Don't want understeer don't buy an Audi!
M4 I drove felt incredible in the corners compared to my old RS but as you say it's going to be a year before they're at sensible money.

Fair point...I think our 2012 2 litre tdi a4 black edition understeered less!Nickyboy wrote:Don't want understeer don't buy an Audi!

Re: understeer
Must be something wrong if the RS under steers more than the A4. Either that it you are far too hot into the corners.

Re: understeer
There is one corner on A31 coming through New Forest which to be shows if a car handles well...nothing extreme but a fast left hander. ..so coming through at same speed in the rs4 as I would in a4 the rs4 just wants to go through the central reservation whereas the a4 wanted to follow the road!marc1 wrote:Must be something wrong if the RS under steers more than the A4.

Don't underestimate the effect if tyres - rs4 seems very sensitive to them

Re: understeer
Good to know...am speaking to Litchfield who I know well and Backdraft Motorsport as well...hopefully get it fixed...I am wondering if the tyres are not helping either.AdrianD wrote:+1, Chris transformed the handling on my 911, best upgrade by farCovkiller wrote:Speak to Chris at Centre Gravity, he's s a magician with suspension and eradicating understeer.

Re: understeer
First thing to change is the tyres,if your coming into a roundabout or bend at speed, your going to get 4 wheel drift?Good to know...am speaking to Litchfield who I know well and Backdraft Motorsport as well...hopefully get it fixed...I am wondering if the tyres are not helping either.
It's a 4 wheel drive car, doesn't matter if your in a b7 or 8
Maybe the 4 is just not suited to your driving style, go rear wheel drive if you want a different experience

Re: understeer
Have had 3 x GTR's and two x 911 turbos and 1 x evo over many years so get how to drive a 4wd car and how to set up for corner...based on the first 1500 miles I think the Quattro system is inferior to those in the gtr and porsche...perhaps because they are sport cars. ..However the corner i benchmark
on my range rover sports have cornered with less understeer and they way huge amounts
