How much are kidneys going for?

 

[vi edit]

You catch my post a couple down...it beat out the M5 and E55 AMG in a C&D shootout.

 

[Atlantean]

Nice. As for the kidney thing, I will give you $1 for your kidneys.

Damn, that's expensive. One hell of a car, but I think I could "get by" with an M3 or Z06 and save about 30 grand.

I could get by with a 2004 max, a 200 shot of nitro, and smack this thing around the track and still have enough cash for a beautiful home theater system, a vacation, and one kid's college investment!

nice car, but i think i would still prefer an M5... they just look awesome

 

[vi edit]

Anyone know if they will have an Avant version of it?

Grocery getter from hell. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

My Nissan statement was a joke, but I don't think the thing is toooo overpriced. I guess it's more pricey than an M5 but it's also faster.

Way way way too much for a hi-po version of the normal 6... god that's a lot of money...


Still an f'n sweet car tho!!

 

[boi]

I'd rather get a used F355

It's faster, only because is Twin Turbo.
M5 pushing nearly 400 NA.

I think the E55 and M5 sound more appealing overall, but I would not kick an RS4 out of the garage for eating crackers . . .

 

OOOOOOOOO a wagon... nice.

Yeah, but the M5 can't EVEN compete in the torque category. Who cares how it gets its power, it's power nonetheless and the RS6 has oodles of it.

the m5 probably doesn't take to blowers very well

Probably not. Though they still get within 50bhp of a TWIN turbo setup.
Still impressive.

I'd drive em both.

RS6 Avant = Perfect daily driver

'Nuff said.

Just a hunch here....but I'm guessing that there is quite a bit of room for extra boost on the Audi. I'm sure the engine could take it, I just don't know how glassjawed the tranny is.

 

[bozack]

ouch....for that kind of money I am in a Porsche no questions asked...nice car though.

 

[imported_Mike]

me want.....

Not just from hell, the 7th layer of hell.

Love the car. I'd be fun to take it to the track and see what people say
