Resurrecting an old thread with new info...

The doofs at C/D drive the RS6 too!

They like it... but for some reason I don't think I'd be subscribing to a magazine that marks down a car's review cause they don't like the sound of it's blowoff valves!?! (Read their Supercar Challenge article)

The proof was there for the taking, and this is where its legend grows. So desired were the RS4 rockets that they became the Hope Diamond among car thieves. Of the first six quattro-built RS4s delivered in France, five were stolen. Gone. Au revoir. No smash-and-grab, this was a well-orchestrated, well-financed, well-executed professional team. It looked that way to one resident who enjoyed his RS4 for two weeks before it was whisked away without sanction.

?These guys knew what they were doing, alright,? he said. ?They broke into the house, stole the keys and were gone. They took nothing else.? The way he figures it?or the way it was explained to him by the local gendarmes?his RS4 became the spoils of the Russian underworld. While he had the car, he says he drove it like no other traffic-dodging creature he?s piloted, and that?s saying a bunch. Especially coming from the mouth of Indy 500-winner Danny Sullivan.

God! Couldn't they have stolen some Jeep Liberties?!?


Check out the brakes on that thing... Flat from 1900 almost all the way to redline? Wow...
