Just discharged from the hospital post-surgery and a buddy of mine (who owns an RS4) picked up my RS4 from the hospital. He mentioned that my car seems to feel different from his in the following ways:

1. my car seems to be more rev-happy than his
2. my car feels like it has less power than his
3. my clutch feels more grabby, less smooth to engage, like an aftermarket clutch
4. my flywheel feels 'lighter'

both our cars are stock. Both are still under warranty.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Ever notice how some days your car feels faster than others? The ECU is constantly changing output parameters based on inputs, driving style, etc. Also, there is normal variation between engines. I guarantee that once you are used to the subtleties of your particular RS4, other people's car will feel just every so slightly different.

that's what i thought. Not like my RS4 is slow or doing something it's not supposed to.

may be considering a Revo flash in 2 to 3 months, and will see if the shop doing the flash will throw in a before/after dyno
