My lovely WRX03 PPP has gone, for a few reasons:
1. The seats were hurting my back.
2. Every man and his dog wanted a race when I was trying to make progress.
3. The performance was never that good above 70, but combine a hot day and air-con and I'm sure a diesel Mondeo could keep up!


So, I picked this up recently












444 BHP, 4.2 litre V8 twin turbo.

One year old, Full leather electrically adjustable and heated seats, sat nav, TV, 6 CD changer with Bose sound system, electric folding/dimming mirrors, electrically adjustable steering wheel, 19" wheels... and lots of other nice touches

WHEN it gets remapped it will have a power to weight ratio the same as the 'turbo. Abt can chip it to 505 BHP AND keep the warrantee intact with Audi UK!



I miss the chuckability of the scoob, but I think this suits my holiday driving style better. Looking forward to the first long trip - South of France here we come!

I may also remove the badges and replace them with "1.9TDi"

Who's to say you haven't already removed the 1.9TDi badges and fitted RS 6 ones

Lovely car though, my sort of performance car these days

good choice, i think i may end up with an RS4 avant next too...shame

I'd love one of those, but I'm way too tight to buy one. The V8 Audi's at Le Mans this year made an ungodly sound at full chat.

sainge

An excellent choice of cars.

Id love one of these too

ScooBStu

Is that your porsche too - Bloody rich git. Both nice cars.

turboman786

Superb choice of car...I remeber having a tussle with one in my (then) e36 m3 evo......Ive never been so beaten before, he simply wiped the floor, and left me for dust!

Bet it cost a bit though....!

my dads mate had one, all i can say is what a car, he's recently tested a load of cars and reckons nothing compares to the RS6, but he also had loads of people try racing him like you get in the scoob, I think a lot of people know what the RS6 is capable of so your rear view mirror will always get the odd Nova or corsa trying it on.

GCollier

Good choice

I also have an RS6 avant. It's the best all round car I've ever owned and the perfect companion for any journey, long or short whatever the weather.

You'll be pleased to know that your posts (here and RS246) helped in the decision!
Thanks!

Respect man, thats one nice motor. Whats the MPG like?

Jiggerypokery

The what?!! I'm glad you didn't call it "fuel economy", as the e-word sticks in my throat now. I've been enjoying the performance for the 200 or so miles I've had it so far, and the trip computer is showing just over 15 MPG.
Not bad

Jiggerypokery (kick-down addict)

fastfrank

lol, well thats not to bad for that kind of performance. I was expecting like 5MPG.

If funds would permit I'd sure like one of those one dayonder2: . I bet they sound awesome with an aftermarket exhaust system fitted - mind you saw a red one at Oulton park acting as the pace car for the BSB and that sounded fruity.

very i want one now

Turbohot

Sorry but gotta say Audis arent great looking cars,no matter how well they perform and no matter how gyzmo-equipped they are inside.Apart from AudiUR/WR head turner and their historical performance good few yrs ago,i dont remember any Audi including toy TT
Apart from that,They are ridiculously overpriced for what they are.Devaluation is about 60% as Jeremy Clarkeson said last year.
Still, nice car! I wouldnt have one!Too plain looking plane
BTW,I have 3 Audis in my household( Mine is good old "slow" scooby tho ) so please know i aint having a go.

zakk

When you return my RS6, Jiggerypokery, can you make sure you fill the tank please?! Seriously mate well done, you have great taste and wealth apparently (!) Simply: my My Dream car..The best all round car there is as far as I am concerened, theres nothing that this car hasnt got that I want.

Very nice mate Will have to take me out for a spin in that one too, still not quite recovered from the porker experience

I'm surprise the Laguna didn't get in on the photo action

Jiggerypokery

I wasn't going to mention it! It does increase the driveway total to 959BHP though!

Some of your memorable quotes from the turbo blast:
Accellerating down a slip road:
"My ears have just popped..."

Going over a small bump at full throttle:
"I thought we were going to take off there!"

LOL, its still a vivid memory Certainly some beautiful engineering on the drive now Renault aside

I'm going to bookmark this thread and see how long it takes before the next upgrade comes along

Hope you are both well, enjoy the beasts

Speak soon,

Stunning performance, i have only ever been in one other car that was

Top car mate.
Personaly, I love fast Audi's. Much better than BMW's or Merc's.
My old mans getting the new RS4 in November. Can't wait.

Perfect compromise estate car for things like tip runs

You can fit plenty of PC Monitors in the back of that!

Did you PX the Scoob, or sell it private?

Jiggerypokery

The fastest monitor mover in the east!
I had to throw out half of the junk in the garage to find 40cm more for this beast.

I gave the scoob back to the dealer, as they gave me more than the Audi dealer was offering. The time between deciding to get the RS6 and actually getting it was quite short, so I was keen to take the easiest route when selling the scoob.
