Spanked by S4
Raced an s4 avant (v6 bi-turbo). From 40-100, he had me by 3 car lenths. Then we came up to a light and raced from a stop. I felt as though I was not moving as he put 2 car lenths on me before 30 mph. Gate shifted through both races and bounced of the limiter in first once during the second race.
Those cars are fast, too bad the turbos need to be rebuilt at 50k.

They really are fast cars. Walked past an S6 today at a light. Such a nice car and the interior looked sick with the dash and buttons all lit up. Had him by about 1, maybe 2 lengths then the light changed and he was gone.

Throw an SC on your car or some juice and I'm sure you will show a few S4s your tailights. Hey, it's the fun of the game. Just never know what you'll run into.

I spoke to a kid at school who owns an s4 and is a fanatic, he said that a lot of s4's have problems with turbos when they hit 50k and higher. Also, my friend was looking into buying an s4 last year but encountered many stories about problems with the turbos around that mileage. He ended buying s2k.

I know atleast 3 guys w/ over 100k miles on their original turbos w/ modified cars. One guy in particular didn't even do the routine service on his S4....just crazy. The key to keeping the car intact is keeping the hoses in check. Bad boost leaks will do the small K03s in.
