Excellent summary.. Not driven it yet.. but I had the V8 in my S6 and it is fab.. but it won't quite have the cutting edge for RS fans!! [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/jump_clap.gif[/img]

For sound - just add MTM RS6 quad exhaust - if it fits

I would go for a new S4!
Main because the old one was prone to turbo failures alot and it is alittle dated now. [img]images/graemlins/colflash.gif[/img]
The new car is much more modern and has never gizmo`s etc.... interior it as you would expect for Audi, top notch. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
Performance wise it also is better then the old outgoing S4`s
Ok so you`ll have to pay alot, but you`ll have warranty and you know its brand new....... the smell of a new car.....mmmmmmm [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/s3addict.gif[/img]

Guys,
The V8 S4 was nice... But a 10mins blast is not enough .Give it to me for the weekend & I'll decide...?
My S4 Avant MTM was really nice ...& with it chipped was VERY close to the RS4 but ran out of puff around 5000 - where the RS4 keeps on pulling .

Replacing the OEM cats fixes that...
...but then so does buying an RS4!
