Default Just drove a 550hp RS6!

My brother does stereo / entertainment installs in high end cars and is working on a heavily modded RS6 with 550 hp. I stopped by his work and we took it around the block - HOLY **** is that thing fast. Not as fast as the 911 GT-2 we drove last week (I still have whiplash from that beast!), but not much slower.

Having recently driven an E55, which I thought was insane I can honestly say the RS6 is in the same league. I would probably go with the E55 if I were to buy one of the two - mainly beacuse I live in LA and 4 wheel drive is not needed plus the RS6 does not get enought props out here...

Thanks for reminding me why I don't trust leaving my car with anyone.

Default We had permission and definitley did not abuse it, the 911 or any others...

Made sure it was warmed up and did not try for any records + shifted before redline...

Most of these guys have fleets of cars + it boosts their egos. They can afford to relpace the car..
