Foosh -> New RS4 Owner (4/21/2008 10:17:34 AM)

After looking for a few months, I stumbled across the opportunity to pick up a very nice, fully-equipped, 8 month-old RS4 with 7K miles. I've haunted many a car forum over the years, and currently still own an 06 C6 ZO6, a Lotus Elise, and a Shelby Cobra 427SC replica. I owned an A4 1.8T a few years back, and always enjoyed driving it even though I found it underpowered.
As for the RS4, oh my heavens! It certainly isn't as fast as the Z06, assuming it is able to achieve traction. I have some track time the Z06, but you have to work hard and have some skill go fast in a Z06 without hurting yourself bad. After all of 2 days of solid, heavy rain in the RS4, I am nothing short of awe-struck. This thing just goes fast effortlessly in good or bad conditions. Even though it's 800 lbs. heavier and short 85 HP, I'm guessing I could turn about the same lap times in each, given my experience level, which is pretty limited.
I am incredibly impressed, and I look forward to learning from the masters here. Hopefully, at some point, I'll even contribute a thing or two.
