Very nice!
So is it quick?
Smooth ride or rigid feel on stiff suspension?
You made a good color choice. Congrats!

suspension is extremely stiff. At first I wasn't sure about it and agreed with the reviews after the initial drive! However, after a while it soaks in and feels great...especially around corners. This thing holds the road like no other. Not A 911 Turbo (keep in mind this is a 4 door), S600, WS6 TA, SVT fords, GB mustang and the list of vehicles I have had or driven goes on and on. Take my word for it...it rocks! Thanks for the color comment! There was also a black & silver one there and everyone liked the gray the best...and so did I!
*I just tried uploading a profile pic...how long does it take to transfer? Does anyone know?

Yes, it is extemely quick. Has a subtle approach then strikes likes lightning! I think it has to do with the lower torque than HP? Before you know it, your at 80! The "S" button does make a differance but nothing major.

Sweet ride, congrats. Do you happen to be in the city of Orange, CA? I'm actually from there... or here.

Came with P-Zeros. I actually preferred them over the PS2's eventhough most think PS2's are the best. I also did not have a say in the matter. I am just happy it didn't come with "continental's"! Black interior and the piping looks great! I will post more pics of the Interior/exterior as soon as I feel like going through the hassle of downloading on my ****ty computer.
I also can't figure out why my profile pic has not posted? It has only been 10hrs since I tried but, can it take longer? Does anyone know?
The car is SICK. The stick/clutch is very smooth but has to be treated like a refined 40yr old miltf! HAHA! "She prefers to be handled with experience but can withstand one hell of a pounding". I love this f****** car!

"byinfluence"--I was born and raised in Cali. Grew up mainly in Orange and have lots of great friends out there...including some porn stars. I currently live in Atlanta, GA. If I was out there, I would be more than happy to meet up and show ya the ride.

But of course you can go for a ride! Hell if you own an S4... then I'll even let you drive it! Just let me know when your head'n this way Kelly.
I also noticed on your pics, wine grapes and bottles. Are you in the wine biz or do you just really like it? Either way is cool, however, I used to be an estate winemaker (youngest in US history) and my bro and I have a Winery in S. GA. We also run the largest wine making supplies company in the US. Lots of other Ventures but those are the main ones right now that are in the wine field. Check 'em out. Winery website is www.1810countryinn&winery.com and the "american Winemaking" site is www.uswinemaking.com Thanks for the comment!
PS-Buckhead is 5-10min from where I live.

Congradulations man, good to see another happy Audi owner. BTW, if your ever in Savannah, please tell me, I would love to see your ride in person.
PS: planning on any mods?

Trev,
Sick, sick ride......I currently have a black/black 2005.5. Thw RS4 looks freakin HOT. I have a couple of questions.....1.) and this is just out of curiosity, how is the MPG??? 2.) How long did you have to wait to get that sweet puppy, 3.) and if you don't mind, how much of a premium did you have to pay??? I love that color. I had wanted a dolphin grey S4, but the dealership that had one would not budge on the price. I ended up with my 2nd choice, the black, which is also super sharp.
I am one envious puppy. If I can not get my hands on one, I may have to look into that new APR Supercharger with some stiff springs and a new exhaust........would probably be cheaper, but I don't want to mod my baby....

Question replies. 1) MPG is OK but the FSI eats gas! Granted, I have only had it for 4 days...its hard to judge. However, I have used the "S" button maybe 3 times. The car is sick w/out it. If you really want to suck gas and kick A** push the "S" button. I have filled up once since Monday and it cost me $37.00 to fill up completely w/premium (93). Not too bad! Better than my R/T Durango...$65-75 for a single tank @93...once a week!
Waiting sucked! I had to get involved w/the regional director so I could get mine w/ the 1st batch! I was supposed to get it in September and I said F*** that! Long story short (ordered in March) you can tell my negotiating skills paid off!!! Takes a while dude! If you placed an order now (if you can find an allocation)...you wouldn't get one until Sept-December '06 earliest!
With interest, I am paying a little over $700 a month. That's for 7 years instead of 5! 6.7% for 7 years is almost impossible to find....but I did! w/out it, I wouldn't have bought it.
Color was hard to locate AND order but its worth it! I saw a black one and a silver one the day I picked up mine. DON'T ORDER A SILVER ONE! it looks plain and ugly. Black wasn't so bad but the top 3 colors are: Daytona gray, red, sprint blue. I like mine b/c it doesn't stand out (sleeper) but the other 2 (red, blue) look great in person. My 4th choice would be black. Don't waste you time on anything else!
They (audi) won't budge on the price but haggle for the following: 4yr free maintnance, at least $200 off your "doc fee", less than 7% for 7rs and $300 off the gas guzzler fee...which is $2,100! All of which I got, so its possible!
You don't need/want to mod it. The suspension is already stiff and there is plenty of power. Plus, if you ever want to sell it, those mods will decrease the value. DON'T MOD! Atleast for 4-5 yrs. Wait and see if audi discontinues the RS4 first.
