After seeing the poll, looks like untested, the RS6 leads the opinion poll.

Must be right though.

WELL wat do you guys thinks,
For now, think it will be the RS. A bi-turbo M5 is probably on the way and that should fix the issue. Fastest straight line acceleration means little in the real world, think what counts is how dynamic the chassis is especially in taking corners etc.

im new here, just reading and getting into some threads,

like this one,

truthfully we all got to admit, at this current stage, its got to be the AUDI on top, more oque, more power (bhp)
and well its newer, aui will not launch a car late so it be beaten by its most competitive rivals.

all no doubt will be superb cars, practical supercar diving, but the AUDI is edging it for me.

ps how do i make my posts like everyone elses, with pics and my cars desc

I guess since we are talking quarter miles the Audi's 4 wheel drive will give it the advantage getting off the line.
I have not yet driven an Audi which has the precise delicate and accurate feel to the steering of my E60 M5, perhaps the RS6 will be better. But at the moment even a Merc C55 AMG was better than the Audi's steering, although the Merc was turgid by E60 standards.

this one still knocking about, well afetr seeing a vid with the E63 vs M5 , i think the merc is the quicker of these two, and well the audi, (untested yet) will do both.

Still waiting for some amateur racers to put this to the test, anyone seen any utube vids of this new audi yet???

I personally don't like any Audi, including the RS series. but, E63 I am greatly interested it. Never seen one, never drove or riden in one. I have an M5 and only thing I hate about the car is the SMG. If RS6 came with DSG, I would vote for RS6 but since it does not, I would vote for e63. I still think M5 is the best, but if I had to buy another car, I would try the E63 since I already tried the M5. So my vote is still M5.
