would be interesting to know. is a RS4 capable for example of beating an M3, M5,....in the straight line.
more interesting maybe, can a tuned RS4 (450hp or more) beat an GT3 or 360 modena??
Did anyone of you ever lost "a battle" at trafficlights??

I remember Mac at Windsor (AmD modded RS4) running to his car as this 360 Modena left the car park. Within half a mile he had overtaken it.
I've got a vid of the 360 returning. I'll upload it to my website and give you a link later on.

Really depends on power to weight, gearing, and top speed.
There are a few sites which list 0-60 mph times. Basically a stock RS4 should be circa 4.8 seconds.
The real challenge is 0-170+ mph. This range doesn't leave many cars in the running.....
Flame suit at the ready. Sure to be a heated discussion, and people will complain that we think we have the fastest cars in the world, blah, blah, blah..... [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Well, i think that too, and i don't have it, that doesn't makes me impartial though [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Oh yes, do you have a clue how much time you need on the 400M sprint??

The sprint from the lights is always a hard one
Our car is very heavy compared to a lot so the initial off the line is not so good.
i have alledgedly raced M3 and M5. The M3 pulled away very quickly fromt he lights and probably got half a length ahead, this also happened with a Ferrari 355
But once into 2nd or 3rd gears, over 40mph you can just leave them standing
Is 400m a quatre mile? If so I believe Rob Kely did this in 12.5 seconds, but again this type of driving can only damage your transmission

yep, i forgot you guys count in miles [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
I allways told my friends that the RS4 would certainly beat an M3 and 996, but it actually does right? So i don't need to change that [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

No your right
The only way the M3 beat me was driving like a lunatic
But he got stuffed up to his speed limiter

Did you know, that according to Autocar, the RS6 is quicker to 30mph than a Mclaren F1..
Not sure about after 30 though [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/ban.gif[/img]
Sorry.. think it was actually Evo mag [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]

I think the RS2 was almost on a par with the F1 to 30mph. But then after the first 1.5 seconds it is all over for the RS2!!

M3/M5/360/Porsche Turbo, all no problem in a straight line with a modified car. M5 no problem on a track, M3 depends on track and driver, Porsche Turbo on say Bedford Autodrome - not a chance - just check out howfast.com to see the difference [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] - you will notice the same driver (Martin Roberts) in both cars, posting very different times (although in a straight line he would have no chance [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]) - its just a better balanced circuit car.
The only thing I have a problem with (in a straight line) is the Porsche Gemballa GTR600 - power to weight is just amazing [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

That sodding MK1 Golf GTi at Castle Coombe, god that was insane [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]
It nearly lapped all the RS4s [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]
