What's with the red line on the tach -- I thought it was 7000 on the RS6...

It is on the S6, at least. RS6 is a biturbo, so perhaps not as high-revving.

Regular S6 doesn't have 'em either! Sucks man. They should give

the 2 different wheel choices.

Isn't there a significant difference in the operation of Ferrari and BMW type systems vs Tip?

I don't mean in how they are operated, but I thought I'd "heard" that the other systems were supposedly engineered differently and somehow "superior." I'd be pleased to hear that Tip is as good.

Tip is licensed from Porsche, correct?

Are the Audi paddles fixed to the steering column or the steering wheel?

Tip does seem slow to to shift to me (and there's that Audi issue of not letting us have control over 1st gear), but I admit to not knowing squat about the technical issues behind any of 'em (including Tip), I'm just here to pose the question.
