Nice! 0-60 in 4.3 in a car without the premium package.

Default Premium package might add 10 - 15 lbs to the car max...

It's the dunroof delete and not ticking the rear side airbags that will make the most difference.

Default and if you take off the V8 badges, you lose 10-15 lbs to cancel out the premium pkg's weight...

ok not really

Default Re:If would be nice if the RS4 weighed 500lbs less...

There is 60 extra pounds just in the front seats over the European version. If it weighed 500lbs less it would likely lap just as fast as the C4S and be faster in a straight line.

Also, to say that the C4S sits 4 is a joke. I want to see 4 200 lbs people fit in that car. Of course 5 200 lbs in a RS4 wouldn't be extremely comfortable either for 4 would be OK.

Why does an RS4 weigh almost as much as an E55?

Default Not worth it.

This is a luxury car afterall, the premium package and sunroof are what make it so enjoyable.

If I wanted to drive an empty bullet, i'd have the rear seats removed too.. Common, it's an Audi, not an Evo..

Default Edmunds has vastly different RS4 numbers than R&T

Better braking time, better slalom, better skidpad, etc.

What's going on? And yet R&amp;T has a better 0-60?

This is not making sense.
