Of course not, because those are more track-biased cars.steelsnake00 wrote:Hasn't ran the ring. And I can't see it beating the Radical SR4 even when it does, or the high-BHP ultimas. Some of them are running 800+bhp/ton out of the factory, and the Veyron for all it's 1001bhp does have the slight problem of a high kerb weight.

Our survey says:darknight788 wrote: and to clear some things up the rs4 has been tested 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and a quarter mile at 13.3. while a z51 corvette will go 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and a quarter mile in 12.7 and a z06 will do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and a quarter mile in 11.5.though a RS6 will do a little better than the z51 corvette with 4.3 seconds 0-60 and 12.6 1/4 mile (C&D)
Audi RS4 - 224bhp/ton, 13.0 @ 109mph - £50k
Corvette C6 - 272bhp/ton, 12.4 @ 115mph - £60k
Corvette Z06 - 361bhp/ton, 11.7 @ 125mph - £70k
I still know where my money would go.

Not to mention weather conditions, the quality of the track they were timed on, ect ect.darknight788 wrote:if the comparison was not done by the exact same driver with the exact same conditions then there really isnt a point. i know the stats i posted were done at different times by different drivers. your times and mine are pretty close a drivers skill and conditions could change them
Give me the RS4 anyday. At least it isnt American

I wasnt trying to state you were wrong, in fact quite the opposite. I was actually backing you up on the times. All times found on the internet are theoretical really, if I pulled a time in the dry, and then my friends 700bhp Supra pulled a time in the wet, Id probably win. That doesnt mean my car is faster by any means. The RS4 has consistency due to AWD, neither of the Vettes do.darknight788 wrote:if the comparison was not done by the exact same driver with the exact same conditions then there really isnt a point. i know the stats i posted were done at different times by different drivers. your times and mine are pretty close a drivers skill and conditions could change them
I still say you cant beat AWD for a street car.

i wasnt saying you were wrong either your times you posted are realistic and believeable, the weather conditions and conditions of the track and the skill of the driver can sway the times. im was just saying that the times were not posted by the same driver on the same day which could have also made a difference, maybe the rs4 could keep up with the z51
as for a awd street car your right nothing will handle better around the tight turns, the audi tt must go around turns like its on rails
@ koenigsegg, if you want the best built cars go buy a honda or toyota or any of those, they last forever, which is suprising since the way some of them get treated

Unfortunately, for the most part they're also dull, uninspired and downright boring to drive.

My mum had a Fiesta XR2 that was almost problem free for 10 years. In contrast my dad had a Mercedes E300 Turbodiesel which was nightmarish. It shows you win some, you loose some as far as reliablitiy is concerned.

The Type-R-R looks set to compete with the Clio Cup car that Renault sell, full cage, sequential box, slicks...should be quite a beast. Youre also missing the MR2 turbo and the MKIV TT from that list. Hate it all you want, the Supra is a masterpiece.

The only things I don't like about Supras are the stock mags, and the stock front bumper. They're pretty damn dull...
If I got an S2000 I'd put the Amuse GT-1 bodykit on it, complete with carbon fibre bonnet, and a C-West spoiler.
Other than those and the NSX, Honda and Toyota are dull.
THAT is why I like Euro cars better, even if they are a heck of a lot more expensive.
