Audi RS4
 

I made my Bi weekly trip to Barnes and Noble (does bi weekly mean every two weeks?) and read the car magazines because I am too cheap to buy them. Anyway, the Ferrari, P-turbo, and C-Z06 write up in Motorweek? was pretty good. Sounds like the Z06 was the fastest, but it still came in 3rd due to be undriveable anywhere other than the track.

I also read the Audi RS4 review...what do you guys think of that monster?

"Sounds like the Z06 was the fastest, but it still came in 3rd due to be undriveable anywhere other than the track"

You know, I have heard this comment before. Yet, I took a ride in my buddy's Z06 and I didn't think it was that bad. Certainly no harsher than the TT 911 I have in stock right now.

Now to be fair, the base Corvette is much more a daily driver and if they are comparing it to that car, I can see the criticism.

On the Audi, I have never been able to warm up to those cars even though I want to.

Go figure! They make a nicely engineered car though.

I dig the RS4. It's pretty stout. But I'm really more of a Bimmer guy, so I'd rather have an M3 or and M3 CSL.

I find that the Audi (with the exception of the TT) now has only one body style in 4 different sizes.... Small, Medium, Large, & Extra Large (A3, A4, A6, A8). Is it just me or do all those look excessively similar?

Yes, to me they do.

I'm just amazed at the size of the powerplants they are stuffing into this relatively small car. An S4 isn't much bigger than a boxster. I saw a picture of an RS4 with the hood open and it doesn't look like there is an inch to spare. I love the powerplant war between Audi and BMW...I predict a 600 hp RS4 in 2009! :)

I've come up behind an RS6 a few times and slowly moved past when I realized it's pushing around 400-500 hp. There's a distinct look to them. Something that says, "I may be a sedan, but don't even think about taking me on"....

Personally, I don't care for the looks of the new Audi TT and I think it looks too much like an A4. I haven't seen a new one in the wild so my opinion may change then.
