Audi RS6
I think Gibbo is missing the point. Road & Track(June '03) did a very good comparo between RS6, M5, Jag S-Type R, and MB E55 AMG. They did instumented "passing tests" at freeway speeds, where these cars really shine. For comparison in what they call the "slingshot factor", they also ran and recorded times for an Acura RSX TypeS(some people consider this a rival of 240sx). The numbers are as follows:
60-90mph, in seconds
RS6: 4.6Acura RSX Type S: 7.3
OUCH! The youth has been OWN3D by an old rich man in a sedan!(again)
Ask the Q45 owners about freeway kills....that's where these high dollar sedans beat everybody...and look good doing it.

German cars are meant to have a high top end. . and are meant to be comfortable while riding at 150 mph -

Unfortunately, no longer a Nissan or Infiniti, but continuing here at NICO! - Location: San Jose, CA
Folks, this has got to be a total rip-off situation. When you are offered something for far less than its worth, then beware.
Scams like this are all over the map on eBay for example - just read the message boards there. Typical scam is from Spain on Canon and Nikon cameras - the "guy has to seel because he works for a fashion company, bought three, and the shoot did not pan out". The high-end digital cameras sold here for 6 to 7k are offered for $2k - you just gotta send the money via Western Union. Yeah, right!
This guy wants 10% deposit. Your chance of getting the car or that $3.8k deposit back are next to nothing, I would guess.

A customer of BAD with only the ECU/TCU from BAD ( JWT), the rest stock, was once clocked by the Florida Hiway Patrol at 180 mph in a Q45. :ylsuper
I dont know for certain who he is, but I have a general idea and I strongly suspect him to be a NICO officer...
Fred...
PS: For those wondering who/what BAD is: Birkmeier Automotive design the early incarnation of our sponsor BRM.Also BAD basically WAS the NICO store years ago, but we had so few members then, they didnt last..
I emailed him and he repsonded - and made no mention of a errant price.
It is possible that he modded the car in some manner that has both had some horrilbe result and voided the warranty - just a thought.
Also if one were saavy in making this type of sight unseen purchase, it would be easiest and most secure to make an escrow transaction - if the seller agrees, I would think he is legitimate
