I hear you, my STI has 400lbs or torque at 3,700rpm, measured at the wheels...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/30766/subie_001_e-mail.jpg"></center><p>With no internal engine modifications... I'm going to drive the RS4, then decide!

(ok, so it looks a bit extreme. I'm a hot rodder, and a car junkie.... what do you want?
The Evo IX is still stock, for now.)

Footnote... I'm sure if I drove my STI at 9-10 tenths of it's capability, it would...

spit out parts faster than the RS4 would if it were driven at 9-10 tenths of its capacity....
but I don't drive like that (anymore).

I see what you're saying, lets hope Audi sends a normal one to them and not something 'special'

All car companies send "special" hardware.

In Europe, many magazines received RS4's with race rubber.

I know some Ford SVT guys, and the "test" cars they showed me were often "ringers" with no cats and other tweaks.

Mercedes once sent an SL 55 AMG with like an SLR motor or something crazy.

I've also heard Porsche has sent X50 packaged cars and claimed otherwise.

It's all a big game.
