Taka, get the MTM gearbox chip for RS6, you'd be surprised ..... you can
hustle the 2 ton whale through the corners .... now, who would leave it in
Tip mode anyway?

Paul-
RS6s are going from $54.5-59k at auction, only 4 sold since November,
mileage ranges from 41k to 12k. In other words, it's a total crapshoot.

Retail is going to be approx $63k.

Is there a sport package for the RS6?!?

I hope you like slushboxes- the gearbox lets the car down. It doesn't allow
for enough engine braking if you're trying to hustle the car through the
corners. The transmission doesn't shift fast enough either. Great car for
covering long distances- if you want to pass someone, there are very few
cars in the road that can keep you from passing them.

At least Pizzo won't be able to catch you on I-84 if you're in a RS6.
