Same Matte White RS6 that I posted before, now with aero kit & Enkei RC-T4 wheels:

Two questions.
1) How do you guys like the RS6? I know the RS4 is supposed to be a he'll of a car so I assume the RS6 is the same.
2) Do any of you actually feel a difference from The 4.8(?) FSI compared to the 5.2 Quattro. I have the 4.8 and I'm just curious if the 5.2 is worthit.

Btw, there are some great pics in this thread. The Matte Orange R8 just looks incredible.

I haven't tried either R8, the older RS6 or RS4 yet, but I think my fully tuned RS6 has found its niche: sloppy driving (on my part). If I've had a few beers, I can still get 'round the Nordschleife by obliterating each rumble strip:

I chalk it up to AWD and the car's heft that keep it composed both on and off the track. Oh, and besides the X2020, the big Audi wagon has the highest HP of any of my premium cars.
 
First my 4 year old daughter's car:

I love the Avant. Mine is still breaking in the engine and sports 933+ hp. Unfortunately the lightest you can get it is in the 1500kg range. Because of the power, it sure doesn't feel heavy until you start turning. It takes a definite driving change to get it to turn... mostly giving more time to shift weight. Interestingly enough, despite its weight, my 1500+ kg Avant loves to fly (hence the photo above). Even minor rumble strips and bumps send me airborn which can cause a catastrophic wreck.

I actually spent over an hour on the Avant to try to be competitive in Like the Wind. It has severe understeer and although I don't think I'll ever get it to win Like the Wind, I think I can help the understeer.
 
Fully tuned Quattro '82, very nice machine, can punch well above it's weight.

Pity there arn't any Group B versions in the game, could only imagine what it would be like to throw one of those around, be worth for the sound alone, still maybe next time.
