this is the outcome i expected but i'm actually impressed that the RS4 kept up that well.

RS4 Avant = 414bhp and ~3770lbs
Evo IX Stage II = 380hp and ~3285lbs (for a stock Evo IX)

having had a Evo 8 MR and now a RS4, i know which one i'd rather be in.

Cool race. The RS4 actually appeared to be gaining before they shut it down.

Life isn't all about drag races. If I pick up a client in my RS4, their reaction is predictably, "wow, nice car." If I were to pick up a client in a modded Evo, I don't think they would be nearly as impressed. At age 25, the Evo would've been good fun. At 37, however, the RS4 is a much better fit for me.

Ugh . . . Station wagons should not be drag-racing. Looks so awkward. Sorry guys . . .

As an RS4 sedan owner (which is 60kg lighter than the Avant) I'm pretty happy with that result.

Wonder if he had his carbon cleaned before that race?

^^doubtful...car looks like it's bone stock as well.

RS4 driver wasn't the swiftest shifter. If he was I think it would have been a dead heat because he lost ground badly on every shift.

All in all, a fun race to watch.
