if these are facts than you can please show us some real life proof. which oviously there is NONE because they are not true.
FACTS are that the lighter does not always mean it can outperform a heavier car. a kia rio can not out handle an rs4 and even $1000 dollar coilover still would not get it close.
just like the RS4, your motor sits right in between the headlights and is prone to understeering just like the rest of our cars. only difference is that the RS4 has a power bias of 40:60 thus sending more power to the rear thus reducing understeer and actually making your statement completely FALSE. Just because the A4 has a stiffer suspension does not exactly make it a better handling car.
Also, please do not assume just because their is a 4.2 liter V8 shoehorned up front that the car is a lot nose heavier than your a4, because unlike your iron block, heavy 4 cylinder, the rs4 has an advanced, lightweight all aluminum v8 that closes the weight gap between the two alot more than you think which is another reason an rs4 or even an s4 costs more than your run of the mill a4.
and if you think your car produces anywhere from 340-380 whp, you seriously have not a clue of how these things work. for one, you have an automatic car, the drivetrain loss on an auto/awd car is much greater than that on a manual/awd. you are looking at upwards of a 25% loss. I'll bet you are around 280-290 TOPS. another thing is that you can not rate your own hp figure by comparing company dynos. APR has their own influence on their dyno in order to make their product seem like it is making the power that they claim. they are the only ones adjusting load settings and figures on the dyno in order to get what you see on their website. I am not pointing out APR specifically since many companies do this and (not to open a can of worms) but I'm sure VF had a little say in their dyno settings in order to get the numbers they achieved with the s/c S4. Also, out of all the big turbo kits out their, APR has the least aggressive tune of all. So expect to make less total power than the kits AWE, VF, and VAST have on the market.
Another fact that i would like to state, since you obviously have a thing for facts, is that you can talk down about RS4's and S4's and this and that, but in the end (and not to put down any A4 owners) it is still and A4, and this is still the B6/B7 S4 and RS4 forum. if i had to compare this situation to any, you are basically an srt-4 owner with 600 whp, and even though your srt-4 is faster than my viper, it is still a Neon, and I still own a viper. Amen.
Well, you said a mouth full. I didn't want to get in depth with the kid because i saw it pointless to prove your above statement since he still would not get the point across his head. But amen....

i would do it at SnG id I had a car. Blew the clutch a month ago and I'm waiting for Jay@JHM to put me a nice kit together. All i have now is a 140 hp mk2 gti and that just wouldnt be fair

Hey man. according to Auditude, since it is so much lighter you will definitely dust him.

true! a solid 1200 pounds lighter so i would be crossing the finish line before he even hits the 1/8th!
that MUST mean.... you'll be crossing the finish line.... hold on a second, I can do this... 27, carry the 2, add 4, calculate the standard deviation of the variable weight distributions at all four corners.....
1200 NAUTICAL MILES AHEAD OF HIM! GEEZUS! the little bastard's onto something....

I love the RS4 and its my favorite car but the facts are the facts. An A4 with coilovers puts an RS4 to shame on the track its lighter and that's the key fact so its not only in straight line performance were the A4 is better.
Are you for real?? U cant talk shit if you cant back it up. You say an a4 with coilovers will beat a rs4 around the track ??? so let me get this straight the audi engineers who designed the rs4 for street/race purpouses are idiots and the rs4 stock suspension sucks and a a4 that was made for street driving , just by changing the suspension setting will outrun a rs4 around a track. Dont forget that the rs4 has a wider track, better tires, thicker sway bar and not to say excellent suspension, also if you consider that the rs4 puts 60 percent of its power to the rear wheels and 40 to the front, as for the a4 which understeers badly puts down 50/50!!! let me tell you pall the rs4 weighs 3,704 lbs and the a4 2.0T quattro tiptronic weighs 3660 thats not really a big difference, to be exact it would be the exact same thing as having my 6 year old nephew in the front seat which let me tell you i cant feel a difference!!

There are plenty of heavily modded A4's that can beat the RS4 around a track. Stock vs. Stock no comparison, but you can modify an A4 to do that. Regarding your 40:60 arguement, that ratio can easily be attained with a modified center diff.
Weight savings - dependent on how heavy the drivers are. Skill is skill at the end of the day...an A4 with a good driver can out run a RS4 around a track with an okay driver...same driver for both cars could possibly yield the same results

Are you 17 as well?? No one is saying different drivers, attitude said that a stock a4 with coilovers will outcorner a rs4 put kimi raikkonen on both cars and see who wins!!!! That is the most ridiculous claim i have ever heard and you are now retarded for supporting this argument!!!

you must be young and apparently illiterate....i said a heavily modded A4...stock for stock no comparison. I never agree with Auditude, but a moded anything can beat a stock car.
17 please - i'm certain I have tee shirts older than you

I mean we keep hearing all this crap about a heavily modded A4 being able to beat a RS4 on the track... Let's see some data to back this up or zip it -- ok?
So wtf is the point? This thread isn't about heavily modded A4s... For the love of god, please go back to the A4 forum and stay there.
This isn't a pissing match....just informing you that the statement your previous "eductional session" was inaccurate
now back to our original discussions - supercharged S4 sick
supercharged RS4 - insane

That was a hilarious half hour. All I was looking for was an update on the RS4 s/c, but instead was delighted by "driving skill" problems (dump clutch, change gear), and wet dreams on A4 vs RS4.
Keep it up, and possibly back on topic occassionally?
Hey Auditude, did your dad buy you any new mods lately? Just curious.
I've been working since the day I got my working papers. I buy everything myself but thanks for being narrow minded. Just because most 17 year olds may not work hard doesn't mean I don't. Please don't be judgemental cause I've worked real hard to get were I'm at by 17.

I saw all these posts and thought the VF supercharger was creating quite a stir.
I am too scared to see how far back the A4 vs RS4 conversation has been going on.
On topic thought, the mechanic who rebuilt my engine is putting one of these in an Imola Yellow in another month or so. I am gonna be there so I will take pictures and whatnot!

17 years old, wow, that explains everything. This race is gonna be very interesting then. Seems like someone will be banned from the S4 forums forever. lol
"If no one has been offended by what you have done, you need a larger audience."
how on EARTH did you let them take your car for 6 months? I am stunned at the thought of having an RS4 only to let someone monkey with it for the better part of a year.
I want to see
a) the pictures they have of you
or
b) the cheque they're going to write you
you might own VF or something...I have no idea what the relationship is...but I'm still stunned!
I don't see anything relevant yet regarding either the s4 kit or the rs4 kit cuz I want some cold hard performance numbers. Anyone can play with dyno numbers so those mean nothing to me

Lol No doubt! I'd love to have a business where people dropped off their cars for me to do R&D for 6 months and then paid for the developed product. That is one great business model!
