Default Does this mean that audi will be coming out with a kit to raise the power in the rs4 to nearly 500?
i saw a thread on here where someone was speculating that audi would up the power on the rs4 once the m3 came out but everyone dismissed it saying it wasnt possible, this now makes it look like its totally plausable. i just wonder what the cost would be if it actually does happen.

Default have you not heard of the RS5? that would be a more direct comparo. but motor is speculation...
...at this point. hoping CAR is right, with 450hp and 500ft/lb tq on the 2-door RS5.

Default No cats, no mufflers, custom built headers plus remaping of the ECU, doubt a "civilized...
Street version would even come close to that power. Maybe 20 or 30 Hp extra is possible.

Default Nice lucky you! Now 2900 lbs is amazing especially with 500 HP. Of course I can't help but notice...
The Alcon brakes and Ohlin suspension in there. Sounds like the right components for the street version too!:-)

I still don't think exhaust =80HP. Guessing 9000+ redline might do it though.
