hmmm.. trouble looming for the B7 RS4?
<a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rs4b7/msgs/3282.phtml">One customer's RS4 being shipped back to AOA for diagnosis...after 125 miles of ownership</a>
The new RS4's launch was delayed to engine issues. They are shipped with different spark plugs to cope with the constant start/kill of the engine during shipping. Before delivery to the customer (during the PDI) the "shipping" plugs are swapped out for different ones.
Sensitive engine eh? I know the B6 S4 folks were having issues with their engines....could a strung out RS4 4.2 be asking for worse?

Well consider that even many of the Euro rs4's are thought to be vastly under powered
compared to the quoted 414 bhp and 8200 rpm numbers. Rs6.com has some discussions on this.
