Geez, they be crazy racing a 500HP RWD car in the rain.

The S4 still can hold it's head high. The M5 only took it right up the top end. And as Mr B said, it's tuned. But how do you know it's not the RS4 Mr B? It says RS4 on the Vid...

definitely doesn't sound like it's hartge tuned...if it does have an exhaust, that adds about 10 hp...nothing dramatic. The M5 sounds like it's on the slowest mode for shifting as well. Those shifts took like 1 second...

E60 M5>RS4>E46 M3

yea but as you can see from the last race, from a dead stop the rs4 owns because the 4wd helps is plant all that power to the road better

Depends how observant you are in the video. I watched it at least 4 times and changed contrast and brightness levels on my monitor to make things on the car more distinguishable.

There are a few items on the RS4 that are not available on the S4.

RS4 has more oval shaped mirrors
RS4 has a chrome skid plate on the boot section (standard option)
RS4 has a more distinguishable front bar.

Those are the 3 items that I noticed in that video.

Although since it is white. It is hard to tell what parts are chrome. I could be wrong. But I stand by my assumption that it is an S4.

From what I've gathered,the RS5 will be slightly faster than the regular RS4. I believe it will be a killer around a track, but in a straight line, it shouldn't be quicker than the upcoming RS6.
