That looks like a fun test. When someone uses the phrase "hmmmm...." it actually means they're thinking about it. Stop thinking and do it!

My Turbo would still be faster though, so it's not like I need more power in my life

That has to be the stupidest line I've ever read

. I guess the RS6 is fast enough stock anyway....but it sure would be a fast(er) car if you did get some MTM work done!

Well I own 2 cars right now and between them I have access to 544+580=1124 horses. So if I upgraded the RS6 power then it wouldn't be like the acceleration was something new or extra compared to what else is in my stable! If I want 'faster' then it's my Porsche I should upgrade some more....

I have read this article. German mags are famous for such group test. Wow about the RUF RT12S and sorry that I have to post it in the Porsche thread, but LP670-4 SV is astonishing fast.

That`s unbelievable!

What a great comparison!

But I would have loved to see the Novitec Rosso Scuderia in that comparison...

anyway...great stuff and thanks for sharing!
