Todays Test Drive Was Bought To U By The Letter "s"


Recommended Posts

went for a test drive today in the only rs4 demo car in aus.

Its a bit like an m5 in that its a piece of cake to drive normally and goes quite hard, then you press "S" and it gets a little gruff. It pulls like a train in any gear all the way up to redline. 0-100 took all of "fu(k me that was fast, oh crap we're doing 160!"

The brakes on it are another thing, the brake peddal is stepped so that it is closer to the driver than the go fast peddal, so when you stomp them heal towing is easy to do, espically with the steering wheel that has a flat bottom.

All in all i want one, and am willing to pay one off over the next eleventy billion years.

nice one Jarrod. :D

Those things are so expensive I'm afraid to even look at one let alone drive it!

...adds to the list of things i will never own.

The real question is when will an Audi skunk works throw twin turbos on one?

MTM already has i think.......because the RS4 is too slow for those AUTOBARN freeks---Crazy germans

i remember reading something last month about some tool in NZ who ended up writing off one of the only RS4s in the country on a test drive haha

be pretty cool to be able to say it though...

"yeah... well i wrote off an RS4..."

drove the bosses Audi A3 turbo the other day and its actually a quick little f***er! front wheel drive is a bit of a shame because whack it in S and turn off the traction control and it will spin them easily... would be a blast tuned for a little more top end and rwd... they should do an RS3... I can only dream what an RS4 is like to drive

PCOTY I belive form Motor mag last year..or wheels cant remember have to dig it out.

I saw one not long back on some back roads past Warrendyte. I was on my way to work in the line and he gunned it. I gunned it...it was fast...but i dont thnk it totally cained it cos I kept up.

Yeah it was red. Its at doncaster, they have one on the showroom floor as well.

they do!!

last year they had a black one on BBS 19's sooo awesome! yeah mums got the S4 same engine but hasnt got all the track compontents like suspension as the RS4. give me the B4 series/model with the twin snails anyday. although the torqy v8 is awesome!

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
