Default RS4 weight issue...people feeling it?
RS4 owners...I'm wondering if you can feel the weight at nearly 4000k lbs. Aside from the power and stiff suspension, do any of you feel the weight in lateral movement, braking, etc?

Default car feels very light until you drive it near the limit...
then it feels like the porker it is but still loads of fun.

Default frankly..
I feel that the car is heavier than my S4. maybe its not the weight i'm feeling though, but the increased rigidity of the car's structure, i cannot be sure yet as i've only logged a few hundred miles on her.

but its not an issue that effects the car, at least not yet. it is very agile and very fast.

Default On the street it masks the weight very well...
Maybe it will show its weight on the track, but I haven't found that out yet.

Default well...by definition, most professional bodybuilders are obese.
the performance is there, so I don't care what it weighs.
