Dave Hedgehog (I think that's the pseudonym he used for the RS4 site) is
astonished you're still on originals, he reckons (exaggerated naturally but
you get the idea) that a drive across London would do his in.
Mind you he is a VERY large block who drives every car as if he's stolen it
:-)
I'm surprised you haven't chipped the RS4, you'll get a lot more torque.
Agree with the comments about needing loads of grunt for 130+ My S4 would
easily sail through 130 but the R32 just doesn't have the muscle.

If only it was that easy, I think getting to 130mph is relatively easy
but go a littel beyond that and you need lots more horses and teflon
coating, I have only managed to see 280Kph on mine - the road testers,
managed 310Kph in standard from
I liked my S4 before it, it was probably more practical than the RS
model, the engine was torquier lower down. I was never convinced about
the bendy wheel saga though, I still have the original ones on mine
along the pirellis which are horrible (tramlining)
I think and hope the autobahn will remain unlimited, its to ingrained,
that like telling brits they can't drink beer (oh wait that's happening).
