Sorry John but i was impressed witht he level of handleing the car showed on the test drive, and as most guys up this neck of the woods will tell you the salesman is not telling you to slow down. The road is twisty and lumpy so you get a good test of the handling of the car.The brakes are vastly improve from the B5 RS4 and would say that it is a natural progressen from the B5. The only real down side is that you will not get any were near the level of mod's that the guys on here have reached. (but this was all on a test drive)

So an extra 20 BHP and the car can't handle correctly?

Doesn't sound right to me!

From an exhaust? Some bit of kit!
