That too, but I was having dinner...
It will be a great alternative for someone looking for a "Slush Box RS4". But I think someone really needs to stress, the S6/S8 have nothing but 10 cylinders in common with a Gallardo. The S6 is quick but too quiet. There is just a slightly noticible V10 bark under WOT. The car is screaming for an exhaust. One nice thing I like is the heavy breathing from the intake. The interior is top notch as usual in an Audi, but it has by far the best sedan seats I've been in. The steering is a bit numb and the suspension is slightly undersprung, giving it a floaty feeling at the limit. Despite the nose heavy weight, it's easy to step the rear out with a lift of te throttle. If it came in an Avant over here, I'd snap one up in a heartbeat instead of a Q7.

Thanks much! I drop off my RS4 at FBL today, and pick up my EVO...
which got 996 sport seats in front, and leather put on the rear... plus some interior touches. Did you get the exhaust on your RS yet?
