mattysupra Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 are you being serious? To be fair, when you learn how to drive a supra properly in the dry there is not a lot that will catch it down a lane. It takes very big balls to drive one properly and a lot of skill. The rs6 is really really easy to drive compared to the supra, so a less skilled driver in the rs6 will keep up with or wipe the floor with 99% of supra drivers out there. The supra is a real hand full to drive quick around bends but possible. I have had a few sideways moments at well over 100mph over the years. The biggest problem i found with the supra is that the breaks can not keep up with how hard i can drive it. Even with uk spec callipers and trick disc's + pads. The rs6 really is the dogs bollocks tho. I am well and truly impressed with it. The best bit is that you sit with the steering on half a lock at a junction in the wet, then you floor it! The car does not push the front end or the back end does not kick out either. You just take off and by the time you have turned the steering straight your doing 60+mph. Its almost boring. Apart from the fact your sat there thinking ' how the hell does it grip 10x better in the wet, than the supra can in the dry ?? ' Its wrong and should not be possible!

dangerous brain Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'd have one if I had that sort of money. But like anything its not just buying the car its running the bugger as well. I bet that car eats more cash every day than a supra does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s crane Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Ive driven my nephews s reg rs6, loved the handling but was not impressed with auto box with the paddles as it seemed as if it took for ever to change gear and felt like it was holding back on power as not to light up the tyres in sport mode.You will notice the extra petrol lovely car for the wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first rs6 came out 2002. Also the paddle shift is the fastest changing auto box i have ever driven. In fact i was seeing how long it takes to jump 2-3 gears at a time and it changes as fast as you can tap the paddles. I think you must be thinking of the old rs4 ( 2.7 twin turbo ) ??? The rs6 is a 4.2 twin turbo. And your correct about the fuel. I thought the supra was bad! Tripple it Its ridiculess ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripple it Its ridiculess !It was a RS6 4.2 twin turbo, it may of had a private plate, he part exchanged his 911 for it,A very nice car,As for the gear changes it seemed as if it slowly gave you the power back after changing gear. Just phoned my son he said the number plate started with a s but its a 53 reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattysupra Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 What time did 1 do around donington? i dont know. I didn't ask. I was still in shock at the fact a standard rs4 had just blew my doors off around the bends. Come to think of it, the skyline and evo boys was just as shocked as me and it became the talk of the day!
