I just got an M6 recently, and i gotta say that C55 "feels" faster than M6 before 4000RPM.. is it really faster? i dont know.. never actually tested.
How does the M6 feel *above* 4000rpm?

I couldn't dig up any pics of upcomming RS6 (only wagon) - do you have any? I also wonder how's Audi going to price it.
As far as Audi's new V10 (As in S6 and S8) - do you know if there is any way to mod it, possibly chip in works?

The only easy and cheap way to get more power out of the 5.2 is to fit an aftermarket exhaust. Miltek make one which gives an extra 20bhp. The engine is bored out and given more low down torque than the 5.0 in the Gallardo. Where you to be willing to spend big $$ then it could be tuned to make about 100bhp over stock with reworked cylinder heads and bespoke engine mapping.

There are no pics of the forthcoming RS6. Any you have sen of the wagon are artists impressions or photoshop. Audi have been able to do their testing under the S6 body but I must admit its rare that so little on the project has emerged from Quattro GmBH

Every S8 I have ever seen--car show, dealership, and on the road--is this dark gray metallic color. I swear they don't come in anything else. Btw I got to sit in that one below in NY and hear the Bang & Olufsen sound, it was phenomenal and hella cool when those speakers slid up out of the dash.

I think I angered AMG gods with this S8 talk - last Thursday I got rearended, not too bad, just like a little tap on the back. Some very minor damage but enough to send the car to a bodyshop for the next 2 weeks.

Ok, ok, I got the message:
AMG
