Possibly the ultimate RS4 - not sure of your budget though...
Really??k

33k is way OTT and there is definitely a load of sales guff going on in that advert IMHO.
Sales guff!! I am an enthusiast as you pal and been on the forum a long time. When it comes to the b7 rs4 i know what i am talking about. I know what is good and what is not and this car is one of the best.

Sales guff!! I am an enthusiast as you pal and been on the forum a long time. When it comes to the b7 rs4 i know what i am talking about. I know what is good and what is not and this car is one of the best.

What has membership length got to do with things, I've been eating all my life but a Masterchef I am not. If you know what you are talking about then can I ask why you quote the car as having over 600 BHP? MRC say that the kit is capable of 600PS with additional work which in old money is 591BHP. So that's best case scenario, the last TTS car I saw on the rollers made 570BHP.

Then there is this -
Fitted in June this year was a completely brand new Tarox 12 pot braking system consisting of huge discs and pads. These have more stopping power than the ceramics audi do.

Really, can you verify that? Let’s be honest here, the Tarox system is a more affordable way of getting bigger brakes onto the RS4 at £3.6k vs the Ceramic's at £8k. More pistons doesn't equate to greater stopping power and on the face of it, the Ceramics looks to have a far greater swept area along with superior weight saving.

Also an Alpine unit for £1300, whoopee...an RNS-e from Audi is circa £1800. Ok, I'm going to stop! I don't really want to get into arguing with people.

Clearly a lot of money has been spent on the car, hence deciding to comment in this thread rather than in the actual sale thread. It's just that reading through the advert there is continual underlying tones of best this and best that which is sales patter and ones opinion - hence my sales guff comment. A great advert is a factual one, good luck with it and watch out for low flying jets in the Lake District.

I did write a response to this but I am not getting involved in an argument. All I will say is that enough people have seen or been in my car to appreciate the quality of the product, the performance and the time and money that has gone into it.

My old tts charged car made 640 odd ps [THUMBS UP SIGN] not 600 the 600 is conservative at best. They range from anything around 620-650 depending on the age of the car and the cams that are fitted. I don't think another tts car has ran the 11.4 mines ran either though

I was waiting for another TTS owner to comment on this, cheers Danny. I do agree that the 11.4 time quoted by TTS is a tough one but is possible as in your old motor. You had any joy with the GTR sale?

My car was good for more tbh but we never got the chance to play around with it because I sold it. On the gtr mate I only ever posted it on here, had one bite through a friend but he turned out to be a time waster. I'll do a new add sometime next week and stick it on pistonheads it's far to good a car to lay in the drive.

Yep! When I was looking for one red wasn't what I was after but went along to see one and ended up buying it as it looked so good.

All I will say is that they do not photograph very well and look very flat, but in but in the flesh look great.

Was at a wedding last weekend and had around 5 people come up to me and ask if that was my RS4 outside and how great it looked.

Never had anyone say anything but good things about the colour in the 2 years I've owned it.
