What are your thoughts on in city road race, 01 GT manual, vs RS4 Im assuming new one? He should be 4.8 0 to 60, specs are 4.2L DOHC with fancy intake manifold and exhaust, making 400+ crank hp and 300+ crank torque, though four wheel drive and automatic, weight is 3600 lbs. GT is stock engine specs, 5 speed, MGW short throw, thats about it.

I saw him doing some monkey donut tricks in traffic today, nothing fancy, Ive done worth. His acceleration caught my eye, I dont usually see german cars pull that way, but again, nothing fancy from my perspective.

Im thinking heavier car, with stiffer suspencion and four wheel drive, not to mention automatic trans, that needs a good driver to control. On the other hand, and as long as there arent big straight aways, I bet GT will be faster and easier to control. What your thoughts?

 

your gonna get your *** kicked REAL bad

 

He's got you by a bunch.Not even close.

 

Magazine #'s just for information.. Of course not always accurate.

2007 Audi RS4
4.2 V-8
HP - 420
Torqe - 317
0-60 - 4.7
1/4 - 13.2 @ 106.8.
Slalom - 70.6
Curb Weight - 3984 (I think)
Price - About $74,000!

My comments - I'm not sure your 01 GT is going to win this race, but look at it this way, you paid about $45,000 less and have almost the same performance!

It sounds to me like youre planning on weaving in and out of traffic in this race,, hence the 'having control' thing..

and, you'll get owned...

 

It's not going to be pretty, the RS4 is a fast car. Hell, the S4 is pretty quick.

 

Bring your vaseline so it doesn't hurt as much.

 

an S4 would beat you.. the RS4 is a grocery getter with flat-out race car performance

it WILL catch you by surprise and eat you for dinner

 

Yeah, no offence mate but, you might be bitting off more than you can chew with this one.
