Nogaro is such an awesome color. This is the exact color combo I had on my B5 S4 when I bought it in 1999.

It does have a quicker ratio than the standard EPS if memory serves...but didn't seem to make a huge difference to me.

I will admit the steering system is demonic until I used VCDS to disable the DSR system. Once that got shut down the car was 100x better. The only problem now is the steering is still super over boosted. At least its no longer try to tell me how to steer the wheel or adjusting the boost levels mid corner. I just drove an RS5 today with dynamic steering and the feel between comfort and dynamic was remarkable. Comfort on the RS5 is like dynamic in the S4. Dynamic in the RS5 feels like dynamic did in my 2012 S4.

Dynamic steering on the RS 5 was tuned by quattro GmbH to avoid unpredictable steering effort and ratio changes mid-turn when in Dynamic setting.

Wow. Just like the B5 S4 I've always wanted. Stunning purchase. I think they only made 21 of those.
