So I have owned my car since 2006 as the second owner. I have noticed but have never asked this forum, does anybody else have drilled rotors? Is it standard or did the previous owner have this done?

Standard - get ready for the sticker shock when you need to replace them

There is a solid rotor also available for a bit less money from Audi. But for the USA, drilled was OE.

All RS6 rotors are drilled yes. You can elect to utilize a non-drilled rotor which is available from VW/Audi (from a Phaeton I believe). I have non-drilled rotors on the front of one of the rides here while the others are all drilled. Makes no difference in performance or longevity. If you are 'tracking' your car, I personally would suggest utilizing a slotted rotor vs. a drilled as drilled rotors are prone to cracking under repeated high heat cycling.
'02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
As Jimmy said, Cross Drilled was standard for North America and Solid was standard elseware with Cross Drilled as an option.
