I was able to stay with him pretty well, but I don't know if he was just waiting for the right time to bone out...?

I don't think you would get creamed
Really I think most people think the difference in 0-60 times of 1/2 sec makes a huge difference but it doesn't . The RS6 should be able to step away, but not dramatically. This is especially true when you are on the highway and/or public roads where traffic is involved.

Your car is quick but the C5 is lighter and has more power not to mention a turbo torque curve. An RS6 definitely deserves its respect but I think 'creamed' is too strong a descriptive word - unless of course, this C5 RS6 has a chip.<ul><li><a href="http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/sedans/0209_audi_rs6/">RS6 Specs</a></li></ul>

Doesn't matter whether you win by an inch or a mile...
winning is winning! Haha just kidding. It's from Fast and the Furious.
But seriously 1/2 a sec at 60mph is approx. 45 feet, and that's a lot when it comes to racing.
