Default Top Ten Reasons to buy a RS6

<center><img src="https://www.audiworld.com/news/02/rs6detail/header1.jpg"></center><p>
10. I will never be able to afford a RS8 or a Nuvolari.
9. It will cost me over $25,000 to update my A6 with new wheels, tires, brakes, suspension, shocks, stabilizer bars, exhaust, chip, turbos, grille and rear badge to make it like a RS6 so why not do it properly.
8. I need something faster so I can reduce my 90 minute rush hour commute to 88 minutes.
7. I saved $400 a month by remortgaging my house. I can add that to my current lease payment and just afford it.
6. Rumors are that someone has already chipped it to produce 520HP and 495 lbs. ft. of torque.
5. It will become a collectors car and will only go up in price.
4. The $2,000 customer incentive is just too good to resist.
3. I always buy whatever wins in Car &amp; Driver shootouts.
2. The neighbour I dislike down the street just bought a M5.
1. It's one damn fine machine!

Number 2 sounds like a prevailing point...

Default Sounds good to me, except...

I think the increase in value is a bit of wishful thinking

I like #7. I just did a refi and that's the excuse I used on my wife. She didn't agree :-(

Default Number 6 is beaten already - MTM say up to 535bhp (568 with changed turbos)

Erik posted about it on his site: <a href="http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=941">http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=941</a>

Hohenester have an upgrade with less plumbing required: see <a href="http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=943">http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=943</a>

And Audi UK can offer Abt chips to 505bhp through the dealer with guaranteed no impact on warranty, the ECU is sent off to Abt in Germany and quattro Gmbh give the upgrade their blessing.

Default Number 8 is my favorite!!! Two minutes are PRICELESS...!!! Also, my second favorite is #2...(more)

I like the fact that the RS6 is faster, even though it's an automatic...!!!

I'll admit that I'm not a "real" driver, but I appreciate not having to "shift" to make the car go...
