Audi Quattro head says C7 Corvette Stingray performance is "no match for an RS6"
Granted, the RS6 does pump out 560hp/516lb-ft, but comparing a large station wagon costing £77,000 (about $124,000 USD) to a sleek sports car that will cost half of that is just comical.

I think that Audi is just ugly as all get out. I could care less if it's faster, cost more or people drool over it more than the Corvette.

The fact that he even compared the two just shows it's at least on their mind. It'll be faster with AWD 0-60 and maybe 1/4 mile, but braking, around the track will go to the Vette.

I owned a late model GTR as well. I had GMS is SoCal upgrade the turbos and do a tune. When it left AZ it had 400 AWD and it came back 625 AWDHP. The car was a blast to drive and created a pile of on lookers at every stop light and packing lot. I can honestly say its the best all around car I have ever owned but....it aint a Vette. For one it sounds like crap and the Vette sounds guturl. So for all the car I have had (not bragging just saying) My favorite car to drive is my Granatelli Twin Turbo'd 2011 GS Convert. Its not the fastest car I have ever had and not the best handling but its the best all around car I know of that does it all way more wrong than wrong. Now on to the arrogant Audi Idiot. Audi builds great cars. If you ever drive one you will be amazed just how solld they feel from a cheap entry level A4 to my 2012 Vette RS R8 V10. I purchased this car becuase it made me feel young and sounded incredible. Not like a reg V10 Audi or Lambo, the RS version exhuast is spectacular. For $240k it should be. Talk about buyers remorse - the car is no on par with my brother in laws new Vert 427 Vette for speed, not by a long shot. Top up at 80 mph the audi is better but 70k vs 249k better - NOPE. So Audis is awesome but not fast - they handle great but not the best. If you live in the snow then perhaps. I live in Scottsdale AZ. Its hot as hell 80% of the year so screw all the crap about snow and how well they perform The RS6 needs to focus on the E63, CTS-V, M5 and perhaps New Jag or A-Martin. Something tells me the CTS-V will eat the audis lunch. I also own a 2012 E63 with TT V8 Engine from Factory. I installed simple dealer legal "reflash" and ran 11.55 @ 121 in the heat with my wife in the car. If I had to do it all over again I would have not purchase the Merc. I love the car but it has no real personality So lets wrap this up. I am a whore I love all cars - But I am all about my Vettes

For $124,000 you can have TWO 2014 Stingrays, and mod them both to run circles around the silly Audi.
I ain't skeered.

Meh, please don't bring the ZR1 back for about ten to fifteen years. The Z06 can handle it. I'd like for something to stay somewhat rare. Of course, my opinion doesn't really matter.
