I had an EVO 6 and my first S4, twin turbo,to play with for about 8 Months. Pure heaven!!!!!!!! But a bit extravagant so the EVO went in the end. (There were other reasons)
I think you could do worse than repeat the same combination with the new EVO, and the new RS4 when it comes out....... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

The EVO 4, IMO, is a far more enjoyable car than the latest offerings. Accepted that the 6,7,8s faster and have a higher ultimate cornering ability, the 4 displays a suppleness of chassis, adjustability and feel that is lacking on the later models. The 6 onwards are quite blunt tools that do a lot of the work for the driver - plus for road use the zone in which they start to let go is very fast and very high. £ per £ a nice EVO 4 (circa 10k) would be, for me, a much more attractive option...
Re RS4 - as standard this car is NOT FUN. It is overweight, under damped, under braked and is akin to piloting a boat. For me, coming from the S4 with APR software, it is underpowered too. I have seen the thick end of £20k spend on RS4s to get them sorted, and it only goes some of the way there. If we are talking big milage GT then OK, RS4 is good (assuming you get a power and brake upgrade), but for pure driving fun, forget it!

I think the 4 & 5 Both had AYC too. I still think the 6 Will go down as the 'classic' EVO /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I was thinking the 'new' RS4 When it comes out would be pretty good. Must admit I prefer my 'modified' S4 to anything else available at the moment!

I totally agree, a modified S4 saloon is AMAZING... specially when mine is running at 470Bhp /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
