@@CarNitty I think they are both completely different drives, C63 lairy rwd monster a proper muscle car, RS4 a little more grown up, kind of subtle performance, a more planted power. Either way both great cars 😎😎😎
I agree. Although they're competitors in the same market, they are their own animals. I love all three but the RS4 gets bonus points because of how rare and underrated it is
@@CarNitty my mate has had one before an Avant version nothing like it , pure experience to say the least 😜 I'm not far off getting one myself soon but I'm in two minds about b7 or b8 with the age of the b7 now but I am a manual guy so I dunno lol , from what a gather they are pretty reliable cars for their age as long as They're well maintained , cheers broski 🤜🤛
Got one 6 months ago, just the other day I hit 8,500rpm in 1st by accident, I thought there'd be a rev limiter but no... this is the greatest car ever!
I'm genuinely jealous. They're amazing cars and I'd love to own one but they're creeping up in value constantly. The least Audi like car I've ever driven
There should be governors in 1,2,3 to protect the engine if on factory settings & cuts off 175m/ph by factory chips... & the car will not rev that high if not up to temp & Sports button engaged it will not rev over 7.5k from the factory If yours is doing that(no cut outs etc) I'd guess its chipped like mine in which I agree with you absolute pleasure!🤔😉 Love how ppl always call the air induction a whine but I run GruppeM cold air unit so may be different set up😎👍

I have Driven them all and love them all 100% but I own a lovely b7 rs4 :-) it's so dam special and rare drives like a dream audis best sedan ever made
Good work - tax wise, early 06 versions fell within the lower tax bracket….fortunate for some. The whining you hear are the high pressure fuel pumps. Great car definitely an appreciating classic. 👍👍👍
You'd have to be so lucky to beat that March 2006 deadline to hit the low road tax band! Thanks for clarifying what that noise was! And definitely, it's an amazing car!
B7 rs4 is the bomb 💣 😍 special machine indeed will keep mine forever ♥️ Had to watch your video again its bang on great review honest and 10000000% correct
I own one, its really cool cruiser....widebody from factory, good stance on coilovers+spacers...oem wheels are nice - but when I hear on some videos its a monster , its not, its not a fast car, it was pretty quick in 2007/2008 but nothing crazy :) cheers!
Yep, the owner has listed it for sale. His reasoning for the price is it's not for sale but everything has a price so if someone's willing to pay that or near that, it's theirs.
Nice video man! Nice to see these cars are still appreciated. Subscribed and followed I have Rs4 content for potential owners too As Far as I know the whine sound the car makes is because it uses straight cut gears to operate accessories in place of a traditional serpetine belt. Somebody correct if they have more nerd understanding of the whine sound lol
These cars are definitely appreciated. One of the best cars I've ever driven by far! Someone else has commented that think the sound is from the high pressure fuel pump perhaps?
That honestly breaks my heart. I love Ireland because of the people, history and culture. I wouldn't have been against migrating over to Ireland at some point into the future but that's a bit of a deal breaker! The UK govt are more lenient than the Irish? What an absurdity 🤣
Yeah, this country does not cater for anyone who's a motoring enthusiast. Anything over 3Ltr pre 2008 is €1809 and post 2008 is €2350. So a b8 rs4, f10 m5 etc. Anything over 30 years is only €56 per year. But if you have a nice car that you only want to take out on a sunny sunday, you better have deep pockets.
Glad you enjoyed the video. It's a heavily underrated car so I'm privileged to have driven it. I'd love to get my hands on those if possible and will not turn down the chance if the opportunity arises
It's funny you've mentioned the ISF. I think if you hang tight and keep an eye on the next upload on this channel, you may be able to see my thoughts on one 👀
@@CarNitty that will be great. Just a little note the ISF won’t reveal it self fully unless you spend a fair amount of time in the car. Gearbox is Fablous be sure to shift at high rpm (when it beeps) to get the fast shifts.
I've already driven the ISF and the video has been edited and uploaded. It's scheduled release date is 06/11. Although the gearbox isn't that fast, it wasn't the biggest thing that let it down. For me, it was the suspension. It felt quite soft for a car if it's class but I'll leave it as that for the full review
@@CarNitty Suspension if anything is too stiff but with speed the dampeners come into there own. Gearbox is ultra quick when it needs to be otherwise its a slushy Lexus (low to medium speeds) i'll await for the upload.
@@CarNitty it's Ramadan i rather stick to making duas instead. In Shaa Allah they're answered to I can get to have all 3 from the trio before the govement make it impossible owning one. I like your choice of cars on the channel, I would consider so many of them. Please get some imprezas and evos on. I know so many have done it but it would be good to get your take on the e46 m3 as well
Unfortunately, it's up to owners offering their cars to me or I come across people that I'm able to approach and bring them on board so let's see what the future holds
I don’t buy that it’s torque limited in the first 3 gears. It doesn’t know what gear it’s in aside from speed and rpm. I noticed no real difference in the first 3 gears between tuned and stock.
Shakz is very familiar with the B7 as this is his second car and I've seen a lot of other MRC tuned RS4s around so clearly the benefits are worth it to some
@@CarNitty I am very familiar too. We don’t have MRC over here but I’ve driven mine both stock and tuned and there’s very little difference at all. Matter of fact, I kinda like stock better.
Let’s be realistic, a 4.2 R8 isn’t a supercar, and as much as I love the RS4, they only have about 380bhp, not 420ps unless they are tuned and they are very heavy. They are pretty slow nowadays and will be outpaced by a modern 3.0 turbo diesel.
To be categorised as a supercar, it's not necessarily about the power. It's the engine placement, width and the shape/sillouhette of a car and an R8 fits that category.
Which kind of car do you drive? You probably got your information from TH-cam videos and idiot comments. I have owned an RS4 for over 6 years, after the last carbon cleaning, my RS4 has 416 hp, no tuning. If you have no idea and your knowledge from hearing , then be quiet..😘

C63 all day long more torque, better sound and RWD for skids
The C63s engine is indeed better. But everything else is better on the Audi. Don't knock the Quattro until you've driven one!
@@CarNitty I think they are both completely different drives, C63 lairy rwd monster a proper muscle car, RS4 a little more grown up, kind of subtle performance, a more planted power.

C63 amg w204 facelift with the ppp for me.
B7 RS4 has always been my number 1 car since they first came out , 👌
If you ever get the chance to drive one, it'll live up to your expectations!
@@CarNitty my mate has had one before an Avant version nothing like it , pure experience to say the least 😜 I'm not far off getting one myself soon but I'm in two minds about b7 or b8 with the age of the b7 now but I am a manual guy so I dunno lol , from what a gather they are pretty reliable cars for their age as long as They're well maintained , cheers broski 🤜🤛
I own a RS 4 b7 and i use it everyday it really is special and a lot more practical than you think what a pleasure
It really is an amazing car. It drives beautifully!
Youve done the na RS4. You’ve done the W204 6.2. So now its time for the E9X to complete the top gear trio 👌🏽
Tell me about it. I'm waiting for one to just present itself 😈
Rs4 daddy cars always loved em, rs4 an rs6 are 2 of my favourite cars
Definitely, I'm not an Audi man but this car is one of the best cars I've ever driven and I still think about it even to this day
@@CarNitty been a passenger in a rs4 cab turned me on when that S button got pushed.. next level thing,
Great video. Keep up your great work
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words 🙌
Had one and loved it
Very jealous. Amazing cars to be able to get into
I'm in the market looking to buy rs4
Thanks for the review
You're welcome. Hope this video helps your buying decision!
Hope U got your b7 rs4 ❤ love mine U will not be disappointed
My 3.2 V6 A4 had that same 'supercharger like' whine youse described. Sounded fantastic especially for a V6.
Amazingly addictive noise!
Yet no supercharger in site.... love it!
Just love how he drives and sends it without seatbelt whatsoever
Haha unfortunately I can't comment much on that
I love my audi quattro,,, will carry you home in any condition and soooooo understated. I love your excitement after unleashing the beast
It's an amazing engine. Definitely one of the best powerplants to come out of Audi's HQ
What a beast of a car!!
This looks exciting af, would love to get behind the wheel on this!
Best CN video out so far for sure
It's genuinely one of the best driver's cars I've been driven. Definitely a big highlight in my CN career

I still think the manual element if it still makes it a fast car even by today's standards and that stage 2 MRC tune really opened this one up
What a weapon 😍
Had my eye on these 4 years .Just Sold My Hsv VXR8 Next Rs4 Thanks Guys Great Vid

What a lovely machine. Definitely food for thought on which is the best out of the trio...
Picking between the three is honestly not an easy choice but then again those that are and to afford that choice should count their lucky stars
Nice video man! Nice to see these cars are still appreciated. Subscribed and followed I have Rs4 content for potential owners too

Someone else has commented that think the sound is from the high pressure fuel pump perhaps?
@@CarNitty I don’t think so, the same style of hpfp are used on a number of audi models and they don’t make the sound
Whatever it is, it sounds sublime!
Agreed!
I’m a simple man I see a vid from Mizan I click
Appreciate the support and loyalty ❤️
Another great video. I've got some classics if u want to review
Thanks for your kind comment. Please reach out to me via Instagram DMs or email via carnitty@gmail.com
Audi doesn't do lazy engines. That's oe thing I love about them.
£630 is nothing. In Ireland, we have to pay €1809 for road tax on these 😢
That honestly breaks my heart. I love Ireland because of the people, history and culture. I wouldn't have been against migrating over to Ireland at some point into the future but that's a bit of a deal breaker! The UK govt are more lenient than the Irish? What an absurdity 🤣

@Harry92evers that's honestly heartbreaking to hear. I'm actually sorry to hear that as you can't justify spending that much to drive and old V8
Loved the video bro. One of my favourite car of all time. Please get an evo on the channel. 8,9 or 10 honestly it drives like no other. Or a r35 gtr
Glad you enjoyed the video. It's a heavily underrated car so I'm privileged to have driven it. I'd love to get my hands on those if possible and will not turn down the chance if the opportunity arises
Do you think that sound comes out of the gearbox???
No because it happens when the cars in gear when it's not doing a shift of any kind
Nope air induction & real mechanical sounding engine especially when on song!
Gta 5 pause menu theme at "Summary" =))
Very good spot 🤣
Great review, one to consider and throw in the mix is a Lexus IS-F, Ive gone from a B8 RS4 to a Lexus IS-F.
It's funny you've mentioned the ISF. I think if you hang tight and keep an eye on the next upload on this channel, you may be able to see my thoughts on one 👀
@@CarNitty that will be great. Just a little note the ISF won’t reveal it self fully unless you spend a fair amount of time in the car. Gearbox is Fablous be sure to shift at high rpm (when it beeps) to get the fast shifts.

I think so too!
Great video, I enjoyed it to the end. No one I need to think how I can get the money for an rs4 🤔
Selling an organ is a good bet if you ask me! 🤣

Unfortunately, it's up to owners offering their cars to me or I come across people that I'm able to approach and bring them on board so let's see what the future holds
Im sure the whine is due to the chains.
Whatever it is, it seems to be a signature sound for these engines!
Timing chains near the valves I believe 🙏 love hearing it live when Iam flooring mine
Why wouldn't you wear a seat belt?
That's people's own personal decision
Pretty much feels like one...
I don’t buy that it’s torque limited in the first 3 gears. It doesn’t know what gear it’s in aside from speed and rpm. I noticed no real difference in the first 3 gears between tuned and stock.

Matter of fact, I kinda like stock better.
its torque limited by 50% in 1st-3rd we have seen this on many dyno graphs.
Yea but how does it compare to an e39 m5. G.O.A.T
They're both manual saloons with a big V8 up top. The E39s are worth a lot of money and I can see why a B7 would be a good second choice
@@CarNitty in the us they are around the same.
Unfortunately not the case in the UK
@@CarNitty you can get both of them for around $30k with 90k miles here.
Rs4 £360 tax if early 06
Mainly 55 plate to be on the safe side
give it some beans converts it to German lmao
Bmw brought their v8 after the rs4 b7 first produced ...
Regardless of which came out first, they're all competitors and share the same powerplant
You said audi b7 was brought out to compete with the v8 m3 which is wrong,,,its the other way around.just pointing out a fact...
Thanks for pointing that out
Let’s be realistic, a 4.2 R8 isn’t a supercar, and as much as I love the RS4, they only have about 380bhp, not 420ps unless they are tuned and they are very heavy. They are pretty slow nowadays and will be outpaced by a modern 3.0 turbo diesel.

You would have to dyno the car to reveal it's true horsepower. Before you do this 380 hp is just claim too, this one could well be making over 400.
