E55 vs Porsche Turbo S Cabrio and Audi RS-6
On the way up to RENNtech today, I ran an Audi RS-6 for a short 20-80 run, I couldn't even go WOT or I would have hit him from behind..... RS-6 didn't seem that quick at all....

on the way home I came across a Porsche Turbo S Cabrio on the highway.... he looked over, we had a wide open road ahead and we ran from 70- 150MPH..... I got em pretty good, when I let off I was probably 5 cars ahead.... and he got the jump.... after we slowed down he was shaking his head with a nice run and a smile....

the turbo S have more HP? probably offset by it's extra weight...

Good kill...with just header I even spanked 520 HP Rinspeed 996 Turbo Coupe in 1/4 but he was tiptronic...very fast, if launched bad then tuned 996 would be a winner in 1/4...stock is no competition...

Enter Pcar guys calling BS in 3...2....1.

I wonder if it was someone on 6bling?

The turbo S has a "tad" more HP over the stock 996tt.
