Clean pair if heels from the rs4 but still crazy.

That B5 RS4 certainly has some body roll in it. Fast in a straight line and long sweepers but the Scooby has it in tighter bends.

LOL - that's a post straight from SN

Isn't it just

You can see the benefit of the scooby's mid-range boost and cornering ability, the only place the RS4 had the advantage was on the high speed straights.

Stll, I certainly know which car i would rather be sat it in...

SN? Just saying it as I see it. B5 RS4's are mega cars, but they are dynamically flawed.

Scoobynet - a former stomping ground for a few of us

In standard form yes, however fit a set of Bilsteins and the difference is night and day. The RS4 was on standard suspension.

some near misses there!

some ARBs needed as well

Me a former SN'r too! Although the "6 Type-R" was sold in '04. Never been back since.

Sorry, back on topic. Audi

Its always easier to follow (in traffic) - hence why the scooby seemed to be good. Put both on a race track and i think the rs4 would ek away. Also - suspect that the scooby ain't standard (listen).

The phrase, "but the Scooby has it in the <tighter> bends" is written and quoted v.often on SN, or at least it used to be. It was quite comical, it didn't matter what car you had, how many HP you had, how many mods you had, some die hards just wouldnt' have it that anything could be faster than their Scooby. And even if it did, the Scooby driver wasn't trying.......

Not having visited SN I wouldn't know that. I tried a standard B5 RS4 before my RS4 and it's handling is not a patch on the B7 in that it doesn't carry speed through corners to the same manner but is ballistically quick ina straight and FI can make it feel faster then NA. Highly tunable no doubt and I'm sure new suspension and ARB's would help but then you could do the same to the B7 and make it even better than the tuned B5 in terms of handling?

It's like the M5board.com vid's of standard RS4's against tuned and mapped 335i's or M3 in straight line drags, not really a level playing field.
