How Fast?

Post by twotoots&yeroot » Sat Oct 15, 2011 4:40 pm

How Quick is an RS4 in real world driving compared to cars such as the Focus RS or an Evo 9 FQ360?

I assume the turbo'd cars would have an advantage over the normaly aspirated engine until the RS4 engine builds to serious revs?

you have to catch it right, if your at 5krpm then you'll take em, esp when you go past 100

start at 2/3krpm, they will be gone and you wont catch em

Would adding a Miltek system make any diffirence to the way the RS4 performs further down the rev range?, i see it appears to be generally considered as one of the best upgrades to go for.

cat back systems are only really a noise upgrade, although I believe they can improve throttle response.

I think you need to look at cats and a remap before you really feel the benefit
RS3 8P 2013 Phantom Black with Ally Pack and Black Optics Grille | LED Interior and number plate lights - GONE :(
RS4 B7 2006 Phantom Black with Titan alloys and mirrors - GONE :(
