Actually, it's not fishy; it's totally false!! True figure is 17 sec...(m)
This site claims 17.7 sec. from 0-120 mph:
http://www.vwvortex.com/features/99_RS4/
This page has test results with 0-120 in 16.4, 0-130 in 20.5, and standing km (1000m) in 23.5 sec at 137.7 mph (faster than the M3 OR the F355; btw, why'd you post specs for the 355 instead of the current, much-faster 360?)
http://www.btinternet.com/~rs4/rs4/mag-article/fast-estate/rs4-festate-04.jpg
This test also produced 0-120 in 16.4, 0-130 in 20.5
http://www.btinternet.com/~rs4/rs4/mag-article/fourth-estate/fourth-estate-05.jpg
This test claims 0-125 mph in 17 seconds:
http://www.btinternet.com/~rs4/rs4/mag-article/car-july00/car-july00-08.jpg
This one got 0-200 km/h (124 mph) in 17 flat

I *thought* that 20 second figure looked like horse hooey!! :-)<p>'00 S4

Just come from getting 328 serviced at Dick Lovett Bristol UK
they have no such data and acknowledge RS4 as quicker than both new (untested)M3 and M5.
On M3 they it will be marginally quicker than outgoing 321, Apparantly 340 bhp and new rear diff is nearly countered by extra weight of new M3.
I have a unfuelled RS4 outside where it will stay until UK gov't get their act together on fuel debacle. I'd love to supply some personal data, but UK Autocar tested fully last week and had RS4 at 1.7 0-30, 4.7 0-60, and 17.6 0-125, 11.2 qtr brand new tight out of the box, if my memory serves me right. It was significantly faster than M5 and 996 over all speed marks and in gear increments.
M3 has it's work cut out and will have to only play on dry days. Nice cars though although 328 is frankly underwelming.

Yeah, our chipped S4's probably do 0-120 in 20.x seconds (+/- 1 sec.)

US and UK get different standard equip..
US will not get Xenon standard. I have heard this from numerous people on this board and bimmer.org.
Also will offer slightly different color selection. As for other interior options I am not sure, I had heard that full leather is an option for US, but not 100% on it.
