What car would you take to participate in the gumball race?

I would take this RS4 i found on RS4.org ; looks great, enough comfort and space and last but not least, it's bloody fast (+700 hp :bow: )

b.t.w. this is the adress : http://193.114.47.4/aspforums/topic.asp?topic_id=2582

I composed a similar thread (http://www.bmwm5.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17446) at BMWM5.com sometime ago after I witnessed the Gumball send-off in NYC. If I have to choose again today, I will pick the MTM RS6 Avant and bring some girls along for the ride :D :incar: :blush: :race:

There will maybe be a Bugatti in the next Gumball...but a gumball RS6 would be nice too!

owkay, so this topic is not original, sorry for that

it looks like the RS4 is quite popular among "gumball-racers"
(which is off course absolutely normal). As far as i can see there's only one M3, but 3 RS4's and a few S4's.:D

This movie: http://www.teckademics.com/mischief3000.html is from the Gumball and features both that red one and the blue quite a lot. It seemed as if every time the guys with the camera passed someone who had been stopped by the poilce, one of those two was always there. Especially the blue one. "Damn, the Audi again?" :D

They asked the guy who drove the blue one how many times he had been fined, and he say something like ten times in a couple of days. :bigeyes:

The red one lost a wheel too. :rolleyes: At pretty high speed. I guess they kept pushing real hard all the time.

There was an F50 there too, he got caught doing something like 190mph. Straight to jail. :cry:

It has to be very irritating to have a Porsche or Ferrari and still have trouble outrunning a normal estate. :bye:

it depends on what you call "normal" of course, but indeed that feeling must be great, especially when your competitor doesn't know A RS4 and thinks it will be easy:hihi: :hihi:
