Also, throttle control should be basic knowledge for that kinda surface.

#

You don't just floor it in the hopes of going up.

#

To be fair, I'm far off in terms of off-road knowledge. All I know is if I would've been that guy, I would've at least tried to go up slow.

#

Unless of course the tire wouldn't do its job, in which case you can't do much about it than "fixing" the tire.

Someone said that the EMP claw in Fast and Furious which drains the car's electronics and eventually deactivate the car upon latching on a car body or panel is unrealistic. Is it true?

Yes, increased contact area and it often molds in the crevices of rough terrain

Idk what color that is but I just go buy the basic blue, green, yellow, purple lol

#

this is how the Dakar should be driven

heady swift
#

a simple film will do

#

but any other environment, especially with snow, sand, dust, gravel

#

you'd need a very expensive protective coating and be very selective with when or where to drive

heady swift
#

it would crumble under heavy terrain

#

insead of flat sand surfaces

#

any enduro bike or pajero will be more useful

#

the car's also filled with luxury tech

#

there's a reason why rallying cars are extremely bareboned

onyx rivet
kind osprey
#

People who collect them not to drive them are the losers who don't enjoy their stuff I feel

#

If you buy a supercar and don't even put like 1000-1500 miles a year on it, why own it

#

Only excuse is if you have like 30 cars

#

It could be difficult to drive them all that much

onyx rivet
#

At the same time they might also like the look of cars just sitting there

#

Im against that though

kind osprey
#

Tbf I would be afraid to drive a $20,000,000 irreplaceable classic car, I'm not insane. But if I have money like that I could probably close off a local road and hire people to watch the area

#

Never have another random car near it during the drive

onyx rivet
#

Because im sure those who do have that much money lying about ccan, but dont

kind osprey
#

Jay leno has a good philosophy on it. If he has a very rare expensive basically irreplaceable vehicle he takes out, he drives it without a destination to be at and rarely parks it

#

He'll never take his Mclaren f1 to some appointment he is late to etc

onyx rivet
#

I'll have to admit i havnt seen his full collection but from what i've seen they mostly fit that category as expensive irrrepacbles

#

That also comes to Jay Leno being a good guy and following his own philosophy

#

Its a shame that many other people with similar sort of garage dont think a similar way

it's like 5k to rent for a day

fiery talon

only 5k.

not an impossible amount for someone who really wants to and has a decent job

#

i personally would not be paying that much to rent a car like this. would spend it on sm else.

#

i wouldnt have the balls to be driving that here hell no

kind osprey
#

What is 5k a day to rent?

#

That isn't a real car they aren't going to let strangers rent it for some ridiculous amount unless you are talking about another car

hybrid charm
kind osprey
#

I know it is

#

What car is @short lion saying you could rent though I'm confused

hybrid charm
kind osprey
#

Same

#

One: no company would ever let you rent concepts and non production cars just to drive on the street for any amount.
Two: It would be a hell of a lot more than $5000

fiery talon
#

even if they did i could never have the balls to be driving that on the road. fuck no.

#

5k is wayy too cheap even for rent for a car like that. i guess u needa make more sense next time.

kind osprey
#

I've rented track cars before, I would never rent a luxury car that is so useless

fiery talon
#

same.

#

id spent the money on something else

#

tf am i gonna do with a car for 1 day?

hybrid charm
#

I don't hate renting but it's something I found useless cuz if you're a car guy you'll be attached to the car and leaving the key should be heartbreaking

fiery talon
#

its like spending 5k on steak.

hybrid charm
#

If I really am desperate I would rent only 1 car and only one. A Ferrari 812 Superfast

kind osprey
#

No renting allows you to actually get time in the car without having to commit hundreds of thousands of dollars

#

It's great but not something you should soend every dime on of course

fiery talon
#

if i have 5k to spend on a car for one day. i guess im rich so id just buy the car

hybrid charm
#

I have a relative who sometimes rent Audi RSs and shit and I'm low-key judging him cuz I find it useless

$5,000 a day would get you a Lamborghini aventador svj, or like a Ferrari f12 tdf

kind osprey

One of Ferraris best cars

#

Goes for about $1.2 to $1.8

fiery talon

1.2$? i can afford that

$5000 a day makes sense for a more than a million dollar car

kind osprey

id spend that much on my audi. just me tho

hybrid charm

#

Probably more

#

Like 3-4

#

Some Huracans rent for $1700 a day

#

It's about location

hybrid charm
#

Okay. I ask but I would never, 3-4k spent for less than 24h of pleasure is crazy

kind osprey
#

Say you are making $30 an hour. $3000 would be way too much but to a guy making $750 an hour it's the same as you soending a few hundred bucks on a special tourist attraction

#

Renting a car as high up as an 812 isn't a normal activity

#

The security deposit alone is $10,000

fiery talon
#

yep only someone "above average or rich" would do that

kind osprey
#

So you have to have that down plus the days pay

hybrid charm
#

Istg people are legit letting their cars as a security deposit to rentals just for a day in a RS6 KEKW

fiery talon
#

renting a rs6 for a day is crazy

kind osprey

The rs6 is great but I wouldn't rent such a normal car

fiery talon

even for a MTM rs6

I've done a Huracan, 488 gtb, and a gt3rs

This video is about one of the most iconic Audi race car: the 90 Quattro IMSA GTO.

ive also read a Speedhunters article and said that with the aero covers, they can reduce the wing angle as well, so less drag with equal/larger amounts of downforce

Carbon aero discs supplement rear downforce and reduce drag for a higher top speed.

You could build a drag car that will smoke the 170 for $100,000. With $400,000 you could make something go 300mph in the time is takes to crack a skull

it won't be as reliable

This guy explains it a lot better than I would currently

Stop spewing crud, and start gitting gud. Anyone with a functioning set of eyes, and basic elementary ability to recognize shapes, has the capability to realize the C8 does not have Camaro Lights, nor is it remotely shaped like a Ferrari. It's a shame I have to actually make this video to make those individuals harness the ability to properly u...

I'd probably choose one over an Urus tbh

onyx rivet
#

i would choose a shit tonne amount of cars over a Urus too

kind osprey
#

making them pretty comparable

#

especially if you take an rs6 and tune it to the same power as a Urus

onyx rivet
#

makes sense actually, just never decided to look into it

kind osprey
#

but I know you can easily tune an rs6 to have as much if not more power than an Urus

#

reliably

#

i'd rather have an rs6 with the same power output as an Urus than an Urus

#

The Urus is like $100,000 more and it too flashy and high off the ground

onyx rivet
#

plus wagons are just cooler

sage roost
#

Id pick the RS6 over a urus or RSQ8 in a heartbeat

#

wagons are simply better

what kina tuning,

kind osprey

The engine is detuned from factory

So you are just un doing it

Hmm there’s the RS6 performance

but that just has bigger turbos

I'm still in love with this RS6 sedan, Audi should kept producing a sedan version of the RS6 fr

steady cove
#

Rs6s are a bad car overall

#

The maintenance costs are high, the car itself is expensive, and it lacks the power that other cars in its price range typically offer.

#

For the price of an rs6 you could buy a redeye with like 800hp

#

Almost double

#

Double it and give it to the nest person

#

You could nearly purchase two Giulia Quadrifoglio models for the cost of a single RS6, despite both offering similar power.

steady cove
#

Im so sad kia stopped making the stingers

sage roost
#

and they’re not comparable tbh

hybrid charm
#

I don't even think a Redeye has anything else to offer other than 800hp (only on special occasions btw)

sage roost
#

it’s like saying why buy a Porsche GT3 when you can buy a GT500 or something

#

For less than half the price

hybrid charm
#

A truly bad car according to its price could be any 90s GT-Rs or Supras

dim mango
steady cove
#

i just said that it had a horrible price lmfao

#

which is true

#

and other cars around that same price have something going for the other than beeing an audi and having a better engine compared to the inferior models

hybrid charm
steady cove
#

120k to 160k

#

depends

hybrid charm
#

Lemme check rq

steady cove
#

i think the avant model is like 150k

#

or 160

#

im talking about the new models not the old ones

#

bcs the old ones are probably cheaper if bought 2nd hand

hybrid charm
#

Yeah in my country they are sold new for around 150k

#

For 150k I'd rather have this but it's only about taste

steady cove
#

the thing is that its not only audi that does this

#

other german (mainly) brands do this aswell

#

thats also why these cars are rarely seen

#

Hellcat redeyes are not half the price, and they can't be compared to an rs6 avant from most standpoints they are cars with two completely different purposes

#

Horsepower is absolutely not everything

#

That's the most obvious point here

kind osprey
#

That's also a good one

#

A lot goes into a price of a car

#

Dodges are cheap because they are $30,000 cars with a big engine

sage roost
#

That’s like

#

Why buy an M3 CS

#

when you can buy a charger hellcat

hybrid charm
steady cove
steady cove
steady cove
#

also the redeye is cheaper by like 15k

sage roost
#

but the overall quality is much cheaper

#

only thing the redeye has going for it is the engine

steady cove
#

thats just american cars in general

sage roost
#

…which is why I’d pick the RS6 instead

kind osprey
#

That is like saying every tool in your toolkit does the same thing because they are all made out of metal..

#

A Jeep wrangler has a very different purpose than a Lotus Elise

kind osprey
#

The basic rule of car enthusiasts

Less weight >>> more power

#

If you don't focus on the important things first, you'll just have a piece of shit with 1000hp that can't move right

steady cove
#

every car has a purpose of going from a to b

#

wrenches cant do that

steady cove
#

Those cars are also like way more expensive that any hellcat

#

So its given they are faster

#

Ur comparing having a car thats 2x the price of another and it beeing faster with two cars of the same price

#

Which imo doesnt make much sense

#

Also if you want to compare it to something different like an alfa quadrifoglio, the difference gets even bigger

#

With it having 70hp less and a faster time on the nurburgring

#

And the interior is nice aswell 😏

#

AND IT COSTS ALMOST HALF THE PRICE

dim mango
steady cove
#

Well for that price range the rs6 is really only a good "get from a to b" car, not anything else

dim mango
steady cove
#

I mean we got cheaper cars that are better than it in every aspect

#

Please read what i wrote

#

Damn ur so wrong

#

He said gt3 rs not gt4

#

Also im talking about the alfa romeo quadrifoglio not the gt3rs

dim mango
#

yeah mb

kind osprey
#

Cars can have very different purposes

steady cove
#

Yeah but the rs6 doesnt excel in any of them to the point where its justified its price point

#

Thats what i mean

kind osprey
#

Cars are priced the way they are for a reason

steady cove
kind osprey
steady cove
#

Yeah but the rs6 avant costs way more than those aswell

#

You can buy a dodge acr for less than an avant and it will be faster around a track

kind osprey
#

They really have no matter comparisons

steady cove
#

Well i just gave the hellcat as an example

#

Not that it had to be that car

#

I just said that there are wayyyy better cars for the money

kind osprey
#

Old ones sure, but old ones aren't as fast or well averse for handling

steady cove
#

Well

#

The old acrs hold records

kind osprey
#

These are all $140,000 cars

steady cove
#

And im willing to bet that any acr does a better time on the nurb compared to the most recent rs6 avant even

kind osprey
#

New ones do

steady cove
#

Old ones probably do too

#

How much doesnt the rs6 avant do

kind osprey
#

The comparable competition to the rs6/rs7 cost the same amount if not more

#

Audi is the cheaper of the three most of the time

sage roost
#

just not fair

#

compare it to the cars similar in its class

#

like what epik mentioned

kind osprey
#

It was a tangent

steady cove
#

The oldest acr from 1999 does 8 minutes and 10 seconds the rs6 avant does 8 minutes and 9 seconds

#

Wild

#

Slow ahh car

kind osprey
#

They are both slow

steady cove
#

Yeah

kind osprey
#

But one is a purpose built track car

steady cove
#

But one is from 2024 and the other is from 1999

kind osprey
#

The other is a new wagon

steady cove
#

Well

steady cove
#

Whats the rs6s purpose then

kind osprey
#

Wagons aren't held to track car and supercar standards

sage roost
#

how about we compare the Ferrari F50

It won't beat a Huracan

But it'll beat any other wagon stock

kind osprey
#

But few can exist

#

Than 150k?

#

Lmfao

kind osprey
#

You want more than 640hp inside german luxury quality and expect a reasonable price?

steady cove
#

Isnt that what you look for when buying a car

#

Like if its more expensive than average atleast be better

kind osprey
#

Because it is better

steady cove
#

Its not tho?

sage roost
steady cove
#

No idea

sage roost
#

there you go

kind osprey
#

What is a better station wagon than an rs6 avant. Lamborghini Urus doesn't count

steady cove
#

Im p sure there are tho

kind osprey
#

Where

sage roost
#

you answered yourself tbh

steady cove
#

A urus isnt even a wagon

#

Its a whole suv

#

Silly

sage roost
#

there isn’t a better wagon than an RS6

#

just saying

kind osprey
#

If they were better they would be very, very expensive. The only thing better than German engineering and interior quality is when you mix it with bespoke stuff like Zagato

#

Zagatos wagon shooting brake is $899,000

#

But it indeed is faster

#

Lol

kind osprey
#

The rs6 is de tuned

#

You could make the rs6 avant have equivalent power to the urus in about 10 minutes

#

Maybe less

#

It voids the warranty but it will be fast as fuck

steady cove
#

A quick search told me that the Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo is faster and better and cheaper

sage roost
#

you can make it have equal power with a usb stick

steady cove
#

And its a porsche wooo

kind osprey
steady cove
#

Yeah it doesnt

#

It starts at 146k tho

kind osprey
#

So it starts more than an rs6 avant maxxed out in options

steady cove
#

Just like the audi rs6 avant starts at 150k it also doesnt leave a stand at less than 160k

kind osprey
#

Rs6 avants are hard to get to $150k msrp

#

Porsche on the other hand

#

They can have $60,000 in options alone

#

And these two cars probably have the same engine

#

Given the fact that Porsche and Audi are closer than siblings

sage roost
#

There’s also the performance version of the RS6/7

steady cove
#

750hp ☠️

#

Wild

#

Porsche wilding these days

sage roost
#

With like 630 horsepower

kind osprey
#

Rs6/Urus/q8rs v8 can easily get 750

#

I wouldn't do that though

#

I think 640 is good for that engine

#

More and issues erupt

Theres also the taycan

steady cove
kind osprey
#

They don't go over $170

steady cove

The topest one

kind osprey
#

For a maxxed out turbo wagon the taycan can't be 200k

#

Unless they raised it this year

#

For 2024

#

Which would be a $35000 jump

#

Sounds unlikely

@hybrid charm I prefer the lc500 interior tbh looks more comfortable to be inside, M8 is pretty basic imo

Basically
lc500: better exterior + interior + special
M8: faster + most likely handles and drives better

#

If the lc was faster I'd pick it in a heartbeat

#

But the M8 is supercar fast

steady cove
#

It has to do with owner preferences

#

If you want a slightly more reliable and unique car pick the lc, if you want a better performer get the m8

hybrid charm

Yea is a hard choice lol

#

I want both

steady cove

I would pick the lc

Just bcs i like its uniqueness and its rare to see any lexus here in europe, much less an lc500
