It's situated in Russia, close to Moskou I think.
The RS4 has an MTM 600hp conversion, insanely fast. It also had government plates.
The M5 was mostly stock I think.

No doubt, they can drive. My problem is, anyone of those people could change lanes, have a blow out, get cut off, and then it would be all over for them moving at 120+. They take the risk driving crazy but no one else on the road signed a waiver.

how can you see that they know how to handle the cars and power?

plus, as good as they could be, they are only good if the other people on the road are good. one slight lane change from another driver on the road and it would be diaster already. drivers drive fast and good in FI coz' they are all good. put a car in their race with me as a driver and it's the end of the race

Most people don't expect you comming up with that kind of speed.

I guess driving (and not crashing) a 600 hp car is nothing?

lucky nobody got hurt or killed is all I can say. save that crap for the track...or video games. Going fast on a deserted road is one thing...weaving in and out of traffic at those speeds is simply idiotic disregard for human life.

God, I'd love that rs4. Nothing like spanking the crap outta just about everything on the road with the family truckster (wagon/"avant"). A real wolf in sheep's clothing to most people, even though they've got that nice aggressive stance, big rubber/brakes.

Reminds me of that magnum commercial where the guy asks "What you got in there?" and the driver responds, "A guitar, a table, etc., etc.," -- only the magnum only wishes it is an rs4.

In the video, the rs4 looks to be in control, whereas the m5 frequently looked at it's limits. Neither one should be going that fast, but if someone around me is, I'd prefer they not be adding to the danger by being at the vehicle's limit

you taking things to extreme and arguing for no point. it's like saying lexus is good quality but someone will still jump out and say "heck my lexus has this rattle". what's the point.

yes it's dangerous everywhere, but does that mean you shouldn't do something to avoid it? if that's the cse, why get cops, why stop robbery. crap it's dangerous everywhere anyway, we should all just die
