Its curb weight is 4292 pounds, 0-60 was in 6.3 and the 1/4 was 14.8@97. See link for more info from the Car & Driver Dec. 2005 road test<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/c6a6/msgs/647.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/c6a6/msgs/647.phtml</a</li></ul>

I don't think many here will compare the two
The new A6 is significantly heavier (~250lbs) and the 4.2L engine is a bit detuned compared to the S4. Plus (as far as I know) no manual transmission offered.

Get used to it.
Cars are getting bigger, safer, and more powerful. The only way for the weight not to go up correspondingly would be for the mfg's to use composites and lightweight metals--then everybody would start complaining about six-figure price tags.
