Got lucky - drove a Audi RS 6 today

Watch out for them is all I can say.
450hp AWD family 4 door
My kind of family car.

A friend bought a RS 6 and let me drive it today. It is still very new, only 270 miles so I kept it reasonable and stayed below 5000 rpm. It's got some fantastic grunt down low and handles very well. The brembo hauled it down witth ease. $88k is too rich for my blood but it was fun while it lasted

Very sweet ride. Love to own one some day. All that and AWD too. Major traction for the street.

Damn, I didn't even know they were out yet. I read about them in the shootout with the new E55, M5, and the S-Type R (all nice, quick rides to me). I'm a huge fan of German performance cars like that. Needless to say I'm jealous you got to drive it. Nothing compares to a sub 13 sec. car with all that luxury and amenities. Your friend has good taste.

nice car... but complaints of quality in the current Audi lineup (given the price there should be fewer problems)
