very nice car... congrats.

I had a nice long look at the RS4 at the MMS, great vehicle, better imo than the bmw now... the only let down in this model (A4 series) is the interior. Prefer the Beema's or merc when comparing in this class. The other let down is when i learnt the RS4 is selling for around $240,000... about 100K over my budget in a few years....

a very nice ride indeed, there have been a few audi's over the years that are quite classy, yet still pack the sporty punch

is a 50/50 spilt front and rear - perfectly smooth shifting with the 6 speed box, and even with paddle shifting it remains totally true to form. 1st to second is IMO a little slow on the uptake - but at 6.1sec's to 100k's I don't think this will be an issue.

How much do they weigh, that is a good sprint to 100 for a little V8 too.
