+1 an RS4 and a bone stock IX are about dead equal in pull. I came off a stop light one time trying to merge in front of an rs4 in my 2005 Evo VIII and I was not able to pull on him at all, we stuck dead even up until 3rd then I had to change lanes. 
I had a AMS reflash and a catback exhaust, my setup might be a tad bit faster than a stock IX but it's close.

I went from an evo to a 97 tt Supra, two different beats, but god the top end on supras are NUTS!!! I love the car and with some simple suspension mods and a single conversion they are heaven!!! They can be had for ~25k, drop 4K into the motor (which will put ya ~600whp) and ~3k into suspnension and you have one bad *** car! Trust me I know ;0)
