    140+... mate got done

    Just heard from a petrol-head mate of mine, former Ferrari owner who currently has an Audi RS4 ( shits on a Ferrari )... anyways he got done for 143kmph and has lost his licence for a measley 28 days!!! Car didn't get impounded either! Now if he was on a bike the book would have been thrown at him don't ya think?
    ...it is better to live 1 day as a Tiger than 1000 years as a sheep...

    Saying an RS4 shits on a ferrari is like saying a honda cub shits on a suzuki.

    28 days suspension is mandatory. He hasn't got his fine yet.
    Car doesn't get impounded unless its under the boy racer act (as far as im aware).

    You'd have to take that up with him, I'd be inclined to think he is speaking from experience...

    Been there, done that. The only ferrari an RS4 would take out would have to be pre 348 i'd say (maybe a 355 if you're lucky). Unless of course you cheat and up the boost...

    RS4's are fast and grip pretty well, but depends which ferrari you take on.....wouldn't shit on an Enzo, and I doubt it would beat a well peddled F430 around a track. RS4's are fast off the line (if you are willing to break drive shafts) but like all (stock) 4 wheel drives they suffer understeer on a fast track.

    Tough call without knowing all the facts - but a bit of a bugger anyway!

    Hard to comment when it hasn't gone to court yet... plenty of time for them not to be lenient.

    the new one .they made only 1 batch at audis race car factory not the road
    car lot which is in neckelsim. the rs4 standard was 390 hp but you could get
    the dtm up gradet 400kw(about 490hp).its a twin kkk turbo with f1 rail
    injection(forerunner of injection in new r8 lemans car).drysumped
    intercooled..its power to weight is between that of the ferrari 288gto and
    f40.it will get all porsches except for the new rsgt3.

    Maybee, maybee not...i think it has been concluded on here many times that it all depends on the frame of mind of the *cop* at the time! Scary really.

    I know someone who was doing well over 170ks, the cop did him for 149ks so that he didn't loose his license, was clocked at 173ks.

    By the way, I know a Toyota Starlet that could outdo a Porch 911 Turbo in a straight line and got undertaken at the first corner.

    Guys, we are talking about bikes here. Who cares if an RS4 beats a ferrari. Rossi could kick both their asses.

    Anyway, bugger, like postie said. At least he can afford the fine.

    With all that fruit, 4.8 ain't that good and it would certainly not get all Porsche's particulary a 997 Bi-Turbo with a factory upgrade - just to keep it fair. A stock GT2 would kill it. It's just too dam heavy and drifts like log on the track. The rsgt3 is natually asperated too.

    The 288gto & F40 are old models and are pigs.
