Hey guys. I am currently looking to purchase either a 13-14 5.0 or 15-17 5.0. I have driven an M6 2011 and a 2016 A6 premium. I really enjoyed driving both in different ways. I did a search on S197/S550 comparisons so most all my questions have already been addressed and the answers consistent with my experience.
My question is a rather subjective one. While the S550 seems to be better in almost every way, if I look back on my test drive between the two, the one thing the S197 "seems to feel" to me, is a bit lighter on its tires. The steering seems much lighter (even compared to comfort mode on the s550) and the car just "feels" a bit more responsive. I know on the edge the S550 is going to be more stable but can anyone else comment on this or share their experience.
I know the S550 is heavier and while it obviously is the superior handler, it doesn't seem as "lively" as the S197. The S550 is more akin to my 2010 SS in feel. Any thoughts?
