Drove a 540 yesterday. That thing destroys Stage 2 A4s. Wonder how a stage 3 would do?

Default handling isn't too bad either, for stock.

Unfortunately the brakes aren't very good when it comes to repetitive hard stops like on a hard canyon drive. That would definitely be my first upgrade.

Default Actually I did a few years back. The 540 makes acceleration more noticable. Probably the suspension.

Or I just don't remember correctly. The M5 didn't jerk as much when you accelerated although if you looked at the speedo there was no mistaking how fast the car was. Very civilized...

Default on the highway those things are just plain scary attempt to run with

from a light though, not so scary. Getting a big nicely powered RWD car like that off the line is not easy.
