i would go for the s4 or c32 for sure. but if i had to pick one it would be the c32

[Jimster]

Where is the M3 and why is the S Type R- which is a class above and much more expensive inculded????

If it's the V8 S4...hands down

If it's the TT S4...still hands down!


LOL

i'd take the S4 TT V6. The new V8's are nice but i like the styling of the older ones better.

6spd manny tranny.

i'll take the s4.

and yeah, the older tt model please... you can get so much power from them...

and i just like the sleeper look compared to the high profile merc.

understated car, overstated power. thanks... s4 please

Give me an S4 Avant, it's everything a car should be.
It's as practical, safe, luxurious and comfortable as a regular A4 Avant and it's faster then a BMW M3 on the track.
Folowing in the lines of the RS2, RS4 and RS6, it's a car you can use for everything, not just a track car, a grocery getter or a autobahn locomotive.

I’ll take the C32. At least it’s a car that’s “comfortable with itself”. There’s no pretense of it being a great drivers car, unlike the S4, which fails at that… Pischetsrieder himself criticised Audi as having no direction, or idendity, so expect some changes…

no . . . it really isnt (faster then an M3 around a track, that is)

[Deakins]

And why would you say that?
I guess you have driven a S4?

[BlOOe46]

i actually have a video of a new s4 avant being chased down by an e46 M3 after one lap, would u like to see it? (the max file size wont allow me to post it)

[Deakins]

And? I put down faster lap times around a track, acr.no, than a guy in an Prodrive STi, does that mean my Corrado is faster? No, only that he could need some more driving experience.
Same driver, same track, same day, the S4 is faster.

[BlOOe46]

my apologies, after loading the video at home i found it was an rs4 being chased down by an e46 m3

by no means am i doubting the rs4's sheer speed, it is evident how badly he dusts the e46 m3 on the straights

but because the track had a lot of turns to negotiate, it was evident the rs4 didnt have the stuff to leave the m3 . . . i was able to see this partly by the comparison between braking (the m3 slowed down a lot quicker approaching a turn then the rs4) and also due to the rs4's understeer contributed to its AWD layout (it seemed the driver was using a lot more effort to turn the car and keep a solid line upon reaching the apex)

there is no doubt in my mind that had the drivers switched seats, there would be a repeat of what had just been described . . . the rs4 is a great car but it doesnt possess the ability as a track car (not sweeping course, very twisty) quite like the e46 M3

[Deakins]

So this is just bull then? Never mind the irritating coments made by the touchy M3 owner/fan.

Do you mind telling me the name, filetype and size of this video you have?

[BlOOe46]

certainly, i forget where i got it from . . . (if u have an ftp to post it at, i will be glad to oblige)

but here it is:
it is called m3_vs_rs4
it is a .mpg filetype
and the size is 23,117 KB

btw, no topgear is not bullshit by any means . . . id appreciate if u wouldnt put words into my mouth

[crayzayjay]

Deakins, which car would you go for?
