Too bad it was wet out there, would have been fun to see them playing on a dry track.

well for one, he's running DR's, so they are far from pointless and actually needed. Long extravigant burnouts in normal street tires are pointless. But a quick little one is still good because you need to create heat in the tire.
But things like NT555R's, BFG drag radials, etc definately need a burnout to heat up the tires.
I notice a good difference with even my T1R's heated and cold (my car is f'ing scary with cold tires)

I'd still choose the RS4 due to it's Quattro drive an essential to a canadian winter
The Lexus is nice but I can't get past the huge hood bulge.

all work and no play
Underground builds some badass cars. A good friend of mine, and former roommate bought a Saleen S351 that he built....google Saleen Flyby and thats the car. The guy he bought it from had replaced it with a viper that was being built by Underground as well.
for the STi
