Been to drive an S4 B6 today, need to go out in an RS4 B5. I would like to be taken out in one with similar performance to the one I have been thinking of buying (450-470bhp)
If anyone has one and fancies takin me for a spin that would be great. I live in West Sussex.
Many thanks.

I'm in Kent if of interest, happy to take you for a spin...
475bhp.
Although I'm on the eastern side of Kent... Maybe too far for you?

Stumpy, what have you had done to get that power?

Should qualify it's not proven on the RR yet. Will be getting 'real' figures at the SRS session in 2 weeks time.
However that said it should be there or there abouts. The MAF reading equates to a figures of 475.1bhp.
Mods include gutted DPs, Scorpion catback system, MRC/ITG airbox and MRC Custom Map.
Chalk and cheese to standard RS4's...

I'll not be overly impressed if I get 40-odd bhp less than the MAF reading states!
I was in simple1's RS4 at CC and he's supposedly got c530bhp. Mine was 'slightly' slower but say there wasn't alot in it...

the calculation off the MAF can give a variance of at least 20 bhp
best not to trust it 100%
you may be disappointed on the rollers!

I have to agree, however I hope you are not too dissapointed
Doesn't really matter, IMO, how many horses you have, especially on track, as cars with 100bhp more can find it difficult to pass

MAF calculation is a bit generous IMO.
Mine was similar to Daces on the track and he's running about 460ish iirc

rhunter203 has a similair spec to yours stumpy and hes made 450 bhp and 518 lbs/ft which i think i would be very happy with . That torque figure is very impressive
