Went out a run in the RS today and got it well and truly bug splattered.
Followed my mate in his BMW M140i. His car isn’t quite standard and produced higher than stock on the rollers (380hp) prior to his map, full Remus exhaust and intake. With him running closer to 460hp, it was inevitably a fair bit quicker on the straights especially with his fancy dct box. The RS more than held its own in the twisty’s.
The car was absolutely epic on a few of the B roads and just ate up the hairpins. It’s the first run I’ve done since changing from my RS4 in January and I was really impressed with how well the car handled. For anyone in Scotland there are some really epic roads around the Trossachs. One in particular is the B827 between Bravo and Comtie. The car really came into its own on this road.
Never got a photo of the 2 cars together but took a few of the scenery and a couple of the RS on the return journey home. I’ll post them below
Cheers
