sport auto: Audi RS4 on the Nürburgring (or bye bye M5)
Great time (and the best magazine ever btw...) for a 4 door sedan!
It says the tires were PZero Corsa and not the normal ones ? Do you have the whole article somewhere online or should I go and buy it ? (of course that's the recommended option

i don't know how many of you have driven an M5 or M6 but the top end acceleration is absolutely ridiculous and according to Motor Trend past 130 mph it accelerates faster than a Ferrari F430... they said that derestricted (from155mph) that the M5 would most likely be around 8:00 and the M6 would easily break into the 7:xx's...

RS4 is pretty impressive though!

But i sure would love to try one of those at a real highs peed on highway, i believe it against a stock turbo, not modded!

I don't think the M5 is a slug, it's just that Martin's (iLLM3) TT is abnormally fast! Honestly when we did a run he jumped out at least 5 cars to 120. I wasn't in the most optimal settings (to m5 owners: s5, p500 (no 500s), edc normal), but still I got burned pretty bad. I think I could hang a little better with the right setting, but a stock m5 is no match for a mildly modded TT. period. I'm still proud of the beast though, she tried her best.
We need to do another run soon... And the RS4 is amazing! I love the seats in it
