Default RS4=1.32:1 S4=1.23:1 RS4 is over 7% steeper. It accelerates faster in third ;)

That's twice in an hour Oh, and the final drive is the same 4.11:1.

Default The Nogaro Wonder would easily beat that number on salt flats - that's almost like cheating!

Maybe I should buy a Nogaro junker and drop it out of an airplane to break the record? Would you count that too?

Just live with the facts - Deal with it!

Default

4200-6500 is more MPH on Joe's car than mine AFAIK. He has RS4 trans. That is all.

Default I doubt it's an RS4. Sounds like an a different trans to me.

Unless you were shifting at lower RPMs.

Default AFAIK, he got a RS4 trans from Joe (Anti-benz or whatever his name is now).

Maybe I've just been smoking too much crack. :-/

Default LOL, maybe. An unaltered RS4 trans should hit the limiter ~6mph before an S4 does...

Given equal rolling diameter tires and such, of course. It should make a real notable difference in fats, like a few tenths!

Default Also it could have been rebuilt with a custom 'bahn gearset.

Or a normal gearset from another OOOO car.

Default CaliAudiS4 has an officially recorded top speed of 188.3 mph. He had ran

it at Boneville in August of 2004. Marc from AMS worked on his engine management.

Default Left had was at normal position...right hand was towards the bottom of the wheel otherwise...

you wouldn't be able to see the speedo.

No worries. The car is surprisingly stable at that speed. This ain't no crappy US highway. :-)
