I'm sure some of you guys have seen this or numerous others like it, but after I watched this I felt I had to share; my sphincter was puckered right up 'till the end. Oh boy! Enjoy:

whats an RS4?

It's the pimped out, fast version of the Audi A4. Kinda like the STI to the WRX.

oh, right, I knew that

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Fri Aug 20, 2004 5:15 pm

That's an RS4 Avant. I.E. Station Wagon.

That was fucking amazing. Probably the most irresponsible thing I have ever seen, but goddamn that was cool.

Thanks Hardy, that worked. That RS4 was pullin' some crazy moves! That looked like Germany too.

I dunno about Germany, but.. can someone pause the video long enough to read the signs on top of the freeway? think i might try it now. I have nothing better to do, no life, you know.

Ok, i ran thru it frame by frame, and i see that the signs are NOT in any recognizable text (at least to me) so perhaps it IS germany, or, judging from all the industry-ish looking shit that it's somewhere a bit east, say.. Czech?

eh,

Definitely not german, it's some kind of cyrillic alphabet though, so eastern european for sure.

Actually the RS4 is to the S4 Avant what the STi is to the WRX.
The RS4 only came as an Avant, so no sedans.

Boo.

I'm not seeing any amazing driving, any idiot can weave through traffic. I'm not seeing any amazing handling, my 83 6cyl dodge van can change lanes just as well. The cars, while expensive and fast, are just that, expensive and fast.

All I see is some rich jackasses putting commuters' lives in danger. I'd be embarrassed to be in that video.

That Audi sure pulled on the bmw though, eh?

Maybe you should watch it again scott...

While I'm not suggesting that the drivers in the featured video aren't being highly irresponsible by putting a lot of innocent lives at risk (the least of which is their own), they are without a doubt very, very good drivers.
If you can't see that, well, I don't know what to tell ya.
I'm not tooting my own horn here, but I've driven many different cars: some really fast, some not so, some capable of great handling -some of which were serious accidents waiting to happen.
I can tell you, without a doubt, that after watching the video and measuring my skill versus theirs, I wouldn't be able to drive anywhere near the level of them. Not even close.
It's clear that if they're not professional drivers, they might as well be -driving at that level requires skill and extensive practice. Period.
Again, I'm not condoning it, but it's amazing. They're good. Incredibly irresponsible and selfish, but extremely good.

^^Yup^^

Same engine (internals) but with two k04s vs. the S4's k03s and some ecu work. Good for 350hp.
