Audi RS7 vs RS6 - DRAG RACE

Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
It’s time for an Audi RS6 vs RS7 show down!!
Now, it’ll come as no surprise to you that these cars are very similar. Starting with the Audi RS6, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 which will produce 600hp and 800Nm. When it comes to the RS7… Well, it’s also powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 which can produce 600hp & 800Nm! They’ve both also got 8-speed automatic gearboxes, launch control and Quattro all-wheel drive.
So, they’re literally identical, apart from one stat - the weight! Whereas the RS7 weighs 2,065kg, the RS6 weighs slightly more at 2,075kg.
Clearly it’s all down to reaction times, so does Mat have what it takes? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

*Here is why the RS6 kicked down so slowly:* When you look at the tachometer you can see that 0.5 seconds before he kicked down the car went into 7th gear. And torque converters arent the best at changing up and then down so fast.

Torque converter doesnt change gears, valve body controls gears
