Pretty cool site...........

But no way was the RS4 ever king of the hill.

That goes to the M3. Unless you want brute power,C63.

The Lexus has a great motor and very clean looks.

I cant wait till we get a Supra with this 5.0 in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm by no means an audi guy, but it sure seemed like there was a bit of a lexus slant to the vid. again, i'd take the lexus too just on looks, but wasn't this a performance shoot-out and didn't the audi best the lexus in ultimate lap times? and i really love the "perfect laps" comment by the driver himself.

I drove the rs4 and s4 back to back and couldnt see how they justified 25k more for an rs4.... Sure theres a little more power, but thats about it....


The IS-F is pure sex, I have an apt to drive one next week, new DD here i come!

The RS4 lost the track drive shootout by 4/10ths.

WRONG.

The RS4 WAS king of the hill when the e46 was out and the e92 wasnt out. The c55 was slow and ****ty and the 335 sedan wasnt close to comparing so sorry.
