I have managed 165 in fifth gear at 8150 rpm on four or five separate occasions and 172 in sixth with plenty still to come. On one occasion we were chasing a friend in a 997 C2S and gaining slightly before lifting. The Porsche hit an indicated 160 and we touched 165 on the same section. I would esti...

My wife hates driving my RS4 and kerbed it on the first occasion (moving it 2 yards as a traffic warden approached). The clutch is certainly light enough though.
The point about winter weather is important and we all know how poor BMW's are in snow!

Well, I have made the decision, and my much loved RS4 saloon will be sold before Christmas. If anyone is interested in a black saloon, 10k, with tech pack, sunroof, sports suspension plus, phone, heated rear seats and sports front seats let me know. At the moment I have an offer of £47k which seems ...

I had the opposite happen! We easily hit a very clear 172mph (on video) and couldn't find the limiter before lifting for a (gentle) bend. This was in a B7 but it seems that these limiters are all over the place. You're better getting rid of these nuisence restrictors but I couldn't find anyone that ...

From my experience, you will find little difference in a 3rd or 4th gear type drag race between many high performance cars. This week, we keep the same distance behind a Corvette ZR6 between 85mph and 140mph. The same said when my mate in his C4S 996 and I decided to do a 60 to 110 drag in Italy and...

Hi Guys! Got back from my trip yesterday and words cannot possibly express how much I love this machine! We have video evidence of 172 and still going without any limiter. We hit 165 four times with ease before lifying for a bend or traffic and 163 in fifth. The overall stats were 2946 miles, 20.9mp...

The day I have been looking forward to for months has finally arrived! Today, a mate and I are off to Rome via Nurnberg Ring along with about 50 other cars on "euro-enduro" see www.circuit-days.co.uk . My nieghbour is taking his 996 C4S. There are a few RS6's and an RS4 B5 entered. :beerchug: Change...

This seems like an excellent quote! I was very happy with £1157 based on full no claims discount (65%), tracker, £600 excess, reasonable Cheshire postcode and 34 years old.

I am going to change my longlife oil for Mobil1 0W40 and a new filter this weekend. Does anyone have an opinion on the standard long life oil? Am I correct in saying that the only reason that it's used is to help the car get to around 18,000 miles without a service? I have always used Mobil1 in my p...

Jez, I ran mine in quite quickly. Up to 6,500 rpm until 400 miles and then up to 7,200 rpm until about 800 miles. I noticed after this the rev limiter cuts in at 8050 and not the suggested 8250rpm. This is still the case after 6000 miles. I have always ran my cars in quickly and they have always per...

The red goes really well with the optics pack but I think it looks crap with black or daytona grey. I like the standard bling mirrors.
I was offered the suede wheel but I think it was about £700!

Supaguard is a complete waste of money. I had it once on a BMW after a very hard sell from the saleman. I later found out that the salesmen get £50 each time it is opted for. On a similiar note, I tried out a "Mer" alloy wheel polish and it seems to work really well. The RS4 brakes really spew out a...

Hi Guys.. Am now up to 2600 miles approx in my RS4.. loving it.. after having my bluetooth sorted, absolutely no problems, loving it every minute! have sorted out my fuel consumption issue by swapping the other cars for diesels, and now the RS4 is only for my joyrides out of work.. However, i have ...

Hi. I have Sports Suspension Plus on my black RS4 saloon. I think it's worth the money for the improved looks alone. It is a bit harsh on rough surfaces at low speeds but fantastic on normal sufaces. I also have the heated rear seats which have never been used. The Audi phone kit is great, if a bit ...

I have been enjoying my RS4 (B7) for 5 months now. Previously ran a RS6 saloon. The RS4 is a black saloon with black sports seats, s/r, suspension plus, tech pack and h/r/seats. I am off to the N/Ring in a few weeks and I was wanting to de-retrict the limiter. Does anyone know where to contact? Last...
