Very interesting anecdote about the Lister Storm driver radioing the pits to get them to tell the safety car driver (of an RS4) to slow down in the wet so he could keep up! [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

[img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img] ok ok the RS4 maybe be better than the new S4 but the S4 is the one to bash the M3! [img]images/graemlins/jump.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Impressive stuff, nearly a second quicker than super quick M3 on a dry track, would have been more in the wet !

[Conti]

Correct!

[Riz_RS4]

Just sms`ed my cousin and mate (merc & bmw lovers)!

They always put the Audi down! [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img] now the can weep! [img]images/graemlins/jump.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/<beep>_you.gif[/img]

Damn it!!!! [img]images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img].

I was hoping it would get its [email]a@sed[/email] kicked by the M3. Instead, now I have a decision to make...do i get the RS4 or the new S4.

Hope the boys at Audi bring out a RS4 saloon or even better still a coupe, then no decision at all, apart from colour!!!! [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Riz, that point is now moot, and may well merit its own forum!

My curiousity a la new S4 was only piqued when someone on the board mentioned the poor fuel consumption : 17mpg IIRC, a very encouraging sign and now THIS?

I feel the need for a test drive coming on. Its the only way to settle the matter! [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It was a glorious episode of top gear. It was a shame the S4 couldn't equal the M3 in straight line too, but hey we all know that would change in the wet.

But the S4's track performance looked excellent. It appeared very well balanced and composed.

Well done Audi.

PS: glorious except fot that w##ker Richard Hammond. Calling the new A3 "just a golf" and "uncool". He really gets on my tits! [img]images/graemlins/rocketwhore.gif[/img] And is totally NOT funny.

"The S4 better than the M3" [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] - but I thought that the M3 is a great drivers car, beautiful engine, neutral handling, fantastic brakes etc, etc [img]images/graemlins/sleeping_2.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/sleeping_2.gif[/img]

But what's this? - what happened? Such good news for Audi and I think that perhaps what I have long believed about the Audi S4 being packaged for woolly jumpered middle aged men is bollox and Audi have indeed excelled themselves this time.

Looking forward to a test drive and reading lots more positive reviews from the likes of Evo which confirm that the S4 is indeed "better" than the M3. [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

[Chins]

Damn Damn Damn

I was hoping to see the S4 get bashed, then I could get the idea of buying one out of my head [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I am seriously tempted, not because of Top Gear, although that will help the image and therefore the residuals [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The new S4 sounds like a great car -

[flame suit on] only thing is I still think the M3 looks better.. [/flame suit off for now]

Audi have always understated the looks of the S4 - so when the new RS4 comes along (it is coming, isn't it? [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]) it won't be overshadowed by the S4 [img]images/graemlins/jump3.gif[/img]
