Sold the Rs/6 on to an s7

Latest update, I lasted four days without the APR tune. Wow what a difference 563 hp and 627 torque, car got 24 mpg at 85 mph. The APR tune was cheaper 1600 versus 2k for the rs/6. Vagcom lowered it, turned off the seat belt chimes, key rolls down windows/sunroof, no warning when entering data in mmi when moving, drl to 100%. Pretty scary once I was done I had multiple faults but everything cleared, I thought I have this car for less than a week and I broke it. Engine sounds very nice with the windows down, still a little quiet. Handling with the sport differential is the backend really turns in compared to the rs/6. Driver Assist Package is the shit, adaptive cruise which in stop and go is a must, lane assist you can take your hands off the wheel and it keeps you in the lane, and blind spot warning. Comfort seats massage, heat/air very nice as well. One of the biggest things is when compared to the rs6, I was always expecting something else to break with the 6. Don't care now, good for the next 85k miles. This might be the end of the mods for me, stock wheels are nice and it is quiet but I don't think 5k for a new exhaust is worth it.

Please explain? These specs exist on many an RS6. I said it in another post, 10 years of development and a slightly quicker car in the S7 and RS7 models isn't attributed to the engine IMO. I attribute it to the transmission. The few 10's of a second are associated with more gears which can afford increases in gearing to aid in acceleration which the 5spd in the RS6 can't match. Add to that improved internals that make quicker shifts and voila you get a better end product. I would hope that a full decade of development along with lots of $$$$ would put a smile on ones face.

the difference was the stock s7, to tuned s7. The 7 is faster no doubt and I would agree the transmission shifts unbelievably fast. It doesn't have the same pull as the 6 but gets there faster and smoother. Even though 627 ft lbs of torque I never saw on my 6 even with apr stage 1. Yet, the 6 was almost violent acceleration is the only way I can describe it. Both platforms are the shit, much respect to both.
