Also I know the guy was racing me since it was another salesperson from the dealership
in our RS4 that I work for...
Oh gotcha haha. That is impressive then, I think your really just paying for the car looking amazing, luxuries, and name.

02 noen sport. LOL that was funny
06 WRX TR it was raining. 2-3 car lengths
02 mustang gt heavily modified turbo, etc... he was spinning forever from dig. than he was pulling on me pretty fast than slowed way down. he said he did not want a ticket. LOL probualy pretty smart
07 mustang GT 1-2 car lengths
friend has a 95 mustang rebuilt from groung up he says it is going to be aroung 700 hp with N2O he want to race after it is done. I am going to lose but I want to see how fast it is.
I know it is still illegal but I live in the country= less people more open roads. no excuse just saying
no one wants to race everyone just looks and stares or gives the thumbs up or says they like my car.

No it really does go beyond paying for the name.. Your paying for the quality of the materilas and the engineering that goes into putting these cars together.. They hold
up incredibly well over the years with no rattles or squeeks. Plus they have a feel all
there own aswell as far as how rigid the chassis feels. I still would take a RS4 over my STi anyday even if it may not be as quick...

I believe materials is luxuries? but yea I know they're reliable and I would take one over my STi also because that is even a more rare car.

No they don't. I own an Audi and I'm very active in the scene. I talk to owners of many models and many generations and they definitely do NOT hold up "incredibly well."

One guy who owns a 2006 A8 and dropped $15K in maintenance and repairs in 2.5 years. Personally, I've spent $6K in 8 months on mine. These stories are common and neither of them are the worst available.

They are pretty nice cars, but they are absolute maintenance whores. Maintenance and repairs are common and very expensive.

Personally, I'm choosing an STI over an RS4 and will probably never return to owning an Audi.

either you or your friend is full of S@it beacaue if he owns a 2006 A8 that car comes with free maintanance and all the repairs should have been covered under warranty..

Thanks for trying though.... $15k in maintanance hahahahaha.... Maybe if he put 250,000 miles on the car in the 2.5 years like you say... It's obvious you have no clue what you are talking about and only talking about bull**** heresay...
