What am I in for?
>>28776423Punishingly stiff suspension, but good acceleration and handles.

>>28776433fippydrives beautifully but it’s too stiff for daily driving
>>28776437Fun
>>28776423More hp than a CTR
>>28776423I dailied one for a few years when they first came out. Concerns about the suspension have always been waaaay blown out of proportion. It's totally fine. I always suspected it was a psyop from weeaboos mad we had more hp than the type r.

>>28776423a ticking timebomb (blown headgasket)
The engine is probably the weakest part of the car. Fantastic car but it feels like a "weak" 350hp compared to the slightly less powerful B58, EA888 etc. For me, speaking as someone who loves fast Fords, I'm not sure the RS makes sense when they go for the same money as something like a C43 AMG or quite a bit more than a Jag XE S. I went for the XE which has a great supercharged engine and the car itself feels like a RWD Focus ST. Only downside is no manual.
black mamba
>*head gasket has left the chat*You have to be a pure retard to spend more money for less performance than a 5.0.
>>28776912>>28777011Crazy how with access to infinite information people will still choose to be misinformed
>>28776513> weeaboos mad we had more hp than the type r.Ahead of you bro >>28776469 - I have never driven the Chad RS, but the CTR has the same reputation and it's fine. I always set it to R anyway, since "Comfort" barely helps but makes it floaty.>>28776925I had an old B5 Audi S4, that thing felt like it PULLED, even though it was a slower 0-60 than the CTR
>>28777081the b5 a4 with the naturally aspirated v6 was kinda gutlessit did 130 mph but it just wasn't much funI was always very jealous of the turbo, to say nothing of the later v8I think at some point manufacturers may realize bringing back NA 6 and 8 cylinder engines for prestige small cars might make sense.
>>28777091I am guessing you are the guy I always talk to - I had the V6 B5 Passat, I think that thing pulled hard too.
>>28777093that was just the na 2.8 tho in the passatthe s4 had the turbocharged 2.7 enginei had an a4 with both the 1.8t and the na v6 and they were both equally fast I mean the v6 was ok smooth and all that but not especially powerful or fast I thought the 1.8T engine was a lot nicer than the 2.0 that superseded it.
>>28777011It wasn't really that much less performance in 2015. It was way faster 0-60 and way more consistent especially in the streets because awd and only a little bit slower in the quarter mile. Plus you get that performance in a 4 door hatchback compared to a cramped coupe
You're in for getting some enlisted kid's used goods after he removes the high boost map with crackle tune it's been running on for years.
>>28776423fun
>>28776423I love mine, no ragerts. I put mine up for the winter, just got it out to bounce around the driveway and annoy the neighbors when I redline it, I can't wait for spring. Biggest annoyance is getting it up on ramps or stands.
>>28776423An ancient car, past its use by date
>>28778684lol
