A guy I work with just let me take his 07 RS4 for a 30 minute pasting. I was really impressed. I've been in Scoobys with more power but that V8 has a huge torque band. The 420hp is delivered really nicely and at really low revs..I'd buy one if they were $40K cheaper!
He gets an R8 in 8 weeks and says he'll let me drive that....can't wait

You better post them pics! lol!
I drove a neighbors RS4 with Statis Ohlins up Sharp Park Rd. and onto 280, floored it to a buck twenty, and it felt like getting up to 70 in my Rex. It was really fast and very smooth torque band. I know there are faster STI's and Evo's, but the quality is quite a bit nicer. I wouldn't mind this as my family car, and still have the capability to be the weekend warrior!
That R8 must be a whole other beast! Can't wait to see your pics Glen!

Damn, anyone know the name of the episode or have a link to the episode somewhere?
Youtube is **** as hell with copyright stuff, but for some reason google video isn't (The videos that are actually hosted on google). Funny because google owns youtube.

should've told him to wait for the V10 r8.

He told me about it, he'll get one if he can part with his 911 Turbo, RS4, CLS, or R8....
He loves his R8 so much he wants the V10.
What a car though, as easy to drive as a ford focus, but such power and a beautiful sound right behind you. This was my first time in a mid-engine so I didn't go maximum attack. And the brakes....I could go on and on how much i liked it.
We had an M5 following us on the 380 to 280 junction and all 3 lanes were clear so I cornered with a really nice line...the M5 fell way back then got straight back up my **** as soon as we got to the freeway...it felt SO good giving an M5 a slapping
I almost felt embarrassed offering to let him drive mine afterwards...hopefully he'll bring it to AutoX next time we're at the stick.
