While I don't doubt your results, your car is modded. I realize the RS4 was as well, but now were in a different ball game. How much HP is your C55 pushing out?
I would like to see a W208 vs. the RS4. I'm pretty confident the quattro advantage would help it off the line and the HP advantage will keep it pulling up top.
In the end though, I would still take the RS4. It's a work of art that car...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Hey I just like coupesYou 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.

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.

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

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")

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.

...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.

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

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.

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

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.
