If the axle that's at the FRONT of the car was referred by you as the FRONT AXLES, then I assume you are trying to say the engine at the BACK of the FRONT axle

The biggest shortcoming of Quattro is that it makes the car very nose heavy. In order to drive the front wheels, the whole V8 must be placed in front of the front axle. Behind it is clutch and differential and then transmission. Open the bonnet and you will see how forward the engine is placed. More weight at the nose results in more nose dive under braking and rise during acceleration, also unresponsive steering and understeer at the limit.

Out Of The Three I've Only Ever Driven An E60 M5 So I Vote For That, But I've Drive An E55 Before. Besides The BMW Is The Only Car That Isn't Auto

I thought the RS6 was 'Tiptronic' auto only, with no manual option?

E63 AMG, It's the merc that compares with the others.

It isn't unless you buy one, go to MTM and ask them to do the conversion with a reinforced RS4 gearbox.

My mistake, I thought the DSG box was also available

No the first Audi to feature a DSG is the new TT.

NO. IIRC it's the old TT, around 2004 when the GTi MKV started selling as well.

Negatory.

Tiptronic only because at the time VAG didn't have a manual transmission that could handle the power whilst meeting the price point, the Porsche 996TT manual could have been beefed up but that would cost well over $20,000 and according to my dad a replacement for his tip is about $12,500, so that would've raised the list price considerably.

I'm please with how UCP feels on this comparison.

Actually, you're right. It was the old 3.2 quattro that had it.

[Waugh-terfall]

Old TT 3.2 had DSG, then it appeared in the new Golf, Audi A3 and Seat Leon.
