Got my first ride in an RS4 today. The CEO of the company I'm working with that a friend of mine franchised took us out to lunch. He's pretty awesome, he's a total gearhead. Fit and finish inside was amazing. Tons of really high quality carbon fiber. Not the toned down shit that's all over my car. The exterior styling speaks for itself, although I will admit it is not as sexy on the exterior as the CFO's S8. He's not too worried about it though, the RS4 is going to be his beater since his 09 R8 is going to arrive in Indy next week :twisted:
I've been in quite a few quick cars, definitely a few 400+hp ones but that car moves out. It was me, him and another 200+ pound guy and that car had instant torque and pretty startling upper rpm pull for a V8. We were coming up pretty quick on a red light and that thing came to a stop better than any car I've ever been in. I mean bone crushing stopping power with no drama for a bigass 4 door car.
I've never really been sold on German cars at all, but I REALLY feel like if I ever had the means I would love to own one of those cars. The sound, the stability, the looks and the practicality make it such a solid daily driver. I mean it's no R8, but it's a sick ride. I'm HOPING to get a ride in the R8 if it gets here before I head back to Charlotte. Here are some pics of the RS4 and the S8 I took on my phone's camera.

sweet, i'm jealous! they are really capable cars considering their numbers on paper (weight, size, wt. distribution, etc). just as long as you don't have to service them, they'd be a great car to have :lol:

Agreed. That definitely felt like it had more than 420hp or whatever it is. Or maybe I've just been driving a sub-300hp car for too long.
The S8 owner did say that if you get in an accident in that car it really sucks. There is apparently only one place in the entire country that is qualified to do body work on that car, so your car has to be shipped out to them and you're given an A8 loaner until they're done with it.

Body work isn't body work? Do they use fasteners, sheetmetal, ad plastic that the rest of Audi doesn't?

I have to agree.. I really want a 06-07 RS4... Not to many people have Audi's and I think that an RS4 is by far one of the most practical/"go" EDD car's I can think of.. It says you have class and like performance without settling into a BMW like every other business world "douchebags"..

I think he's talking about people with a 330i who think they are hot shit and/or E46/92 M3 owners who have one for the badge and not the performance.
Oh, and you're a douchebag.

It says you have taste... I'm referring to every guy who gets just out of college, has a decent job.. and like Goodspeed said buys a 330ci and drives around like he owns the world..

I'll post up some pics of the R8 when it gets here I think on Wed or Thursday. He ordered a custom carbon fiber steering wheel, had custom carbon fiber mirrors made and a fully customized interior from Audi. I dont think the mirrors or steering wheel will be installed yet.

So? Chapin has one, does he have a M3 bodykit on his and drive around with girl-shades and a bluetooth headset? I don't think there is anything wrong with someone in a club with "motorsports" in the name owning a BMW. But outside of such, you can't deny the stigma a BMW has...
