On a far more modest scale, I was the only one (aged 22) allowed to drive the bosses Merc. That was in a company of 15ish people.
I'd done my IAM course but other than that, I still have no idea why!

So what would you have. A RS4 a RS5 or the S4 in the vid, plus the car in the vid is auto, think the manual is slightly faster and it's the new RS4 with launch control. For 20k you would get a early RS4, for the same money S4 you would get a newer car that would be a sleeper that you could de tune to standard map and get a cheaper fuel bill.
P.s are the RS4 and RS5 the same performance wise?

You can chip the S no problem - but the RS has the full package with brakes and suspension etc - I will prob wait for the rs3 saloon before I change mine. The RS adds elements you cannot get from "chipping" - straight line yes chipping wins

Yeah the S4 or S5 which we see a fair few of and driven, to me don't look or feel really different inside or out to a normal A4/A5 sportline. They just go alot faster.
The RS on the otherhand looks and feels like a RS, its hard to pinpoint but it just seems more focused and hardcore. Their are lots of subtle differences to the looks and the way they feel to drive. I know this as I want a RS4 avant to replace my Golf with, so naturally looked at the S4 as an alternative as they are a lot more common and cheaper, but it just doesn't win it with me. Its like full fat and semi skimmed

Lovely looking and sounding car the RS5, just let down by the engine's performance and the vehicle's weight IMO.
Although they are 450bhp (if it's lucky), they don't handle particularly well and straight line poke isn't that great compared to it's direct competition.
