I wonder what will come standard on the RS6, will it be Conti Sport Contacts or Dunlop as the norm with Audis or will it be P Zero Corsa or PS2s. Unless it the latter I doubt even the RS6 will have it's chassis setup for them.

P.S. Notice how little a difference it made over the M5 on the short circuit, this points to the M5 having the better chassis of the two in my opinion.
Hi footie,

Horsepower aside, it is the matching of the tyres with the chassis. One is not independent of the other if you want to get the best out of the combination. That is the wonder of the E46 M3 CSL.
