My 2021 RS7 is on the boat.... Nardo with black optics. I had the option to take their RS6 allocation but I could not see myself in a wagon. In retrospect, I probably should have ordered the RS6 just based on the expected good resale value.

Btw, the R8 looks fantastic stock but I assume you have plans for it?

I love the RS7's new looks but its performance in numerous tests (along with the RS6) are just not up to par with the F90 m5 or the F92 M8... it gets trounced in a straight line and track. I guess in the real world the looks almost outweigh the lesser performance but it was really shocking to see what the gaps were/are with the RS cars. I think Audi is limiting them a bit. But the RS6 is so good looking that Id drop my F90 LOL... maybe

Since the R8 I got is basically all dialed with carbon and wing and wheels- Ill be lowering it and adding exhaust. The exhaust is being fabricated now and the lowering will be done this week. Ill use this thread to host the pics once done. Enjoy that RS7- lord knows I did with my two but after I blew the engine on the 2nd one with only 2650 miles Im a bit wary with bad luck clouding my mind. The R8 is presumed dead with no new model coming out so the last chance to get a 600 plus hp car with a normally aspirated engine is very pleasing. Im sure you still enjoy yours so much.

I know the RS7/6 is a few steps behind M5/M8 but I plan to get a tune and that should make up for the difference. I may not go with APR. I was not all that happy with the tune on my current C7 RS7........ looking at MTM for the next one.
How the hell did you blow a new RS7's engine? I hope you did'nt eat the cost of that misfortune.

It was just a random thing- driving home and going at normal speeds and poof smoke everywhere. Upon a deep dive at the dealer there was a hole in cylinder 1's wall and the forensics said it was happening from day 1. Who knows but they paid me for the car and took it back (Audi NA). So I had the car for about a year as I didnt drive it much and was made whole.

Im very very very wary of tuning Audi's now as they tend to look for mods when the car is in for service vs the likes of MBZ and BMW who dont look but can detect if they want.
