Default Sorry guys, Here is the Dyno vid of the 07 RS4...

FYI this is a very low reading dyno, my car made 403whp on 100oct. Stock B5 S4 is 170-190whp. The guy def did not want to do any pulls with me when this was over.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK6ZNG8hZVU">click</a></li></ul>

RS4 has Haldex, much more of a drivetrain loss.

Default no, the RS4 does not have haldex, it definitely has a torsen diff.

Haldex is strictly used in transversely mounted engine applications, ala A3, GTI, TT, etc.

Says it right here:

That car is not making anywhere near 420 crank hp.

Default You guys should care, really.

But something tells me the majority of the owners of these cars are far too proud to a. care, b. do anything about it.

Default Maybe you should tell Audi Gmbh that your car has more power than the B7 RS4

Who knows they might stop the production of the current RS4 or maybe redesign the engine. If the B7 RS4 is only making 280whp then my Audi tt 225 has more than that with my current modification.And it only has 4 cylinders!!

It doesn't make sense if Audi make 280whp and selling it at premium price. Can the B7 RS4 do 0-60 in 4.8 sec with all the weight and only 280whp??? Some manage to do 4.2 sec with the RS4.

Default do what?

as I've said numerous times, try to focus on the real world performance. if you average all of the independent performance testing of this car, you'll see 0-60 in about 4.5s and the 1/4 in 13.0s. if you know of another STOCK european sport sedan with AWD and a new-car warranty that can match that level of performance for less than $75k, I'd love to hear about it.

Default No kidding. But keep posting these reasons you talked yourself out of the RS4

because they remain amusing...

You want people to take action based on completely unverifiable movies. I am not acusing anyone, but I can write a program in 5 minutes that runs on a PC and looks like a dyno output in realtime.

What does that mean? Who is doing the dyno? What is the history on that RS4? And so on?

The bottom line is that on the road we are seeing performance that is in line with what the magazines have reported. So what exactly should we be unhappy about?
