, i can send it, or if anyone else videoed it who can turn it into a file for the internet please do so.
    Cheers

    What's even more interesting is that he just brushed the M5 and Jag aside - very unusual for Top Gear!

    As soon as johnroberts find out how to use the pm function he can find my snail-mail address and ship a copy. (Many thanks!)

    I'll transfer it to internet-video and host it here.

    clarkson

    Clarkson said that the E55 ///AMG has traction problems. He was driving the car and he just accelerated a bit and you saw the light of the traction control going on and of. I have already seen a movie where they test the E55 around cones and he couldn't make it. It just spinned at the last cones. The RS6 is just the best car of the moment in its class. If I am not mistaking, the RS6 was more than 3 seconds faster around the Top Gear track! For the other ones.. the jag. simply can't compete with the comp. and the M5 is still a magnificent car but now there is better.

    I could host the video, but I think johneroberts is letting a friend host it to avoid the hazzle of sending a video copy to me for ripping etc. It would take time.

    Beware, there will be a lot of traffic...

    The RS6 is on swedish telly at 20.00 tonight...

    Really nice test drive tonight in swedish telly.
    They did a 5-7 min test of hard driving etc.
    Car got 4.1 in average (2 for economy but everything else 4 or 5 out of 5) which is very good.

    Nothing was mentioned about other cars or competitors, they were just hoping for a RSL (Leicht = Light) with sequential gearbox...who's not?

    I hope I'll be able to host that video in the near future.
