Welcome
Did like the C6 RS6
Picked up my Macan Turbo...

The power/performance thing is interesting. One of my previous cars had a 4.7v8 engine with 420 bhp and weighed 1600kg. The Macan S i have on order has a 2.9v6, weighs nearly 2000kg and only has 375 bhp, and yet the (quoted) 0-60 time is exactly the same. Go figure. ( top end is slower though, by nearly 20mph)
Take it your RS hadn't been to MRC for a map then?
I liked it too. It felt special - it was like a factory hot rod! But it was very expensive to run... new disks and pads close to £3K, DRC pipe replacement all round, new suspension bushing all round during my ownership. Great car, we won't see the like again... which is why I had it... the same reason I bough the GR Yaris...

Well done. When I was placing my order I was sat at the table next to it and whilst the salesman was doing the usual faffing around for 10 mins went and sat in it. I thought it was brand new! Only when I got out and walked around it did I see the price and year. I thought, if mine was as tight after 4 years I will be very happy.
