I ran my Stock RS4 at Santa pod this weekend and only managed 14.5 Seconds.

Any one else ever recorded a time ?

I have run my last 2 cars.

BMW M3 : 14.00
Subaru STI WRC Spec 350 : 12.9

I thought it would be faster than the M3.

Just intersted to know as a work collegue went in his Evo 8 and blitzed me, after i told him it would be a good match.

If you're only managing 14 in an M3 you may want to work your your launch. I ran my 535d against an M3 and I got 13.8 and he got 13.7.... (actually, that makes you not too far off, but 0.3s is a long time on the strip!). My RS4 is considerably quicker than my 535d, so I'm surprised... wait till after next weekend for some up to date figures I guess!

RobK did i think 11.8 at the pod some time ago
its on video somewhere

You should look at 12.5 on a standard RS4

Might be worth getting a health check...

The RS4 60ft was 1.8 seconds so the launch seemed ok.

The M3 was SMG 2 and it did not like the starts so i can see that.

Maybe it was me i would love to see a video of another stock rs4 if anyone has any footage.

Please.

Wow thats slow

I did 13,8 in my Stage 1 chip'ed S4, got beat by a stock M3 at 13.6. Best get it checked over

my mk1 escort used to run 13,9s-14,s and i hope i can get into the late 13s on sat or i will be pissed..

1.6 60 ft, 12.9 on a very hot day, mid 30 celcius.

was running low 13's on other runs.

first time at drags as well and i suck.

Simon, I think that's slow mate - get a health check ASAP if i were you. I don't know what an RS4 should do, but stock RS2s run low 13s with idiots onboard when all is working well. I would have expected an RS4 to be at least as fast, and probably faster since it has an extra 65 bhp and not much extra weight.

I used to run an EVO 5 with 360bhp. it would eat my chipped S4. Most of these evos have over 300bhp standard and 340ish is easy with just increased boost and exhaust.

the rs2 has a much quicker 0-60 ft and the weight is a big advantage.

stock rs4 should do mid 13's

yeah, i know the RS2 is best at 0-60ft....... its better than pretty much anything else ever built off the line (0-30mph is an alarmingly brief 1.5sec). However, it gallops rather than surges once you get to 70mph, so i think (and your numbers would agree with it) that a stock RS2 and stock RS4 would be similar on a 1/4mile. It sounds like Simon's is over a second down, which suggests it has a problem.

Run 13.5 at pod couple of years ago with stage 1 (320bhp) on my S4.
Run two 12.5 in york last year with about (385bhp).
Looking to better that this saturday, with over 400bhp now.

Brett, was it your S4 (if you could still call it that ) that I saw at MRC on monday? looked sweet as a nut!
