[s-cars] Audi "Streets of Tomorrow Ride and Drive...the nextday"

[mlp on D530]

Nice write up Scott.  I'm looking forward to seeing how the new RS4 will be
received, particularly by a dye-in -the-wool, don't take my turbo away crowd
such as the UrS4 listers.  IMO, and I've been lucky enough to have 6 full
track days in a couple on both the Nordschleif as a couple of Formula 1
tracks, its well.......  not a UrS4/6

OTOH it is however, a very, very, very quick car.  I didn't think it would
have been in contention as a possible car choice ~ I was expecting the US
base price to be in the mid to high 70's putting it in the too much $$$ for
the bang column, but now I see reports MSRP base pricing is to be @ $66k,
which means I may have to re-think that proposition.  

Still can't see to get through to the S-List for some reason.  I was looking
to post a general inquiry about list experience, if any, and general
opinions re Porsche's (or any other mfg's) ceramic brake systems.  see e.g,

No Audi content per se, but...... In considering future possible automotive
options, has anyone got any good information, or comparative data etc. on
the pros &/or cons of ceramic braking systems?  e.g.

   http://www.europeancarweb.com/tech/0406ec_brakes/index.html 

Any lister's with experience with the ceramic systems? or informed opinion
about the pros & cons thereof?  In the same vein, views/opinion's on the
Cayman as a choice vs. some version of the 997 or other alternative?  

Thanks
