Had this a week now. Like it so far. Very much more modern than the B5 RS4 which is hardly surprising. What is surprising is how well the adjustable DRC works - comfy in town and firm when you want to press on. Has all the toys you could ever need - and a BIG boot - hooray, no more endless jigsaw puzzle solving trying to get all the gear in for a family of five!!
Plans are to remap it before the 30-130 day, perhaps a set of option 19" 10 spoke wheels for more stealth, and then off to the pyrenees at Easter
Some pics below - some carbon indulgence courtesy of mtm included

Sportecs would look EPIC on a C6 as long as they are 20"s minimum.
19's look tiny on them. |
