Yup, with AWD, 420HP, and a true manual transmission that you can launch from, the RS4 should kill the C55 in a drag race from a standing start. This should be no surprise to no one.

Make no doubt, the RS4 is a huge step above the C55/M3/S4, in almost every performance aspect. We'll see if the next C-AMG and new V8 M3 will catch up.

The RS4 is going to be quite a bit more expensive than the C55/M3/S4 here in Canada. The current 2006 C55 costs $73600 CAD. The M3 is slightly more expensive at $74400 CAD. The S4 is the cheapest at $69650 CAD.

My source at my Audi dealer says the 2007 RS4 will cost ~$90000 CAD. To give you non-Canadians perspective, the current E55 costs $117745 CAD and the M5 costs $115500 CAD.
