This is the area where the RS6 really shines.

People on this board are talking about an e65 with more hp and torque but Mercedes needs to address the issue of traction first, how about wider tires, less weight, LSD, all wheel drive to start.

You and I are on the same page. Take AMG to something more than just blistering straight line performance. Imagine a lightweight (3750lbs) E55 with 295 rears. Weight reduction courtesy of CF where sensible. I would live to see a real tranny choice as well. Either SMG or manual. There would be the perfect sport sedanfor me. This car has huge potential...if only MB would do it. BMW will with the M5, but without question I prefer the MB inside and out by a mile.
