RS4 vs RS6 [Standard Spec]
RS4 vs RS6 [Standard Spec]
Last weekend i got absolutely smoked by an RS4. It left me absolutely standing!! and i was not shy with the loud pedal either.
It's acceleration was amazing. Yes it had had some work done to it i could hear that [milltek etc.....] but i could not believe just how must quicker it was from 60 upwards than my 6, much faster throttle response in entire rev range!!!
registration was **MEE- RS4 saloon Silver.
Makes me want to save up and have a bit of work done @ MRC. Can't have it happen again.

Was it a B5 or a B7?
Edit: Oops, just saw 'saloon'. Ignore me
It must have some kind of forced induction to blow you away like that

Hold on, if it was a saloon that blew you away, it couldn't have been a B5 RS4.
I think what Dave is saying is that he had a B5 but now has a B7 with unknown mods.
