I love these threads. We get to see who has done their homework, and who is a retarded kid. Once the performance chat starts, we are treated to some GOLD!

Apparently, the B7 RS4 doesn’t respond to modifications

Nope, my B7 RS4 had 50,000 miles of carbon and had no problems. Ran 12.75@108.36. Faster than all but 2 stock B8 S4s in history. So there’s that. If you have a vacuum leak, that gets corrected when you carbon clean, yes, the change is radical. But that has nothing to do with ccarbon. It’s a vacuum leak you can fix in 30 seconds.

[quote=LINDWALL] Tuned, the B8 will walk an RS4…

I guess we’re not allowed to modify our RS4s? Who cares about stock vs. tuned? How about tuned vs tuned…isn’t that more relevant?

Oh wait…apparently the RS4 doesn’t respond to modifications. Good to see the B8 S4 section is still COMPLETELY fucking ignorant of reality

Let’s pretend those numbers are accurate.

  1. 5% upside on the RS4? really? Hmmm…last time I checked, tune + exhaust = about 30-40 whp and wtq…aka 10-15 over stock%
  2. 25% upside on the B8 S4… 333x1.25 = 416 hp lol. Remind me why that is better again? He’s just dumb and making up numbers of course but it’s funny to watch.
  3. ‘basically no work’. Sorry, where is he getting this from? Is it more work to install an RS4 tune than a B8 S4 tune? It’s the opposite. I can tune my RS4 at my house. Using my laptop. Thanks JHM. B8 S4? Your ECU needs to be in the hands of the tuners…comes out, gets ‘modified’, gets put back. Is installing an exhaust easier on the B8? Nope. RS4 is easier thanks to the headers. Want the cats off your B8? Good luck.

Nevermind the performance stuff.

Stock RS4 record - 12.75 @ 108.36
bolt ons record 12.21 @ 113.5
basic JHM 1 supercharged record 11.62 @ 118 MPH
JHM stage 2 record 10.9 @ 129 MPH

Those are all on pump gas FYI, in daily driver form, just rolling in off the street. The B8 guys are clueless. It’s comical.

^^ haha i saw that thread last night and was going to link it over here. someone should copy/paste your post on AZ.

i’d do it but would probably get banned.

#4608

What about the mysterious 10.7 that we sneaked peaked? ;D

#4609

It has been quite a thread on both the B8 and B7 forums. The B8 one is obviously way more painful to read. I don’t understand a lot of those guys arguments like has been already noted. They say tuned vs. stock as non of us would imagine to modify our cars. The exclusivity alone (well plus a V8 and beautiful curves) makes our the clear choice.

#4610

Yeah, I won’t get in trouble for posting this here…just AZ

not only that but its a motortrend way of comparison. Motortrend will compare two cars in teh quarter mile, or dyno, and tell you this car is .1 seconds faster than this car to 60 mph, and it does 4 mph faster in the quarter mile, it also has 20 extra horsepower…this car is clearly the winner…And you are left thinking…what the fuck? so drivability, comfort, engagement, nothing else matters, all that matters is .1 seconds. I feel like we drive our cars more often than we race them. you’re going to want something that you feel comfortable in, that you can drive every day and be happy in, its way more important than going .1seconds faster.

Nice tip Saki.

Flow Tech really nailed Flying Tomatoes in that post. FT vs FT

#4615

pump gas?

#4616

no offense, but that’s the same kind of thing. You’re saying it’s hands down the B7 RS4 because that’s your opinion (which I shared when I bought mine)…but reality is they’re both excellent cars. Very different.

Shitting on one of them is silly (you’re not…but the B8 guys are doing lots of that…as are lots of B7 RS4 guys , calling the B8 ugly, soul-less and boring and A4 s-line in that thread). Putting one on a pedestal is also silly. They’re just cars.

Frankly for me, I want a cool sounding car because the sound it makes is a big part of the experience. I want a rare car, and I want a blistered RS because to me it’s just way more interesting. From the other point of view, the B8 is fantastic out of the box, is more up to date, and has done great things with modifications (as has the RS4 as we all know here).

It’s really a ‘what do you like better’ situation more than anything…neither one is a bad choice.

I just don’t get the fucking ignorance. Marcus you’re a great example (not you…but their ignorance of what your car achieved). Your car beat every B8 S4 on earth…and you would do it on pump gas while they fuck with race gas cannisters and alcohol and frantically try push the living shit out of their car’s parameters to keep up. But it seems like almost NONE of them know that. Your modlist is an $7995 supercharger kit, a lw flywheel and catless downpipes…and your car is ‘unmoddable’??

Want to push the envelope with stage 1? Let’s talk about what Dan’s car did with a full compliment of LW mods and full exhaust with some good octane…he was trapping 122-123 STAGE 1. Yes, stage 1. Even trapped 125 on one pass with a bad launch. He put some good gas in the car on a pump tune. No parameter changes…just add some octane.

How about mistro? He went 12.21 @ 113.5 with bolt on mods, again on pump. The unmoddable RS4 somehow managed to pick up 6 MPH and 5 tenths over the fastest ever stock RS4 1/4 mile time. That meansit picked up around the equivalent of 50 hp in doing so. Sounds pretty moddable to me.

#4617

Fully agree. You and Mistro have pushed the envelopes of the RS4 without an SC (Definitely not trying to swell your head). It just seem ignorant to downplay a platform without further investigating what it is capable of. Newer doesn’t always equal better. Granted they have a nice new interior (questionable quality) and nice gadgets but that’s about it. It reminds me of the whole Evo X to IX argument. Some nice new additions (I owned an X BTW), but there was no way a “tuned” X could come close to a “tuned” IX as far as performance. Maybe in a few years. The same amount for a new B8 S4 or a used (hopefully meticulously maintained) RS4+mods. I understand personal choice, but the performance aspect that they the B8 S4 guys had, is ridiculous. And the audacity to call it an A4 which a ghetto body kit, really??? Come on…ignorant much???

#4618

I’m not really even sure why you and Saki are discussing this. Everyone who knows the real truth knows that the A4 is the ultimate drivers car. The s4 and rs4 are just glorified versions of an already perfect car :wink:

#4619

I Second this. =] A4TW!

#4620

Truth. I parked my silver b7 rs4 next to a silver b7 a4 to get coffee. I came back to find an old lady with 3 coffees trying to get into my car lol. Didn’t know how to break it to her
