I got a few more good runs in the car yesterday via roads Ive driven with all my prior cars. All I can say is im impressed all too much about how this car feels. Dare I say it feels as good today compared to current rivals as my E39 M5 felt back 15 years ago when I first got that car (damnnn). The steering feels really good albeit just a bit artificial but thats ok, its not a Porsche GT car nor is it trying to feel like one. The 4WD system really is quite unintrusive. I feel the pulls up into 130+ mph comes very easy on roads Ive traveled before. No wonder this car puts up the rolling numbers; its not losing as much power to the ground with its 4Matic + system. I really think with a tune this car runs very low 130's in the quarters. Its already at 11.2/11.3 car stock so the tune will bring it over the top. When I line it up side to side with the RS7 it does look less sleek as the Sportback profile of the RS7 runs a lower roof line but thankfully to me, the Night Black Magno paint makes it still look very mean along with the drop. So far the CCB's are just fine, I bedded them right away with heavier stops and speeds up and down with braking to match which Ive done with all my CCB's. I dont hear any squeaks... yet. So more driving to come; oh Im sure the Michelin 4S tires do not hurt the handling cause here. Im so glad for that big chunk of metal.
