Default The new RS4

If the new RS4 turns out to be a NA motor, I'd be inclined to get the new 2.0l A4 sportline w/6spd. With the hp numbers coming out of the 1.8s currently, a 400hp off the shelf tuner kit looks doable in the 2.0l, so I couldn't see myself spending the extra cash for a car that's heavier, has poorer weight distribution, and will likely cost in the high 50's. Am I wrong?

it does look like Porsche out did themselves w/the 997. So are they good in snow?

There's no way in hell it'll cost "in the fifties". An S4 cab loaded is almost $60K.

Default I would imagine with snow tires a C4 would be good in the snow...

except for that clearance issue :P

The 997 Carrera S isn't a C4 - it's 2 wheel drive
