well, back when this car was developed, the direct competitor was the E34 M5. it was far tamer in comparison, but better built. the sticker on mine was $64K CAD in 1996. ironically the M5 has a much higher resale value at this point.Originally Posted by johnrando

Back then, the Audi "A's" went up against the std. MB "C's" and BMW 3's, such as the A4 vs. MB C230/C300 vs. BMW 3 Series. A6 vs. M5, etc. Then Audi added the S, to go against the MB AMG and BMW M versions of those cars. S4 vs. M3, S6 vs M5, etc.
Now it's the R, RS, etc from Audi.

Read somewhere that for example, the A5 is matched with the E92 328i, then the S5 with the E92 335i, and the RS5 with the E92 M3.

Great story, thanks for sharing. I used to own a 2002 S6 and I agree, the ZHP was a lot more fun to drive. The S6 had this great exhaust that showcased its grunty V8, but the ZHP was actually faster and much more tossable. You felt every bit of the S6's hefty weight.
S6 was a cool car though. I called mine the "murder wagon" or "Mordwagen" as it was black with black tinted windows and a menacing growl from the exhaust.

I have some fun to add to this......
Installed my coilovers this weekend with a buddy of mine.
While I was at his house we realized how much better a baby seat fits in an e46 than an e36 M3.........
My friend is now on the hunt for a ZHP.....we may go look at one this weekend.
