Default Opinions please. I am starting to like the c5 S6 more and more...

I have been driving a E350 V8 Mercedes V8. It is my grandparents since my car is on jackstands.

I am starting to love automatics.

I like the reliability of v8's compared to the bi-turbo.

Would anyone on here think a s6 avant would be a terrible choice?

Because they are similar in price to a B5 Avant.

I have never driven a v8 audi. I dont need stage 3 power.

Default C5 S6's are great cars. However, they are not as mod-friendly as your current car.

The two main things to worry about with V8 C5's are the timing belt (though the belt itself rarely fails) and the trans. Other than that, they are bulletproof.

What are the differences between a v8 in a A6 and a V8 in a s6. Please don't tell me to STFA! LOL!

Default The only difference is 40 more Hp (diff cams, intake, etc.)

The S6 is only one-tenth of a second faster though, due to the extra weight of the Avant parts.

Default BTW, I forgot to mention that the S6 also has different final drive ratios.

3.5:1, compared to 2.83:1 in the regular 4.2.
