Here's the back story. Bought the wife our first Audi 2 weeks ago, A6 3.0T with Comp Pack. She luvs it! Last week I had to take it back to the dealer so they could fix a small "ding" in bumper. While I was there the dealer was staging the new RS5. I made a passing comment about trading my 2015 Z06 straight up. Next thing you know, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. So here I am today with 2 beautiful Audi's. Here's a pic of the RS. And yes there is some sellers remorse as the vette is a beast.
Very nice trade. I had a C6 Corvette for 12 years and it was fun but nowhere near the refinement of my S5. It also does not have the service support that the Audi has since you are taking your car to the same service department that services the Chevy Spark and Chevy Malibu and there is no distinction at most Chevy dealers among the two. The one thing Corvette does have if the community feeling. I ordered mine when they first became available, flew out to Bowling Green and spent the day on the assembly line watching it being built, started it up for the first time on the line, drove it off the assembly line and was given it's "birth certificate" from the plant. It was an amazing experience and the Corvette Forum has a lot of Corvette enthusiasts who are really passionate about the brand. It is by far one of the most helpful forums out there and you can't go more than a few minutes before more post pop up. Then there's all the Corvette events at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green and senior management of the Corvette team who participate in the events and the forum.

Yeah, the corvette forum is a great source for everything Corvette. I never made it to Bowling Green but always heard great things. I did make 2 trips to the Ron Fellows corvette driving school at Spring Mountain. Great fun!
RS5 obviously is a different animal. The fit and finish in the RS is far and away better than the C7 which was far and away better than the C6. But that 6.2L supercharged engine was glorious....
Still, I'm loving the change. Headed to the N.GA Mtn's this weekend. Should be fun!
