New to me Daytona Gray '21 RS6!

**HurrayFive** · 02-04-2024 12:20 PM

I've been looking to get back into a C8 for what feels like forever... I bought my '21 RS7 brand new (which unfortunately felt not worth the price) and have wanted an RS6 ever since but ONLY if I could find one for the right used deal. I had picked up the RS5 Comp to hold me over and I'm still convinced that's the best handling RS on the market...it's just not an RS6/7 inside, and it doesn't have that fantastic 4.0TT V8 that is my main requirement!

3-4 alllmmooost deals later (where I was literally hours late in some cases) on the car being sold and I finally found my 2021 RS6 in my fave DG before they had even listed it. I called about another RS6 that had already sold, am lucky for the find.

2021 DG RS6 w/ 12K miles, snagged for $107K ($133K original MSRP)
- Carbon ceramics
- Executive pack w/ HUD + extended leather
- Night vision assist
- DAP
- Black ops + carbon ops 22" wheels
- Individual contour seats (full body massaging heck yeah)
- Full carbon ops matched interior
- Fully updated MMI w/ wireless AA

It's had one original owner w/ a super clean Carfax, thing is in just about mint condition inside and out, and I'm super stoked after a few days of driving it! It's hilarious how much of a difference there is between sport (my RS7) and non-sport exhaust (the RS6), there's basically no lift-off burble of any kind, and it's all software and slightly different muffler baffling. Will slap some 034 mids on it if necessary, but is the only disappointing stock piece for me.

I had the B&O Advanced Sound in my RS7 and it was a requirement until it wasn't because it's not on most of the barely used cars available. I miss the pop-up tweeters but I have the base ~900 watt B&O Premium configured the same as it is in my B9's (where it's optional) and I'm actually glad I let the B&O Advanced system go because the Premium sounds as nice as it does in my B9's once it's configured correctly. Couple of pics attached!

I appreciate it! Rare spec for sure, these seats are ultra comfortable too.

Still can't believe the lack of brake dust, felt like I looked at my RS5 the wrong way and it added more dust, it's the best.

Nice car!!!

**Mops@Nemesis** · 02-08-2024 02:52 PM

Congrats Chase!

**HurrayFive** · 02-08-2024 03:32 PM

Thanks Ben, I appreciate it! Been looking for something in this exact config, single owner, excellently cared for w/ less than 15K miles forever and finally snagged something, super happy with it for the money.

**JG 996T** · 02-11-2024 07:03 PM

nice

**tinmanwpk** · 02-12-2024 08:11 AM

Nice car - you should be more than happy with it!

**NoGarageQueen** · 02-12-2024 09:21 AM

Congrats and enjoy for many miles in the best of health! That is a unicorn spec and almost exactly what i would have built if I’d gotten an allocation prior to 2024.

**HurrayFive** · 02-12-2024 10:45 AM

Thanks all, absolutely loving it, just not anything else out there right now that I enjoy all-around in every category as much as this RS6. Decided to throw an APR intake and 034 mids on, both for just a tiiiiny bit more volume (will be here and on in a week or two), and my Vossen's get here later this week.

My classic garage shot I take of all the cars, will throw up a comparison of the same stance once I put the new shoes on this week.

**HurrayFive** · 02-17-2024 05:02 PM

Wheels & APR intake filter went on today, will do the inlets when I have a bit more time...wheels transform the car! Many more pics to come in the future :)

Looks great

I can't help myself but keep coming back to how well the flush stance looks compared to the stockers now, she so pretty.

Looks so much better. I am getting a Daytona Gray in the next week when it ships, lightly used '21. Planning black wheels also because it looks amazing. Are those HF-5 22x10.5"? What is the offset, because it looks perfect

Also, what level tint did you go with?

Thanks, I agree, looks perfect w/ the factory BO trim. Yeah these are HF5's 22x10.5 ET 12, TAG had one set in stock mounted to a new set of 285/30 factory Pirelli's so I snagged them while I could, no spacers, looks perfect to me!

Dirty car but the wheels make up for it, have already had a handful of people come talk to me about a car that already gets a lot of attention because of the new shoes :)

Oh and prev owner already had the tint on, looks 20% all around to me, enjoy yours!

**Daytona RS5** · 02-18-2024 03:07 PM

Wow, your car looks gorgeous. I am biased to Daytona. I've had an RS5, RS7, R8 and now my RS6 will all have been this color. Can't wait!

Congrats! Very similar to mine, which I've now owned for two years. Couldn't be happier. Love every minute of driving it. Had 6,000 miles when I bought it, up to just over 22K now.

**HurrayFive** · 02-18-2024 03:36 PM

Your spec looks excellent bwhip and enjoy the next DG variant Daytona RS5!

I've now had this RS6, an S4, S5 Coupe, and SQ5 in DG, it's my fave base color to start with of all of them because it's easy to shoot, match to wheels, and easy to clean in the PNW, it's just rarely been available when I'm looking so I end up in Nardo, white, and blue variants more often than not.

Awesome, glad I'm not the only fanatic.

Beautiful past and present Daytona collection, you're going to enjoy your new RS6!

**Nsd991** · 02-19-2024 08:05 AM

Get one more and will be Hurray 5

**JWebb_C7_Comp** · 02-19-2024 09:46 PM

Wow: congrats. Carbon fiber on console looks fantastic. Original wheels are great and the new ones even better!

**HurrayFive** · 02-24-2024 01:58 PM

Man oh man do I enjoy this car, she rips so hard on the highway every time I get an open stretch, couple of days without rain so she's a little clean to boot! Doesn't need a dang thing more.

**Daytona RS5** · 02-25-2024 06:37 AM

Looks so good! Can't wait to get black wheels on mine. Makes Daytona look amazing

Mine still has a temp rear plate only until the dealer gets me the title, so I hated to drive too much and get unwanted attention from the fuzz, but think I need to drive it today. Also need a proper registration to get a state inspection, so have to wait a few weeks to really be out and about unfortunately. Your pics make me look forward to driving it.

In the middle of what has felt like an endless rain onslaught, we finally got a half a day of sunshine today and we had to clean up the cars, even if it's only for a moment, wishing for friggin' summer!

**Daytona RS5** · 03-02-2024 03:40 PM

Agreed, can't wait for some sunshine. Mine needs a detail asap.

It's always gloomy in Seattle this time of year but this winter has been relentless, ready for real sun! The RS will go in for a full paint correction and detail once it dries out a little bit, but was tired of staring at winter road grime so we had to clean them up a bit at least today.
