As I said, I understand that the objective data marginally favors the Audi. Where are the actual comparisons/races documented?

Here is an RS4 Avant tearing up an Evo 8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LU5aTCHxnw&feature=related Here is a modified Evo against an RS4 on stock rubber: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVARQfX9h0c Replies to this message: usadriver (Mar 08, 2009 8:52 am) hjstrain (Apr 05, 2009 10:36 am) tegtee (Sep 22, 2009 1:31 pm)

I have raced against souped up EVOs, GTOs, Challengers, Honda whatevers, standard corvettes and NONE of them keep up with my RS4 in 0-60 mode. As for the few Lambos, ferraris, and one ZR1 I have run across, they don't seem to want to test out their cars with my RS4. My RS4 was slighty modified this winter and my HP is now around 450. I can't wait to switch out my snow tires and put on my summer street tires to see what it can do now. This car is the most fun I have had in a car ever. Yes I can fit 4 people in it comfortably and since it is a "business" lease, it is a plus. But the most fun is driving the RS4 long distance on the interstate and getting through traffic without interference. I have driven both my RS4 and my Range Rover to Las Vegas and both are comfortable and handled great but the RS4 is much more fun in LV and draws a crowd and I did not see one there at all. I had one major problem (Catalytic Converter flashed) and Schaumburg Audi the engineers at Audi saw to it that I was inconvenienced to a minimum. A new CC was sent 1st class from Germany and in a total of three days I was once again driving my car. I have on order a R8 and it should be in during the month of June. If it handles better and accelerates better then the RS4 I am in for a treat. (I tried to post a pic of my Pearl Black RS4 but it didn't work, sorry) Replies to this message: hjstrain (Apr 05, 2009 10:36 am) tegtee (Sep 22, 2009 1:31 pm)

Hi I just purchased a new 2008 RS4 Cab. I pick it up next week. I have only driven it once as a tame test drive with the top down. What can you tell me to look forward to? It is the Phantom Black Metallic and is gorgeous. I had a 2003 RS6 and it feels quite different. However, my RS6 had a sunroof and automatic transmission. I am looking forward to seeing the stars on warm summer nights.

Replying to: usadriver (Mar 08, 2009 8:52 am) I live in Botswana, Africa, and I've had my RS4 2008 for a year this last July. You mentioned you have a 450HP Mod done on your whip. Please give more specifics on the Mod as I would like to hook mine up next year. I drive a silver RS, nice with tinted windows and the Ford ST (silver tinted 4 door). always tint all my cars, just adds to the look n feel (why do u figure all car adverts carry tinted demo car...? ). Previously had X5is and 540i and A42.8i v6 in last four years, but I will must say the RS4 is an absolute fun car man!! I would buy it again any time!! So about the Mod on the RS...wus'up!
