Default Audi RS4 0-100-0 15.80sec Ranking #18 out of top 30 World's Fastest Cars.....

"One of the measures of sporting performance that's rarely used but highly relevant when measuring extreme automotive performance is the zero to 100mph and back to zero time. It incorporates both acceleration to a suitably ridiculous speed and braking from that speed to the safety of standstill again and it's more of a guide to sporting prowess than simple standing start quarter mile times.":-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.businessweek.com/autos/content/jul2006/bw20060706_688166.htm?chan=autos_autos+index+page_ news">http://www.businessweek.com/autos/content/jul2006/bw20060706_688166.htm?chan=autos_autos+index+page_ news</a</li></ul>

Default That is some pretty nice company the RS4 is keeping

although some supercars seem to not be on that list.

CGT, Zonda and a few others.... but really, that is kind of knit-picking as the RS4 holds four people and can be driven in the snow with ease.... try that with any of the sports cars on that list... except the other VAG product on that list:^)

Including the bloody amazing Veyron. If I had the bucks, I would have one just for bragging rights.

If everyone could have one it would loose its allure. Part of why I like the RS ;-)

Default That is crazy that the veyron can go 0-60 in 2.8 secs. Also -->

"But the 1890kg ?880,000 Bugatti ripped through the gears to hit 60mph in 2.8sec and 100mph in an astonishing 5.5sec. It then stopped in just 3.4sec, giving a 0-100-0mph time of 9.9sec.

Not only is the Bugatti faster than the Suzuki, it creates more g-force at maximum acceleration than you'd experience in an F-16 jet fighter at take off or when skydiving."

That is insane...

BTW, 200 MPH, that's right 200 MPH in less than 20 seconds! Some test have seen the 0-60 in 2.5 secs

Default It gets even better then that... if a BMW McClaren F1 went by a Veryon standing still at 100mph

and the Veryon took off at that point the Veryon would STILL reach 200 mph faster then the McClaren. F'ing crazy!!!

The McClaren was the standard for sooo long.

It just goes to show us that $1 million will still buy a good car.
