Congrats Beeker. Did you go down to look at it yourself or did you get someone else to? Look forward to seeing it in the flesh some time.

Did the deal subject to it being as described (they are a audi franchise, so there was a level of trust assumed).
They drove it up (lucky sales guy!).
Its not perfect (i'm a perfectionist thou) but in very good order, and about right for the KMs.

The only annoying point its the toyo tyres (new'ish); simply rubbish on the limit. Squeals like a stuck pig and not that grippy on the limit.
On the flip side, i simply love the exhaust note, more comfee ride yet better handling at the same time compared to my B5.
Will miss my B5, it has stronger street appeal with its 'staunch' looks, and i'll miss the turbo lag lag lag BOOST!
After 7 years, it was time for something new.

Nice purchase and a good car.  I saw one of the sales guys out in it last Monday at a winery in Hawkes Bay.

You would have got a good deal on it.  I think they've been holding it since early October 2010.  What sort of discount did they do for you?

Congrats! Looks very mean. Sounds like it has lived up to expectations.

They look like T1R's ?
Probably put on because the previous owner was penny-pinching.

>:D

They are OK on some cars (usually lighter Jappas) but not great when pushed hard.

What was less than perfect ?

I had a friend looking at a car from a Napier dealer but was getting dicked around so told them to go jump in the ocean.

ahhh, nice one!  sorry, I read your sale one first!  now I understand!

Why do they handle better and in what way?
Does it feel way gruntier and instant?
How many HP do the V8s have?
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?

The steering provides more feelback and weight, there is less 'body roll steering', and the brakes provide more feel and stopping power.
The B5 is still a great car, but this is better again when it comes to handling. Looks and power delievery are another topic.

Yes, NA will also provide more throttle response than a turbo car, however nothing like a bit of lag to put a smile on your face once boost arrives.

The RS4 b7 is 420PS (416HP)

Another interesting fact, it holds 8 litres of engine oil !!!

That's a funny one...

It's got the fuzzy steering wheel but no fuzzy gearknob.
