Default You may like ultimate power, but I like how that power is delivered.

Unless you have driven the RS4, there is very little to go upon. A heavily breathed on S4 still does not compare. It's all about the way the car delivers power.

One can argue that the Stage III S4 or even a Stage IV/V S4 is better than a C4s because it offers more power at a cheaper price point. But most forget that it's not about ultimate power, but how it gets there and what you feel with the car.

I'd probably agree on this. I've not driven a "stock" RS4. This one had the Quattro Sport stuff on

Default Zev, aside from the physical entry of the data, the radio/CD/Nav+ unit was functioning.

Since I have my Nav in the S4, I can pretty much figure out that the data entry part on the Nav is similar (aside from playing with a fully functional one at AMS).

Default I don't know about the part numbers, but this tranny's shifting feel was different.

Very smooth and no complaints from the synchros as far as downshifting is concerned. Even into 1st, which completely surprised me.

The RS4s I bring in have a full 2 year warranty.
