Guy on RS6.COM with OCT ECU and TCU, milltek ran 12.42 @ 112mph I have not taken my stock RS6 to the
drag strip. But I can tell you the RS6 and B5 S4 are very different.
There are days I love driving my RS6....the sound enhancing exhaust and ease with how fast you can go in it, can be VERY fun. Punch it going thorugh a tunnle or under an over pass and the sound it produces is a religious experince
. It is not a great track car as it weighs too much and the brake can overheat with heavy use. The DRC works great for street and is useable on the track but not fantastic.
On the other hand the S4 I have is much more invloved and tossable, which is also VERY fun. It is pretty heavily modified so the speed is very similar but the power delivery is TOTALLY different. Just got it and waiting for Stasis motorsport suspension before going to the track. So will have to wait and see how it does there but just from driving it for the last two weeks I can tell it should much more user friendly on the track.

The size is great way more roomy then the b5 and the lux. Factor is amazing. I love my telematics.
did some one say smooth, when your going 115 and it feels like 50, that is smooth. I love this thing. And when I'm through with it ill walk on all you guys. Bring on the k04s. Some one better come out with a charger for the b6 boys quick.

Why did I drive it? Because I've had the opportunity on several occasions
Would you pass up the opportunity to drive one?
It's still a great car, but the power delivery is very different from an S4
