audi rs4

:headbang:

think im with you on that.

Looks like a nice one!

Two cool quotes:

Quote:Vented 14.4-inch front rotors and 12.8-inch rears give this little Audi the ability to "brake better than the Lamborghini Gallardo," according to Audi spokesperson Josef Schlossmacher. Audi should know—it owns Lamborghini.

Quote:After about 25 miles of autobahn cat-and-mouse, the unimaginable (to the Benz driver) occurs. The Audi pulls ahead of the Benz to an indicated 168 mph. With the Benz's speedo pegged at a governed 155 mph, its driver can only sit back and watch as the ungoverned Audi pulls ahead. Stateside, the speeds will likely be a bit less extreme when the approximately $55,000 RS 4 goes on sale next spring.

Yes, that put a smile on my face...what a car!

Quote:The stronger and lighter internal components as well as the cooling properties of direct injection, which allows for a higher compression ratio, yield a high-revving, ferocious V-8 with a power peak of 7800 rpm and an 8250-rpm redline. But this engine is not without low-end torque—at least 90 percent of the 317 pound-feet of peak torque is available at 2250 rpm.

Holy crap! 8250RPM as a redline in a small V8 - imagine what the tuners will be hitting!

rs4 is a very sweet car. I have a huge poster of it in the pool room.

Last night I was looking for fun on ebay....they have buy it now options for 1st gen DODGE vipers for 21-23K Usd. Thats what...26-29 G's CND. :huh:

That's not funny, Nate. Don't tempt me like that. It's "only" 400BHP with an assload of torque, and easily bumped up. A true muscle car for the 90s.

Hmmm... I wonder what insurance would be for me on a viper :lol:

Nice numbers.

But man that car is hideous.

Viper or RS4?

I'm in the market for a new car. Perhaps I'll take two loans out one for the RS4, and one for the insurance on the RS4.

Loans? Try selling your internal organs, twice over <_<

(Audi's built like bank vaults... priced like 'em too)

Seriously tho... I don't like the wheels, but the rest of the car is hot.

I agree with anthonyd on this one, it is a nice car :)

But the back end looks like a early 1990's Saturn SL2 to me :huh:
