A New "M3 EATR" Joins the Family

I'd take the RS4 over the maintenance-hungry RS6 anyday.
Never really been impressed with the long wheelbase of the S8 and the R8 is in a class all by itself.

Congrats, Brian. I know the owner (Won) through the years he bought and built the car, indeed very meticulous. In fact I bought a few things off him when he was parting out the car before he sold it to you. But don't worry, it was nothing that would have made her faster. LOL Still, one of the best RS4s seen around.
Not particularly a fan of the license plate, but your explanation makes it right...by you, which is what matters. But let's not fool ourselves, the RS4 is no M3 eater, modded or not. Given CB issues in ALL cars, unless you have a CB clean in the last 5K miles it will never run as good as it rolled off the factory. It's hefty weight, front bias, and parasitic losses of the AWD system, the M3 walks easily on it on anything other than a 0-60 straight pull. Tough for me to admit as an RS4 owner (with a decent amount of mods), but it is what it is.

Dr. Ferdinand - thanks for the note. Your mod list as also a pretty long one - I would love to see some pics of your car. Sprint Blue is a fantastic color. Question for you, what size tires are you running? I was thinking of adding spacers but I'm running 275's so I'm not sure how much I can get away with.
