Hallo everyone,
I recieved my RS4 yesterday and I have some thoughts that I wanted to share in the best Audi forum I know!
In August last year I went with some other lucky guys to Barcellone on the Circuto de Catalunya to try the pre production RS4 sedan on an Audi Driving Experience Event. Well as you might have heard it was fantastic.
Very well organised, beautiful sourrandings, really nice people and the cars were breath taking.
In november I went Again on the Nordschleife and I had the same feelings (I was only a passenger back then).
Two days ago i went to to the Nordschleife but with BMW Fahrer Training on the M3 (E36) and It was very nice I must say but I knew that the best of it all was yet to come.... The delivery of my new RS4 the day after I came back from the most demanding course on earth. I thought well well I had fun with the BMW toy let's play with a real driving machine now.
I set in and when I pushed the button the stupid grin was glued on my face... wait patiently to warm my baby up wait for the ol to reach temperature and here we go blasting the turns of the Mt. Blanc.
Riding through the tunnel and reached Italy for a series of really high speed cornering on the motorway.
This car is so much fun. I reach my destination.
Yesterday when I went to sleep I was thinking of the previous experiences and I realised that the car is not as fast as I expected. I mean 420 horses in the hood should pull like mad... but they are not! well not as much I thought they did. Not that much more (if any) than the M3.
Does the engine need to get loose? will it improve with time? or should I bring it to the dyno and see if is up to the spec Audi declares?
One more thing It drinks fuel like i breathe air! but is worth every penny you are willing to pay when the revs reach 6-7k.
Like Clarkson said in his review "it screams like a wounded tiger"
