Default I guess for fun. I tested a B5 RS4 the other day knowing he'd kick my a$$

He wasn't much of a driver though so every time he started stirring around the tranny he lost quite some ground. Ended up all good for him though, and I was pretty happy as well since I never had opportunity to see this model in serious action until then.

Default It's possible to beat a S55 with an A6...

under the right conditions. I once beat a CL55 through an exit ramp in my lowly 180 TT front-track. Cold snowy weather, damp and ice patchy pavement, my car on winter tires, and the CL55 wearing its summer finest is all it took. A CL55 may be much faster than my car; however, if the tires are not able to deliver tractive forces to the pavement, the horsepower and the torque of this vehicle are meaningless.

Default S55 AMG= 100k+ way out of my league.

Although I could supercharge my engine and stand a chance against him
