P.S.

Even you T Bone have to admit that pound for pound, dollar for dollar, if you spent the same amount of money in the RS6 you would have given a hp lift of a bare minimum of 60hp and that would have meant 640hp which would have easily beaten this M5.

The M5 driver is TVAS from M5board. Dunno about the Audi driver but he may be a member of www.teabagged.com

The M5 guy spent $2000 or less. The biggest gains from the charcoal filter removal and the RPI scoops.

I would agree a tune on a turbo car would yield bigger results....as in any naturally aspirated vs FI car.
