I've not heard the Supersprint (had one on my MKV GTI and it was a quality bit of kit), but I've mostly had Milltek on my cars, and I am a stockist/dealer, so good discounts to be had - I have the Quad resonated, non valved on mine, and I'm really pleased with it

Lovely looking RS4, they do look soooo PUMPED i definately think they fed them steriods at the factory when they were Being Born.

Shame they dont have the guts to match. ive Been out in one now and it didnt to shift along very quickly at all. Ive raced them at the pod and Beaten them quite easily.

No douBt around a track they would Be good, BUT only with a good driver, i went out in one at the ring and it was not storming at all.

M6 and RS4 look the tits togetherr mate

They have to be driven hard ill admit but IM enjoying this more than the M6 even though the M6 is quicker in a straight line. I think across country it would be faster than most cars, M6 included. It just inspires such confidence it goes were you point, no vaugness at all. Its far from gutless Carl i can assure you. The noise is pure sex ive missed having a V8, you press the starter button and it just erupts into life. on dragtimes there are cars doing 12.5 at 110 so faster than youve been

From a roll they are slower than the new M3 you can search M5board.com videos and they prove it, however they also do a race from standstill to 155mph and guess what the RS4 wins so its a fast car make no mistake.

Ultimatley The M3 has been proven to be the sharper driving tool and is faster around most tracks apart from the Nurburgring were the RS4 has done a 7.58. I cant drive like the people who do comparisons in the mags and test drivers etc but i really do think 99% of all drivers would be able to go faster in an RS4 than they could in a M3.

However its all about what makes me happy and it looks amazing, i am getting more reaction from people in this than the M6, it sounds simply fabulous, i get twice the fuel mileage than compared to the M6 which is nice, the seats are superb the satnav is better than the Bmw as is the bluetooth connection that happens straight away instead of the usual 2 minute wait and i am enjoying driving again, changing gear trying to learn heel and toe again which to me is the most important thing.

its looking more than likey that ill sell the M6 the love affair is over ive found a new palything

Well Steve, I stand corrected! When commenting about the trim, I wasn't referring to how well made it is as Audi's probably do have the best made interiors! As you said, it's just not as plush compared to a full leather M6.

However, totally agree that cross country the RS4 would drop most things; having driven one myself I found it was probably the easiest car I have ever tried to drive VERY fast as it gets it's power down easily and it just grips grips grips! I don't think they're as challenging to drive as the equivalent BMW's but then the m3's et al would struggle to keep up on a challenging cross country drive unless you really know how to drive!

Nice car Steve; I fully understand why anyone would buy one of these.

But you gotta do it in the 'dirty diesel taxi thing' Mike

Wouldn't be fair otherwise as after today's experience I think the M3 would have the edge...just!
