M5 vs Audi RS4
I have always liked the previous gen S4's and like many drooled over the RS4 which never reached our shores. Check out how the RS4 pulls away from the M5 
The power of this car is incredible?!?!
I am all for spirited driving but these guys were freakn CRAZY!! It was taken somewhere in Europe.

Thank god for cable modems - downloading now.
The RS4 is an impressive car, but pretty boring. Audi's reputation is that they have some very quick, very numb feeling cars. After driving my friend's 2004 S4 I have to agree. Great pace though - good for autobahns

They're insane, dangerous and stupid
From what I could see of the sign posts and the web site that was at the beginning, it looks like it's in Holland.
It's crap like this that gets the opponents of unlimited speed sections of the German Autobahn in an uproar.
I've been fortunate enough to spend many high speed kilometers on German autobahns in BMWs and Audis. But, I also followed the one rule that is completely unbreakable -- you never, ever, in a million years pass on the right in Germany.
Not only were those lunatics passing on the right, they were passing in between car lanes. Did anybody notice what they did to some poor car merging on the highway? It's a wonder they didn't kill anybody.
Okay, I know this is perhaps not the intended response for posting the link (thanks for doing it, by the way
) but stuff like this sets me off. Also, were they really going that fast, or was it more a result that their speed was 2 to 3 times that of those slow moving trucks?
okay, that's it, I'm switching to decaf

I think the proper term is psychopathic.

...Knew it wasn't in th states. Not one horn blow or anyone trying to cut you off to slow you down. Try that in th states its going to be explosions and fireballs.
Thats crazy. The RS4 can accelerate. (understatement)

that was not in the least bit safe. arguably some of the dumbest driving i've ever seen.
ok, done chastising the recklessness of the drivers. that RS4 was fast, but i'd like to see the same thing against a new M5
