Howdy, First post here.
Long story short, I am a lifelong car guy, had 25+ cars in my life, most of which were highly modded. I was that guy that would daily a twin disk on slicks lol Sadly life got in the way and been 100% out of the car scene for over 10 years.
I have always really liked the idea of the RS7, checks a lot of boxes for this stage of my life. Just not sure how it is to actually live with.
I am looking for a comfortable/luxury daily driver that will scratch that itch for speed when not hauling the family.
So my questions:
1: What issues do I need to watch out for? (already know about the oil filter)
2: how is reliability overall?
3: I will be modding/upgrading the car. What are the limitations/weak links of the drivetrain?
4: How much power can these make reliability with Meth/E85? Any and all upgrades are on the table, but not gonna sink $100k into mods either. Looking for more then the basic tune though.
5: Should I consider another car instead of the RS7? E63 AMG? Q50? Panorama?
Long term goals would be great get into the 9's in a daily derivable and reliable setup, although mid 10's would still be acceptable.
Thanks for any tips
