not me comparing...autoweek and other magazines are comparing the two. It happens that the RS4 did SLIGHTLY better in some areas, but the M still killed in other areas. Overall the audi won in that competition, but keep in mind thats the old generation M3. When the new one comes out, i say bye bye audi, AGAIN. One thing ive learned, even though the styling is to each his own, BMW does not f#$k around when it comes to performance in an overall aspect. not just straight line. my 2 cents

Those B5's are very impressive cars...I've been for rides in k04 cars with headers, downpipes and a chip and it was insane...BUT with that being said they are pigs and are a nightmare to work on...
I should know the shop I worked at partime is a audi tuner.....Most of the things that really make power on that car mean you have to pull the motor...And the stupid front axles bolt into the tranny with like 12 allen bolts...

Audi is great n all, but after 130 theyre dead. tranny is also supposed to be not so good from experiences ive had w/ friends...that is what they have said. even tho its a V8 its just too damn heavy. 340hp v8? AWD? should do much better than the times it gives. Now, the new RS4 is coming out...stay clear...M3 competition. (E46) not the new E90's coming out...

"Say bye bye audi, AGAIN?" Didn't you just say the Audi won?

But in any case, I don't think a stock G can beat the B6 S4 in the 1/4 mile.. Modded, I still don't think so. Stock B6 S4 vs. Stock G35.. yes, probably.. but once that B5 S4 is modded, it should walk you.

Ok, not like you have a .1 second jump would mean much in that case, just wishful thinking on my part bro!

You still need luck even with a radar detector. Cops flip them on and off, especially laser, so if you are doing 130 you may only get a ticket for doing 100 - but that is still going to sting.
The best way is to send out some one ahead and have them check out the road, traffic going the other way and for any parked cops. Put in your earpiece on your cell and let them give you a realtime report on any cop action.
Naturally, all of this should only be done for the sake of science - like say testing to see if the speed rating on your tires is accurate. ;-)
BTW, I read that that RS4 is going to run between $75-80K, so it better be able to kick some serious *** on down the road.

They're talking about the S4 here. Completely different story. And you're wrong about the turbo lag. The turbo is so small on the A4, that theres barely any room for lag. What you're talking about is torque. The A4 has NO torque, and it weighs so much it takes time for it to get moving. Put a chip in it, and its a different story. You'll notice the difference right away. The chip APR makes raises the torque by 100lbs I believe.(at the peak of course) But anyways you get the point.
