Get used to it! Everywhere I go, people young & old ask me about the color on mine. I had no idea that it would intrigue everyone as much as it does. I've had mine 2 months now. Absolutely love it! (Nardo with black optics, red calipers, etc)

Dang it, found myself at a stoplight with an M4 tonight. Thankfully wife and kid in car or I’d have my first “racing on public street” ticket. HA

You also would've gone home with your tail between your legs

Actually would be a close race
From Audi web-site - 2018 RS3 (0-60mph): 3.9s (155 - 174mph top speed)
From BMW web-site - 2018 M4 Coupe (0-60mph) 3.9s (155 - 174mph top speed)
(M4 with competition package 0-60mph is 3.8s, the convertible is 4.2s)

Aaaaaand, dude in M4 better be a damn good driver . 400 plus hp, rear wheel drive and no launch control (I assume). Hard to repeat those 0-60 times.

I think the M4 has launch control, but yeah it's RWD. I wouldn't be surprised if the RS3 beats it in a straight line from a stop.
