Help me find out by voting for my video 
This is a completely shameless post, but if I win this contest I get an RS4 for two years.
Don't tell my B5 buddies, but I still think a B7 RS4 is a better all-arounder than a stage 3 B5 S4 :-X
Watch the videos and vote for which one you like. If it's mine, then that's great. There are a couple others that are pretty good too.
Those of you that went to a driving experience this year or who are signed up for the Year of Audi probably got an email about this a couple days ago.

Unquestionably. Big power, reliable. & once the PES or AWE SC sys comes online, watch out, baby.
She already has great power, MINUS all the reliability issues associated with a heavily-modded turbo setup. I've beaten an STI and a mid-90's M3, and only had the car for 2 mos. It's that killer 3rd & 4th gear--does it all the time.
Once PES and/or VF/AWE get their SC systems up and running, she will have extraordinary power ; the PES is suppposed to be 'around'
480hp. Oh yeah.

I think so. I hate little turbo motors. After 2 Audi vehicles with turbo motors, I wont go back.
Way too much baggage with a turbo. My B5 S4 was O.K but I grew tired of all the constant BS issues.
