Are you looking new or used? If new, then a slightly used S6 would be better than a new RS5. Their price differential isn't that big even when new.

$3000 over your budget?! That's relative pennies at that pricepoint plus the S6 is superior platform to mod should your itch go in scratched.

$3,000 would be a stripper. A well equipped S6 is $85k. Over $90k if you want B&0. A well equipped RS5 is mid $70's. You're talking $10,000-15,000 difference.

Contact Stasis. They will sell them.

My answer - get a barebone S6, which already has Navigation, Xenon, and Front Heated Seats. You can throw in the Carbon Fiber trim ($500) and Cold weather package for heated rear seats ($500) and the Total = $74,900. The S6 is faster than the RS5 and has the luxurious interior of the A6. It will also have the Sports Differential w/ Drive Select as standard. The Bose speakers are enough - no need to spend for Bang & Olufsen.

With Navigation and some minor options, the RS5 will be around the same price.
And frankly, I'd go order a barebone S6 - because the barebone S6 has so many standard options built in.

While I love my A6, I really missed having a coupe, I also want more power, the stock engine of the a6 really don't do much for me.

So my options are trade it in and get a rs5 or do some mod to it like stasis flash and exhaust
Mods will be easier on the wallet but will a modded a6 be close to a rs5?

Thoughts would be grateful
