Vic have you thought about adding a brabus touch to your car.

Never. Brabus, IMHO, is way too overpriced for what it brings to the table and I dont want to mess with the body of the car. Its just right for me.

Very nice. I may end up going this route also. Possibly looking at May euro delivery.

The AWD system is awesome, very unintrusive from a roll yet stellar grip from a dig and coming out of turns at throttle. I know a few that are driving this car around in the snow and they love it.

Vic,
Ok so now that you’ve had plenty of seat time in the Dark Knight Missle over the past few weeks, can you give a quick comparo of the E63S and your RS7? As in if you needed to pick one.... |

Test drove a E63S Wagon today. Impressive. Different than my X5M but looking at it since the new X5M won't be out when my lease is up. Dealer has offered MSRP. Not clear that they will budge and the offered numbers don't yet make sense.

Your edition 1 looks gorgeous. The simple yet tasteful mods makes a huge difference. Looks like it has the ceramic brakes. How do you like them so far? Any squealing?

We pulled this dyno stock on a chassis dyno... added the tune but ran out of time to get it pulled. Then I was out for the weekend so now its going back to my tuner and using a different shop that has time during the holiday pre week. We will reflash the car back to stock, dyno, then flash, then dyno again... I have only driven the car about 25 miles with the tune; its a fast mo fo but I want to see what the gains are from about 2500 rpm to 5k where the sweet spots are of driveability.

I do find the car when you hit 2nd or 3rd really hard the rear does slide out with all the traction controls in play. I have to get use to reacting to the cars movement. The RS with all that rubber on the ground it was very stable and difficult to oversteer unless you just threw it out there. Ferrari and Porsche looks will always be classic and stay update, and I do love the lines on the 458 move than most cars I have owned and driven. I was on the edge of getting a 488, but it does not sound like a 458. The 458 is a easy car to drive under 50, and the RS begs you to go triple digits. The Spider version is a step up in the sound factor because you hear that engine roar which is apart of the experience. I’m clearly satisfied with the purchase, and my Spyder Porsche manual which I will not sell keeps me tied to the Porsche feel which is in a league in its own in that category. |

I had the same "issues" with my 458... cold tire wheel spin at times. It went away rather quickly as I warmed up the tires but I remember some cold days where I was pulling a left and got just a bit too aggressive and felt the tires slipping a bit under me. Ill guess that you are not running the same level of grip that came with your RS (Sport Cup 2).
