I got dusted my an RS4!
On the way to Cambridge yesterday, right on my tail.
I pulled over then he zoomed past me at 120+
I thought they only had 200bhp and weighed more than Gordon Brown?
(and driven by 25 year old estate agents)

That scooby in the video must have been a duff one or the driver was proper crap, it got whooped badly

They ain't that quick, I had a really good play with one over 25 miles of lanes a couple of months back.
Had no trouble keeping up, in fact mine was faster in certain places. I don't think he was too happy considering mine is only worth about £6k
Two things I wasn't impressed with: Headlights were crap and the brakes weren't much cop.
I'd still love one though

RS4/RS6 are possibly my favourite cars. If money wasn't an object, I'd probably have one above anything else (for every day use). I love how under-stated they are, only car enthusiasts would appreciate how much power the little 'RS' badge on the back represents, or how bloody big the wheels are! (I swear, the wheels on the one I saw last week were bigger than my car).
The chap I'm buying my scooby from is getting an RS4 as a company car, might have to ask him for a go in it.

I do,
A few comments from that film:
The Audi is a understatment car, the Impreza driver isnt bothered about things like that, but the rear spoiler could be smaller
.
The Audi engineers should be given the Scoob to find out how to make a real fun sports car, (thats coming from a German T.V Show
)
If your a dentist or Doctor, buy the Audi.
If your after a fast and fun drive, buy the Scoob.
The Audi cost´s double that of the Scooby, and can only beat it in a straight line.
P.S: The Scoob won the test.

Obviously don't know how accurate that is.

Who said anything about it being from a standing start????? And why Would I be doing a 100MPH around country lanes at night?
If you look at the 0-60 times I think you'll find a scoob is quicker
As it happens we both were doing 30 out of a limit and he went to overtake, Lets put it this way, he didn't get to complete it
He only overtook me 10 miles later by doing 60 in a village 30 limit when I had slowed downMy car is far from standard and being a classic is nearly 400Kg lighter, So Perhaps you'll look at the big picture before suggesting I was smoking weed

Well according to LetsTorqueBHP - Home performance calculator, a classic with 320bhp (which is what I think Dannys has) will do 0-100 in 10.4s?
Obviously don't know how accurate that is.

I've seen this before, very theorical but not accurate for modern cars.
I was driving the Wife's Skoda Fabria (i recon the speed camera on the bridge further up the A14 probably snappped him at 100+)
