I'd agree re the S4, but that's apparently a stage 2+ RS4in the vid which I'd imagine is fairly nippy?  :smiley:

Yeah but if it's an APR kit it will have to spend an inordinate amount of it's life parked in Milton Keynes broken.  :wink:

Nice clear road they were playing on..cannot be this country surely.

Quite a nice road surface too..so definitely not this country I'd guess!!

I beg to differ........My S4 knocked on the door of 480 horses. It would sh*t up pretty much anything, and hit 180mph on my private test track between the A33 and the A4 :p

Heavily tuned for 480 I would imagine, since B5 S4s run like 350bhp with a map(and minor other mods)? :)

Good bit of private test track that!  :grin:

Not massively.
Pair of K04s (standard is the k03), rs4 manifolds. 3" decat down pipes and full exhaust, 630cc injectors, front mount and some very good mapping, so not a silly amount of work. Thankfully the previous owner to me sunk the £10k odd that lost cost into it. A massively capable car, makes my Gti feel like a 1.4 which is a shame, but it would've lost me my license very easily that car :(

And yes a very good stretch, especially when the local
Supercar dealership customers are about.....

It isn't an R, it is a K04'd Golf GTI MKVI. Different engine to the MKV too as it is an EA888 TSI. Better flow than the MKV TFSI and better fuelling too.

I ran against a similar specced one with WMI at York and was still 1 second quicker and 2mph faster over the 1/4 mile. Still a nippy motor though.  :happy2:

I meant the (R)S4. Not the Mk6 :)

If you look in the video the rs4 is bouncing all over the place.

Ahh, yes, I think that moving and bouncing is probably be the driver having to do that old fashioned thing called manually stick shifting!  :laugh:
