leebar Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 RS4 is an animal, around 420bhp and 0-62 in 4.8 Still a big ugly German box, I know what I'd rather be driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbaker8130 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Also 4WD which makes a massive difference from a standing start. And IIRC about £50k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And IIRC about £50k True, still pi**ed off tho Amazing power from a stand still start... He then pulled over 2 let me get in front and could I get away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 To answer your question, consider that the peak power of the Audi is 410 at 7800 against about 400 at 6500 for a Vortech. That equates to more torque at the wheels earlier in the power band, plus there will be more losses crank-wheel in a 4wd set-up. Added to the extra 100kg for the RS4 and other than away from the line (where traction would be your enemy) it would be a much closer match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 No harm in trying, but I am not surprised in the outcome at all! The Audi RS range are all animals. Very solid cars, very good handling, and very very fast. But they arent lookers are they. They are for people who need or want the practicality of a 4 door estate/saloon, but still want a sports car. But with a price when new at around 50k - you would expect something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got to get it here of course so shipping and 23%. I paid alsmost exactly the same base price and got it to my door for £3567 Alternatively these guys here in the UK, but can't personally vouch for them http://www.nsracing.com/japanese%20_app_guide.htm . I would personally go Forged Internals and ask them to throw in a spare cog and serpentine belt as part of the deal. With no hitches (and no gauges), Abbey should get it on and running for you for about £800. NS Racing apparently can fit as well but, I could only recommend Abbey personally.

Liam's Z Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Looks like time to sell some of my shares then Thanks Dorian P.s Me only worry is the SC affects resale price, would you agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 It depends. personally I would strip the kit off and sell separately, so it depends on whether you own up To de-install is very easy and costs about £400. The only trace left on the car will be = a virtually undetectable hole in the upper oil pan where the Vortech oil line feeds = a cut out of the engine cover where the serp belt runs; you can either run without cover from the outset (hence no cut) or purchase another as I have done (from Funkystyling for £50) = if you purchase the autosport wiring harness (might have seen one advertised VERY recently ;)) no need to cut any wires either You can always PM me for more details I'll leave you with this thought, install a Vortech S/C and you'll NEVER be 'seriously punished' by an RS4 again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
