loud...LOL it's a very fast car and with all the features,comforts, AWD, it's really hard to beat.. if that was offered in tip or dsg, my CayenneS would be bye bye

1) wait until you explore the higher RPM regions
2) the RS4 is "supposedly" faster than the c2s in most all reports
3) the RS4 is not faster than a C4S on the track
and i agree, i'm just happy that my RS4 is as fast as it is.....and LOUD (thanks Milltek!)

As a side note, get used to checking your oil! The RS4 uses about 1 quart per 1K miles. Normal for a RACE engine, which is what you bought. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

I have varied the RPMs and gone into highter RPM zones, but not for long - most of it has been around 4K or less so far. I did hit 7500 a couple of times, but again, it wasn't for long. It's an amazing car...
I'll check the other Milltek threads, but it was my impression that the downpipes were worth it. If so, I was planning on doing the downpipes and the resonated, valved exhaust (still have a g/f to go on long drives with). I saw that reflashes were still being developed.
Thanks again for all the compliments - I'll post some better pics on Saturday when it'll be cleaned up. I'm going to need a new avatar...
Oh - the (eye rolling) was some guy's comment about whether the RS4 is as quick as a 911. It's the same crap as the 997TT vs. Z06 stuff - people refuse to accept truth if "their car" doesn't "win".

Chris its gorgeous! I think it was a great decision, and you can enjoy it on a daily basis! Having test driven one, I can't imagine the grin on your face daily from driving this beast. Forget about the naysayers and go out their and drive the hell out of it!!

I just found this pretty funny review of the RS4 sounds as good as Chris says;
