Having done an Audi performance driving day in an RS5 with passengers and driver that did 64 on Barbs long that doesn't surprise me.

Driver was Steve Pazzati (Aussie Top Gear Presenter).

SPEC IV 26-03-2013 10:51 PM

Love Audis.

Recently drove my dads, 2010/11 S4 (V6 Supercharged). Like Jimmy has said solid car and the power delivery isn't kick in your ass but more...oh shit i'm doing 100+ and not even noticing it.
Congrats on the purchase.
Lovely cars to drive.

My wife wants one as well, just so she can bury her foot into the firewall when taking off from kids school/playgroup.

Jimmy S 27-03-2013 11:22 AM

Would have loved a wagon... but the Aus-delivered ones all seem to go for quite a bit more than the equivalent sedan...

This... Is so much win...

I've got a million shares in a exploration company at the moment, they are $0.03 currently, word is they may hit $0.25 or higher :)

If they do I'm buying one of these!!

Captain Awesome 27-03-2013 09:51 PM

Nice one Jimmy! I almost bought one of those last year! Very appealing car.

Jimmy S 28-03-2013 10:41 AM

Fair call!!

Did you drive one? because I've no idea how anyone could drive one of these and not want to immediately purchase... As soon as he pressed the start button, I was sold! haha

kid 28-03-2013 10:46 AM

How does these compare to an M3?

DukeDrifter 28-03-2013 10:51 AM

[QUOTE=kid;745482]How does these compare to an M3?[/QUOTE]

E92 or E46

kid 28-03-2013 10:59 AM

Both

Jimmy S 28-03-2013 11:58 AM

Comparison is closest to the E92..

Both V8, both sound amazing! The M3 seems to just have the edge in performance in most categories, but 4 doors and AWD grip more than makes up for that on the street IMO! :D

Yeah I took one out for a spin mate, I loved it, the control, the [B][U][SIZE="4"]sound[/SIZE][/U][/B], the power (not as "torquey" as the evo but better in other ways)
I ended up deciding against it for a few reasons, I am too young to settle down with a euro :p, I KNEW that if I bought it i'd end up dropping 30k-40k in the first month to supercharge it, and I was too curious about how the Evos SST performs.
Some days I regret it, some I don't. :p Very interested to see what sort of mod path you take mate!

Jimmy S 01-04-2013 12:53 AM

Few fresh pics off my camera after a wash... The state of the paint on this thing is amazing to me... Dirt just slides off it and it is like a mirror afterwards! :D

Few fresh pics of the RS4... LED taillights are the only visible changes, although KW V3 coilovers are on the way and should be fitted in the next month or so! :)

Jimmy S 17-09-2014 03:26 PM

So... Have been saving moneys up with the plan to purchase something in the way of exhaust or rims for the Audi... But this popped up near new on eBay this week and I couldn't resist given it is really the only off-the-shelf intake available for the RS4, but at $1700rrp+post brand new, it was a long way out of reach at that price for what is essentially cosmetic, although I was told it does make a fantastic noise!

[IMG]https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10672202_10152774959514529_4104049975285457549_n.jpg?oh=83403189ac84ef09693a2e4bb184e06c&oe=54859184[/IMG]

Anyway... Picked it up yesterday after work and fitted it last night. First impression while cruising along waiting for the car to warm up this morning was that I had wasted a fair bit of coin, however, giving it a bit of a squeeze on the Roe hwy onramp I heard what everyone carries on about, and why people do drop nearly $2k on a pretty pod filter... Must have looked like a proper idiot rolling onto the highway with a giant stupid grin on my face!... :D

minor update for anyone still following this thread! :)

Caught up with Phil from Eurospec in Balcatta yesterday and loaded up a tune on the RS4 which allegedly nets +18kW and 25Nm... And would say that the bum-dyno certainly supports that sort of improvement all through the rev range! Car feels great!! Very happy with the service and results! :D

Also ordered a Magnaflow cat-back system from Phil at the same time! Should be here in a month or two or three... :P
