Few runs with an '03 RS6 vs. my '06 M5
I have a friend in the area who just purchased a rather cherry Black on Light Grey Audi RS6. He brought it to my house not too long ago and I was really digging the car. Now of course there are 3,842,709 Audi A6's of that same exact body style in my zip code alone, but you still have to love an RS6. Anyway as I was headed onto the highway (rt.280 west) this morning he just happened to be mashing his way through traffic and passed me by on his way to the onramp.
Needless to say I was on his bumper like Jaws on a teenage girl's bikini bottom. As the ramp spilled out onto the highway there was a rather sizeable puddle, and as we both gunned it my DSC bogged me down while his AWD rocketed him forward, -1 for the Bimmer. I managed to get up next to him to say "Yo man, its me!!" and we paced each other waiting for a clear run forward. We both hit it with a nice 1/2 mile stretch of road in front of us and I pulled him by a few carlengths. I was REALLY impressed by the power of that Audi, especially at the fact that he could just mash it and go like stink. He got back next to me and yelled "Yo that thing sounds WILD" and we played in traffic for a few miles.
He was being way more aggressive than I would have preferred so I hung back and waited for another safe run. As we entered the next big junction to Rt. 287 the road really opened up, and we took it from 70-130, at which point I had put a few buslengths on him as the BMW's sweet spot is (unfortunately) somewhere between Mach 1 and Lightspeed. I do wish it had more useful power, but damn it is one hell of a rush to see 3 digit numbers fly by so fast on the HUD.

Sounded like fun! Those RS6's still look damn good to my eye but are quite slow at high speeds. I remember reading an E39 M5 could pull on it in triple digits (and obviously a W211 E55)!

good stuff........always fun to play a kittle with friends
He needs to chip it to make it a little more even, I like RS6's, but they are a bit underpowered.....as they trap only about 109 stock, which is no match against an M5 off highway rolls.
