2021 RS6 vs 2020 AMG E63s

Crazy the gains you can make from a simple flash. I wonder how reliable it is.

I have a test drive booked next Tuesday for the RS6.

I’m still undecided.

Prefer Audi.

Which one can you paint the brake calipers black on easiest?

For last ~ 5 year, Audi's reliability rating is better than BMW/Mercedes .. of course, no one buys them and look at how "reliable" they are .. or just buy a Corolla.

The E63S is a touch quicker, (from other reviews too) but the Resale value or "RS" is usually better than "AMG", but we are talking $150K ish here, just go for whatever brand you prefer, I somehow like the Look and the interior of the RS6 more. :)

At the end of the day, way more people will buy the RSQ8 and the GLE 63S ...

I agree, the GLE 63s is much more practical.

Awesome wagons but this quote around the 8:00 minute mark will help anyone decide what to buy.....

“It’s so fast, it’s like Hellcat levels of intensity.”

I’d take the Mercedes personally.

What about the last generation of TTV8 audis and their exploding turbos? Absolute joke on 100k + cars to be that bad.

That Audi is sick and looks nicer than the E63 to me, but based on audis garbage turbo v8's id get the merc

Pick whichever one you can put the smallest wheels on so you can maximize sidewall. Lord knows how many pothole threads we’ll see from you with the stock tires on either of those cars.

Or, just figure out whatever the BMW competitor is, buy that and live with atrocious run-flat tires.

Its weight transfer from a hard drag launch. Pretty normal for cars rear to squat and the fronts to lift in that instance. So before the front wheels lift off the ground the front suspension unloads. Weight transfer 101.

I thought this was originally a car forum?
