Guys, wanted to share my thoughts ith you guys.
on Monday I participated to the Belgian AUDI Sports Car Experience (www.asce.be).
and we had a total of 20 cars to test (10 R8 V10 and 10 S4 V6.
we were two per car, so we had the possiiblity to drive the cars pmenty of tiome durign the day. the afternoon was really making actual laps around the circuit at fast pace (without being a race of course).
I had done this activity last year on R8 V8, and was already please with the handling/chassis of the car, but owning a RS4 V8, was not that much impresed with the acceleration (logical, since its same engine).
but the V10 engine put you in a different world really.
now you have the performance that matche the beasty looks of the car... thsi car is simply perfect:
* handles like crazy, cornering is superb, you always feel confortabel that the car will not go where you do not want it to go even ar very high speeds
* brakes like crazy as well, with no fading
* OEM seat are really good although I would certainly take the optionnal bucket seats
* the sound of the OEM exhsust is already a piece of art, its magical to hear it really.
* the R tronic gearbox is a littel agressive when switching gear but is giving its performance
in other words, I'd have the money I'd had ordered ir yesyerday...
but I dont' and will order either TT RS or RS5 which is in my budget. I could buy a second hand R8 V8, but not interested, if I own a R8, it has to be a V10, V8 is not what the car deserves in my view...
