Yeah but the '3 is a haldex derivative, the B8 [can] have ADS quattro with the Audi sports diff.Shoppinit wrote:Are they, though? Those DSG boxes are good, though. But would be even better in an RS3. Other than boot space, I bet there's no more room in the S4.
I heard you had a bit of a soft spot for the TTaRSe, bam.
Thoughts, anyone?

Amar, you annihilate everything, anyway.

Re: Thoughts, anyone?
I don't want to go in a straight line, you need to spend more time away from Vegas. A tuned B8S4 would be no quicker in the sprints than my current stage 3 C5, but I'll be going around corners, have more space, toys and be slightly more than reliable (in theory).Amar wrote:Nice S Line. I was a fan, until I drove one (standard) – and it bored me, I then annihilated a stage two S Tronic MRC'd one twice, I really thought it would have more of an edge to 100 or so. Go drive one, you might like it. Personally, I'd keep the C5. What is making you want to change, experiencing all the new models at Silverstone given you the itch?

Re: Thoughts, anyone?
B8S4 more space than the C5? You sure bam? I bet they would be an ace car for country lanes. Gotta keep the C5 just for the sound, no?

From a 'loon to an S4 avant, probably 'just' more room.

Wonder if the battery is in the boot? That extra room would help YOU incase of, well, the old tourch on the quiff trying to get to the battery mission.

Re: Thoughts, anyone?
I’m probably being unfair to the B8 S4, I had REALLY high expectations before I drove one, and I've only driven a standard variant.
Go on then, buy it, bang a B8 RS 4 grill on it, some V Spokes, uprate the ARBs, put a zorst on, tune it, and enjoy the modern tech/reliability.
DK took me out in the RS 5 with the fancy sports diff and it was quite impressive, find one with that and you’re on to a winner, probably, RINGA loved his and he went from a tuned C5.
Try and keep hold of the C5, too. It suits you.

Re: Thoughts, anyone?
The one I linked in the start of this thread has ADS/sport diff.
Hate the leather.
Don't want another black car (read lazy bastard).
Other than that, it's got all the right options. Compelling, need to drive it. I asked for Audi Whetstone to find me one months ago, no response, naaaada.

Contact Andy at Chelmsford Audi, one of us and owns a B5 RS4 himself. He'll make sure someone gets back to you. Say Amar sent you. Of course, there is Drybeer too. But he's all the way up in Scotland.
