REALITY CHECK: An RS4 will cost about $80,000 in the USA. That's more than twice the price of a new IX MR and over 3 times what I paid for my '04 RS.
My daily driver is a B6 S4, so I know of what I speak. The Audi is WAY too heavy to be a good track car.
On the street, if you can afford the price of admission, the RS4 will be a terrific car, but I have a hard time seeing it as an alternative to an EVO. Just a completely different class of car.

Launching a high hp AWD car always has the possibility of being problematic. AMS has the best products DSS level V shafts that's 4K right there, Shep trans and diff 3K, a triple Exedy 2K...that's money 9K plus the install if it's someone not doing their own work. AMS has busted two rear shafts that I know of.
You can take a viper and run all day at 600rwhp the 8.55@174mph viper still runs IRS and hasn't broken a shaft yet. There is no way to make AWD "Bulletproof" for lack of a better word.

Evo is my second car. There is no point in M5.I would buy M6 if it was manual and AWD...

VW makes audi, its all the same thing.
I cam from hondas where you put the car up for sale and its sold in a week. way more reliable cars and less expensive to mod/maintain.
After my experience with the GTi I vowed to never own another VW/Audi again. The only thing i liked about the car is it had a very stiff chassis for being stock, and great a/c.

Audi's are good cars along with VW's but they are expensive to maintain. Although Audi's only have to be serviced every 15k kilometers or one year, when the warranty is up it will really put a dent in your wallet. At 25k kilometers an Audi RS6 has to have a full tune up that takes about 4.5 hours and $550 in parts & the front brakes will most likley have to be replaced at the same time (all covered under warranty by audi). I expect the RS4 to be in the same category as the RS6 so be prepared to spend money when the warranty is up.

Anyways I don't understand what this guy expects, when your making huge power over stock problems should be expected. If he plans to do the same thing to the RS4 (make big power) it will not be immune to problems and the repair bills will be much more expensive.

Well, I see that your 26 so we have to think about priorities here. Your pretty much at the prime of your life so I'd go with a car that will get the ladies. I doubt that the rs4 will get ladies looking. Have you considered an m3? I have a video of this m3 csl, and all I know is it looks/sounds/performs great.

If you buy the RS4 you will be bored with it after a month.
