Yup. Of course, it'll probably cost more than a Z06, much less a standard model C6.

More than a Z06? Ha! Probably $100K+ is my guess.

Guaranteed that thing will outprice a Z06. Hell the last one new cost more than a new Z06 now. I think the C5 RS6 cost $85k new. This C6 RS6 will be $95 at least, I think. But hey, now we can see what a C6 (Chevy) does against a C6 (Audi)! I wish Audi had kept the silver door moldings to signify the RS/S models, like the B6 S4 had. I thought that was a nice touch.

OT: Anyone ever consider that if cars were still measured for gross HP, this Audi would probably be pushing 700? Interesting to think about...

Why are you guys "comparing" a Z06 to an Audi wagon?

Because QUIKAG has always wanted a C6/Z06 and plans (planned) to get one. So, I brought it up based on price point, namely, the RS6 is going to be more expensive than even a Z06, which is about as expensive as he had planned to ever go (for now).
