Thanks!

I know I'm a bit late hopping on the RS4 train, but how is everyone else liking theirs? Any problems to look out for besides the DRC nonsense? So far the only thing I can tell from driving it home in the rain extremely carefully is that it feels more stable and more heavily engineered than the competition; probably because it weighs 2 tons, but still.

Congrats!

Every time I see an RS4 on the road I think about trading my S5 for one. There's just something about the RS4 that will make it THE wolf in sheep's clothing

I love how the S5's look, but I sort of like how the RS4 is so subtle in its looks; draws less negative attention. (I hope :X)

Very nice! Looks like you bought it from the same "fleet" I did at the Exchange.

David was my SP, who was yours?

so did we figure out what the color is yet--is it an exclusive color or just the normal silver? i'm soooo jealous, can't wait to see more pix.

Congrats. The RS4 is one of the cars I'm considering picking up this summer.

Congrats on a great car. I traded my 08 RS4 in for my R8 delivery this fall. I really liked the RS4, but would recommend the Stasis coilover suspension if you don't mind spending some money. The ride is much better than stock when put at a Street setting, and is very good on the track when dialed to Track Aggressive. And you get some lowering, which makes the car look really cool. The RS4 is a heavy car, and the engine is way up there in front of the axle, so if you plan to do some track driving the coilovers are a HUGE improvement for the car.
