EVO 997.2 Turbo vs R8 V10 vs GT-R

Noted your engine upgrade on your 911 turbo. Wondered if you've thought about anything for the RS6 yet. Anyway, guess this is off topic.

Nope, because there will be less of them [:)] in fact try getting a manual 997.1 and see what a small choice of cars there is.

Mine's a manual (997.2 turbo) awaiting collection. Wasn't too bothered about it being PDK or not. If the model is later standard with PDK and the manual's a no cost optiuon choice would've been PDK then.

Main car is a V10 RS6 Avant with DSG and that's ok but wanted the Porsche to be different.

How did you manage that?? RS6's don't come with a dual-clutch option (aka DSG), only a single clutch Tiptronic

Alex, you're right, I'm not. I meant tiptronic not DSG. Getting muddled.

Nah, 580PS is plenty for a 2 tonne car - especially if the wife or dog is in the car. If I want more g-forces I just reach for my other set of keys and go off for some fun on my own [:D] The RS6 is perfect apart from 2 things: under 20mpg and over 2 tonnes. They are the only 2 things I would change about it.
 
I get around 12 to 15 mpg in the RS6.

Most of the journeys are shortish.

Of all the quick barges it's the best though. I'm staying with 580 too.

I'm waiting to collect the 911 Turbo but it's still like this:-

Going wayyyy off topic here (sorry OP) but if I pop to the local shop and back, I get single figure mpg without any hard acceleration!!

Yeh, you can't have much 911 fun with all this snow - mine has 4 foot of snow in front of it's garage door where it has slid off the roof!
