S6/S7 vs F10 M5
So, I didn't see anything stating you can't reference the competition's forums, so please forgive me if I missed it. Yes, the old ask for forgiveness rather than permission disclaimer.
Anyway, I was browsing through the Audi forum and ran across this thread regarding someone's tuned S6 (I think) vs. stock F10 M5. I don't know what's funnier, the discussion about the actual run against the M5 or the downright hate of BMW by a couple of those guys. There's one guy who speaks reasonably throughout the thread, but he's definitely in the minority. Here's the link: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-M5-last-night

I looked at an S6 and while it was nice, I couldn't get past the staid, lackluster external appearance. Plus, if memory serves, they don't lease very well.
They do make a good point about off the line traction and outstanding and very tune friendly engines. And Audi does have a great assortment of vehicles. Seems like a pretty good group of car enthusiasts at the forum with a healthy dose of rivalry! Dave |

I had an APR Stage 2 S6 and it was a very fun car to drive; light, nimble and AWD provides amazing traction. A very different car when compared to the M5 on many different levels; both great in their own right.

The HP ratings for the Audi are underrated from the factory too. But they are right, off the line, we have no chance. It will be sideways on full throttle and that is why the AWD M5 will be a more useable and fun M5 because we can get most of the power to the ground.

I guess those Audi guys will be eating their words when the F90 M5 comes out with ///MxDrive. Lol!
