Since this is a versus section I’ll give you some thoughts against the CS's but it’s not apples to apples of course.
And of course, large shout out to r33_RGSport aka Ben and team at RG for modding it and sourcing the parts so damn fast. Again, being treated not as a number but as a valued customer. And while he loves BMW, he has done work on this, my Porsche, Plaid, Z06, GT63, R8, and few other non M's. If you all are in SoCal, take the drive to his shop and get stuff done with great service, strong pricing, and he will buy you McDonalds.
Basic Mods all via RG:
Tint 35% Ceramic
12mm spacers square
KW HAS (30mm drop front 25mm rear)
AWE Full Catback Exhaust
RaceChip Piggy (50 whp 60 wtq)
RaceChip XLR Throttle Adjuster
Thoughts against the CS's (doesnt matter which one)
Driving: The CS's are almost 950 lbs lighter if not more so there's that. The RS hides the weight but doesnt eliminate it. The RWS helps and the new differential keeps the tq split reasonably to the rear as I plow into and out of turns but its never gonna be that dancing car. The RS steering is fairly on point and little to no Quattro understeer and I actually like it equally to the CS programming here. Good [...]

Love that wagon! Incredible stable, Vic. The G99 will never be as sexy as the RS6.. I say this as I contemplate a G99 that’s sitting on the showroom with my name on it. Interesting to hear how much you like the interior in the Audi—the biggest place the G99 is lacking (pun intended). Enjoy
