Rs4 Vs M5

Even though this is an example of what not to do I thought it was a great in car POV of a FWY race between an RS4 and M5. I was surprised at the power of the Audi as it really seems to pull the M5 when they were both on it.

I saw an RS4 down in LBI the other day and I was trying to get him to run. We lined up at a stoplight and he wouldn't look at me, so I pressed the good ol' M button and mashed the hell out of the throttle, and laid a 10ft. smokey strip. Nothing.

The reason why the Audi seemed to pull on the M was, once again, the narrow power band of the M5. On the highway, if you're not already at 7k rpms when you get on it, you've got a little wait until you're back at full power, and you'd better be shifting at redline.

That's what twin turbo will do for you against NA V8. No way to compare...LOL.

I did have a run in w/ a '07 Rs4 in a CLS55 the other day... Rs4 was strong, but did not keep up.

Nice race though! Thats not the stock RS4, that car is MTM and it has something around 640BHP, thats why the M5 got smoked so bad. The driver of BMW M5 is known as "M5RUS" or something like that on m5board. The thing happened in Moscow.

The whole time I was watching that, I was expecting an accident to eventually happen. Man, did they squeeze in there a few times. Luckily, I care about my life not to drive that stupid in heavy traffic.

Thats a E39... RS4 will own the crap out of that car. My a4 is slow low down, top end its more powerful due to Ram air actually working and turbo breathing right.
