New Audi RS4, 7:58 around Nurburgring..
Audis DTM-driver Frank Stippler.

Not bad for a 4 door. Its even faster than the new M5 and I think it looks better than the new M5

I agree and im in love with it. Whats the redline again? 7800? Jeez, a V8 with that kinda rev limit is all sorts of fun. I read that it sounds absolutly amazing and its a riot to drive.

if it's faster than the M5 which is north of $110.000 and has AWD in addition, price seems to be 'reasonable'

Oh sure, its purdy, but the new Z06 will squish it

I'm into squishing...so is CNN business news.

But seriously, AWD is a great advantage. The problem for me would be weight which hp can't overcome.

On a canyon road, I don't think the RS4 would have a prayer against our 911 cars.

Incidentally, I think that grill is hideous. I used to think it was cool in photos, but in person it overwhelms the front end.

If a cyclops also had only one nostril, it'd look like the new Audis.

The RS4 won't rattle it's way around the track like the ZO6. Also note it takes 7 liters for the ZO6 to make 500 BHP and the Audi makes 420 with 4.2. As for the interior, there's no comparison. Maybe a better ZO6 comparison would be the RS6 with 500+ BHP.

In a straight line, sure, but on the ring?

dd74 · 10-19-2005, 08:34 PM

The Z06 front end is also ugly...it looks too Mitsubishi 3000 GT-like for me...

Bring back pop up headlights...
