Default ok who are you and what have you done with my old RS4......

This morning it was a cool 50-something degrees out. I had the temp set on 74 so the car didnt have the AC on. I never felt the car perform so well. It just kept pulling at any speed, it felt like an AMG or something I need to move myself to a cold climate just for this car. The exhaust seemed to sound a little better also. I am at 6k miles.

Pressing the Econ button switches the AC off too.

Default Come to Colorado. It was -40F last winter. This car is going to haul....

when it gets that cold again. I can't wait. The only disadvanatge is the altitude. I live @7000 feet and the cold will make the car perform like it was at sea level. Let it snow!!!

Default the rs4 keeps up pretty well with the gallardos. I think it will do better with an exhaust and

intake.

Default If you mod the Intake you'll want to periodically test the oil for silicon.

You want to be sure you're not injesting road grit.
