RS4 a work of art Its a 4door sedan with awd. The R8 is a different exotic looking car. But for the price its underpowered.

ProjectC55

324rwhp 349rwtq weighs 3360lbs without me in it CLK55 is about 80lbs heavier more or less.

I say the CLK55 will give a stck RS4 hell up top.


Fastest modded W208 CLK55(full exh,NO TUNE,NO CAMS,Long Tube headers,modded intake, infact ran a 12.3 @113mph what is the fastest

time run by a modded RS4 in the 1/4 mile.

EvilllEmpirE

Yup......the RS4 is absolutely a work of art aesthetically, it is agressive.....beautifully crafted.....absolutely gorgeous. Much nicer to the eyes than your CLK55 fer sure

Don't forget it'll leave that thing for dead as soon as there's a twist in the road ;-)

To be honest, I didn't understand what all the hoopla was about until I took delivery of mine and had it for a few days. There is more to life than straight line speed. And I've got the B5 for that kind of fun anyhow.

TwentyValveB5

"modded" RS4s aren't any faster than stock ones, at least not on 91 octane. The motor's already pretty strung out at 100hp/L and an 8200 RPM redline.

RS4 with a Milltek Catback did a 12.5 @ 110 on 93 octane.

Not bad for a stock two-ton car.

I'll be taking it to the 1/8 in a couple weeks, hopefully with Vomit here, and we'll see what mine does bone stock.

Jons95c36amg

Yeah its still a overpriced 4door sedan. For my Clk55 I only payed $20k last yr with low miles. It also was overpriced when new. The new Camaro SS with 425hp is a nice muscle coupe. Its a damn bargain for $34k. Put boltons on that it will be running 11s for sure. Still waiting for the excitement to settle. So I could get a really good deal Hey I just like coupes

Vomit

Then you need to add a Hyundai Tiburon to your stable. Talk about bang for the buck.

Jons95c36amg

The Tiburon is a econo car no performance at all. But the new Camaro SS runs in the 12s out of the box. But I would still have my AMGs.

TwentyValveB5

I got a pretty good deal on the RS4 that I couldn't pass up. $0/mo for two years... not so bad. ;-)

You can pick up stage 3 B5 S4s for < $20k and they'll run 11s all day long. Now, I bought mine stock and dumped way too much into it, but we'll leave that for another thread.

Akademiks

I thought I talked a lot of none sense smack.

Militant-Grunt, I regret my previous attacks towards you in regards to the situation with Jon-- I can definitely see why the hostility.

Vomit

Perhaps the note of sarcasm in my post was lost on you.

LawRens

Mmmm-mmmm. 160 Horsepower V-6! Them tiburons got mighty engines there...

Jons95c36amg

I talk alot of smack? I'm just expressing my opinion newbie. Like I said the RS4 looks like any 4door Audi to most people. Plus its underpowered for its price.

Jons95c36amg

I still wouldnt buy a highly maxed out boost car no matter how cheap it is. So even though you pay less then 20k for a car like that. What about the reliability down the road?

Akademiks

Your expressing your ignorance.

Jons95c36amg

What are you like 10? I think your daddy is calling you

Akademiks

mm... good one.

EvilllEmpirE

wondering why you think it is "High Boost" The B5 S4 Motor has been show to be able to take 22-28 PSI allday long......cast iron block takes a pounding and has been shown to be reliable up to 600+ HP. I run anywhere from 19-22 PSI on mine.....and it has been a trouble-free daily driver for the last 65k miles (since I went K04s and running "higher boost")

Jons95c36amg

Its like the Supra guys saying their cars are iron block so many overboost them and the motors detonate

TwentyValveB5

Do you know what happens when you assume? Get a clue before you go making assumptions.

...and your CLK55 looks more like a regular CLK than the RS4 does an A4. There's actually not much shared between an A4 and RS4... different interior, door panels, side skirts, trunk lid, quarter panels, hood, engine, transmission, differentials, brakes, springs, shocks, sway bars, grilles, bumpers, exhaust, gauge cluster, wheels, side mirrors, trim, steering wheel... headlights, switches, and stereo are the same though!
When you think about how low in volume the RS4 is, and how many one-off parts Audi (quattro GmbH) made for it... it helps explain the price. Sure, I still wouldn't pay the nearly $79k sticker that my RS4 has on it, but it's still a pretty special car when you actually know a thing or two about it. It received the accolades and recognition that it did in the automotive press for a reason... just like the CLK63 black isn't just a "regular" Mercedes, or even a "regular" AMG.

ProjectC55

Jon now I know you're talkng garbage and u need to quit while u think ur ahead!
You sound pretty clueless about boosted cars and pretty much cars in general. And your constant dissrespect of the Audi's is blatantly ignorant and pretty darn annoying.

Jeez since you've went from your Nissan then a C36 to a CLK55 your atttitude has gotten worse.

I woder what r your thoughts on paying over 130k for a CLK63 BS

EvilllEmpirE

diarrhea come much out of your *ss?

Jons95c36amg

Attitude? what attitude? To each its own if certain people like Audis. But we are in a Benz forum. About paying 130k for a Clk63 BS is insane.

Jons95c36amg

I'm not assuming anything. Go to the forum and get the facts. Yeah I know my Clk55 looks like any Clk body. But what I payed for a used one was a bargain. Don't get me wrong the RS4 is a nice car but overpriced. The C63 is a bargain for $60k. The 4doors is holding me back to buy one.

TwentyValveB5

What forum? what facts? I'm on the Audi boards all day long, and have been for years. K04'd cars, daily drivers capable of 11s and trapping 120+, don't grenade and can last 100k miles, if not more. The idiots who are blowing motors either don't know what they're doing or are really pushing the envelope.
