Default My salesman asked me the same thing, are you going to track the car? I have a ........

track one hour west of my house and NASCAR is talking about building one two hours east in Mobile AL. So I guess my answer would be if I can afford the car why not buy the RS. I just may want to run it at the track and if I do I want to have the RS instead of an S4 and buyers remorse.

Default Surprsingly, I do agree with the article. However...

I did not buy an RS4 based on whether I would get $20k more value out of it than an S4. I bought it because I wanted the best variant of a particular platform. My wife and I have always subscribed to this philosophy. In any type of product we buy, we look for a range that we can afford, then buy the best within that range. Why bother killing ourselves to get into a higher range and then buy tne base model? That just smacks of wannabe-ism.

3rd - it's the polite and correct thing to do here - do not make people subscribe to see things.

Screwed either way due to copyright laws. At least what he posted was legal.

Default As long as I can run their new track I don't care what they call themselves.......

The complex will boast four racing venues: oval, road course, dirt track and drag strip.
ROAD COURSE
3.5 mile road course in two distinct, but connecting, sections to provide for unique testing capabilities.
Investigating drive-on, drive-off condo/garage combinations.
Some climate-controlled seating planned in addition to permanent seating and traditional infield expanse used for road-racing spectators.

By the way, I never said I was a NASCAR fan it just sounds like a nice track.<ul><li><a href="http://www.alabamamotorsportspark.com/">http://www.alabamamotorsportspark.com/</a</li></ul>
