Nope. I'm talking about the 360 bhp NA '03 GT3, the GT2 Turbo is higher than that.

Come on, either you NEED a RS 6 (family) or WANT a Porsche.

Default Depends what you're looking for...

the C4S likely will have stiffer suspension than even the RS6 (it's much stiffer than the sport susp on the 2.7 A6)

the 911 is of course a legendary sports car, and is smaller, more 'tossable'

No truly usable rear seats in the C4S

Minimal trunk space in the C4S

Bottom line, if you are looking for a daily driver, will not track your car, and/or have any need for usable luggage space or 4 person seating, I would go with the Audi without question.

If these things don't apply, consider the C4S, but also I agree with the GT3 suggestion. The GT3 would not make a good daily drive, though, IMO.

If you need space, get the RS6. Otherwise it's an easy choice.

If there are no other considerations (space, primarily), it would be an easy choice I'd think.
