That's it entirely. NA and turbo engines are different beast and the power delivery should not be compared. It takes time getting used to a NA engine after driving a turbo charged car. It took me weeks/months of getting used to mine and at first I thought my old car, S3 Stage II, was quicker than the current car, S4, but that was purely due to the shove in the back when the turbo kicked in.

To summarise:-

In standard form the B7 RS4 is a better car. Tuning potential is greater with the B5, production numbers will be higher on the B7 (so what), all Audi's depreciate, they are both great cars and for it's era the B5 was a cracking car!!!! :lol: :wink:

Audi will give the B7 the same treatment as the TT, build as many as you can sell.... remember the TT was originally only going to be limited production run of 5000 of each type..........thats more like 5,000,000 in todays money...
Stop stop stop. You could not be more wrong. Maybe the B7 will be made in slightly larger quantities than the B5 RS4, but no waaaay is it going to breach 8000 total for the entire 3 year run, and that is global.

You're comparing those numbers to a TT?

GIVE me a break!!!

Here in the states the car is still new and rarer than hell. I get maybe 30 comments PER DAY on this car.

In a year I bet I will still be getting comments, maybe down to 10 a day :)

Tell me not to take the post off topic? its been off topic for a while.

Anyway, back on topic, yeah I dunno about Audi making a SC'd RS4. I can buy an RS4+ though. Or maybe not.
