Ok guys, not much help as I expected...
As I said I really did like the RS4, but felt it was underpowered coming from a more powerful car. I came here asking if it would make 500HP with upgrades listed. Instead you told me that I did not know how to drive knowing nothing of my driving experience.
Your taunting and telling me how I do not know how to drive leads me to believe that this car is not a vehicle capable of extreme performance.
This may be the fastest car you gentelmen have driven, but that's not the case for many people including myself.
Although some may go as far as poking at E55, I'll let you know that from 2K in 3rd it pulls like an animal. I can light up 295 tires on 20" going over 50mph, and currently pushing over 460hp and 520tq to the wheel (which is just a start). I will admit that I wish I had more traction and handling.
I was hoping to get some techinical feedback, but instead got excuses. I thank you for nothing and hope that Audi one day will bring back the TT as it is rumored.
Ignorance may be a bliss for some of you, while few others were pereceptive enough to admit the short comings of the car. I guess in a way I did get my answer... and that is that I do not want to have a car that I have to make excuses for. Have a good day.

you seem to have
come here with the sole intent of touting your E55 over the RS4, and stating some BS claim that the RS4 doesn't have the power it should...or that you expect.
although i agree with you that some replies incorrectly questioned your driving, or turbo, or whatever, i don't see how your stmts could be responded to in a non-critical way.
by coming onto the RS4 forum and telling owners that their car lacks power and that the E55 will crush it(in so many words), what did you expect?
now you finish by tossing out some more insults their way? ya just came here to stir some sh*t, why not admit it...instead of this blame the other guy copout?

dude.
look at the power/torque curve for the RS4 motor. what did you expect us to say when you commented that you floored it from the bottom of the RPM band and weren't impressed? why would anyone do that? that's like saying the performance of a F1 car isn't impressive because it has no power below 10k rpm.
