It's a shame that we do not get the European steering wheel or seats...................... I'm thinking we have too many lawyers around these days.

I assume it's a high 12sec car @110 on a good day. Still breaking the car in so I will not be at the track for awhile.

I think I'll keep this car stock.

I knew going in that the RS4 would not be at the top of the sedan food chain.

good choice, congrats
i'd love a dark blue one with white/silver interior

and yes euro steering wheel/seats, US market got shafted on that one
but on the other hand it's just hot, and exhaust/engine noise is symphony

Don't forget WHITE as well - was hunting for a white RS4 before I decided on the 06 e55

You are a moron.

Moving on. Congrats, Rock. The most agressive looking sedan on the market. The twin oval pipes, the wheels, the arches, the brakes- it looks like pure sex. I saw a yellow one today which totally ruined the whole point of the car but in black or gray the thing is unbeliveable. I've come up againt two and been killed both times. The exit speed from tight bends is going to leave 99.99percent of things behind. They just stick with those 255s sharing the power.

Once more, congrats. One of the most exhilarating cars on the road. As for a V8 with an 8,250 redline For me, the new M3 is just not going to match up and I'm a BM guy.

transferred,

Thanks my man. That is exactly what drew me to this car. I am also a big BWM guy (one E36 M3 and two E46 M3s) but this car is just a completely different animal. I cannot wait to get this thing broken-in. I need to hear 8250rpms so bad!!!

Thumbs up Congratulations, Rock

Stunning vehicle. Everything about that car is so right and those 8-piston brakes are just plain nasty. Additionally, it attracts only the right kind of attention and is a very rare sight even here is lala-land. You'll enjoy many happy miles in it i'm sure
