What a morning!!! I need to go find myself an RS6.
Corey from quattronics took me out in their REVO'd RS6, if I can quote Nekrum's first comment "wow, f**k, double f**k, warp factor 10" but make that warp factor 15!!!
The car is running no gearbox map at present and does not hunt up and down at all, Corey said that he is thinking of producing a gearbox map to compliment the REVO software as his only complaint on the gearbox is it's inability to go into 4th or 5th below 40mph when in Sport of paddle mode but other than that he cannot complain about the gearbox.

I am now convinced that I want (no, need!!!) an RS6...

Nekrum my accountant is not going to like you at all!!!
So you drove the car Modok? Trust me (Ive owned one and you only need to look on RS246.com for the a ton postings on this), the car will behave alot better if the remap on the box is also done.

Photos in that Autocar article were taken 10 feet away from where the RS6 photo'd earlier was parked wink

And guess who got roped into helping out with the words and photos? Absolutely filthy day for it. Any chance you could scan the article? They never bothered to send me a copy frown

Getting the gearbox map done is a must , I've had my rs6 for 2 1/2 years . I see 3 or 4 a week for every type of service/ modification.

They are a great value for money practical super car . If you don't get a good one you'll spend 5-6k getting it right. Be very carefull....
