Chris Harris on the new RS4, with a nice retrospective on the originals...

 

I think this is a repost cfc

 

I looked in the Audi forum... either way, it's good shit.

 

C63 wagon? That would be awesome!

It was a relatively negative review of the new RS4. I am surprised.

 

He said it's good, just not good enough. I can imagine why - Audi is going down the road of "tech-ing" everything to death. Not good IMO. Makes me want to go buy another B7 RS4 (or a C63!).

 

Repost but you know me and I could careless. I'm a HUGE fan of the RS. Such a big fan of the B5 RS4, but I agree the B7 is the best IMO.

 

C63 Performance Package is really something, the car feels great for a daily driver. If you want more performance out of it, you can get KW Clubsports coil over suspension that would be insane. The Stock C63 handles terrifically, it's truly astonishing and I've driven it in both street & track (Yas Marina F1 Circuit) and I can say it's closer to a CLK63 BS in driving than a E63.

If you're ever thinking of a C63 Chris, get the face lifted model because it has the MCT gearbox (similar to SL63) and with the performance package you 30 hp power upgrade to 487hp ,forged pistons (same as SLS AMG) newly -developed connecting rods and revised crankshaft. On the MB forums the 487hp is underrated by Mercedes and there are dyno's showing it putting down more than 505hp (flywheel).

 

I hadn't seen this before. Thanks for posting Chris!

 

Test driving an RS5 Sat.
Really miss my RS4

 

Thanks habibi - I'm strongly considering the C63, XF-R, others if I get the job in CA.

You're welcome - I was stoked too.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the RS5 after all the negative reviews. I really like it.
