Nah, not old just badass! Nothing like a naturally aspirated V8! This is why I am trading in my A6 for the RS5. Bad to the bone.

The RS5 is certainly a more fun car than the A6, but I would get an M4 with 6MT if I was going to buy at this time. Much lower weight, much better weight distribution, much more torque, and manual transmission! Seriously badass... Audi has some catching up to do with the B9 RS5!

The sound of a turbo or supercharged 6 doesn't even come close. I had a Buick GN in 1983with the "new" technology turbo 6, and it was fast as heck tho.
