Auto trans, no mods, good tires, the Audi was the older S4 with 2.7 turbo. Geez, I thought they were faster. Highway race from about 50mph+. He never had a chance, and by 120 had him by several car lengths. I guess that's why the newer ones have V8s.

 

Wow.. I'm a little surprised, I used to own a b5 s4 6mt. It was surprisingly not that fast for a tt v6 in stock form, though the power band was huge. However I'd say it was maybe a little quicker or at least even with my stock 3g tl 6mt. A chipped s4 I think would kick the living daylights out of a TL though. That thing was a beast with the stage 1 chip.

 

Nice kill. Those cars do better from a dig then they do from a roll(especially the 6MT). AWD doesn't help their top end.

 

Doesn't surprise me at all. The auto s4 in that year was a low 15 second car in stock form.

 

Agree. With the chip, the tt S4 can do 1/4 mile in the low 13s.

 

Must be a big difference between the trannies. In factory form, the B5 6MT is a very low 14 second car.

 

Yeah, yeah.. if it was chipped... and if the TL had a SC... the point was that it was stock vs. stock and, given the similar power specs, etc... I walked away from the guy with ease. He had that look on his face like the 325 driver does when I do the same.

 

+1 i always thought they were deep into the 14's stock? i would imagine that the auto be only a few .00 slower if at all

 

From a dig the S4 MT is slower than a WRX, but eventually it will catch up, and the WRX traps at ~94-95mph. I'd imagine the S4 would trap at 96-97? But I guess the AT is slower that's why the OP managed to pull on it? Besides, I think turbo cars are slower than usual in hot, humid condition right?

 

whoops didnt read OP full post. that sounds about right considering it was from semi-high mph roll plus AWD/AT power train loss.

 

I think the B5 S4 is a little quicker than the WRX to 60. Most mags say 5.5 for the Audi and 5.7 for the Subaru. S4 traps 98-99. The S4 isn't the porky pig some A4's are either. I was surprised to find it weighs in the 3500's.

 

Yea, it's something like that, S4 is supposed to be faster than the WRX.

 

B5 S4 6mt is faster than a wrx 5mt in a straight line, mod for mod of course. I know, I've owned and modded both. Twisties is another story..

 

I didn't even know the S4 came in a A/T either way though, a stock S4 TT isn't very fast.

A 3G TL should be about even with the 6M/T S4 2.7T

 

u got lucky the s4 can become quite a beast with some meth injection and a big turbo. There is a handful at my local track running low 12's high 11's.

 

S4's are a handful for TL's... even the type S... just by chipping... 2.7 biturbo or newer V8's rock....

 

I have a 03 TL-S and a 01 S4. Stock B5S4 is about 5.5 sec, 14 quarter.

So stock to stock they should be close.

 

All I can say it that I let the guy in front of me once... I came up so close behind him, I just passed him on the right without a problem and kept on gaining. I've had the same experience against the older A6 with the 2.7T. Of course, the A6 is heavier than the S4.

 

I'm guessing from a stand-still, the lighter S4 would beat the TL to 60 - it would have to, I have NEVER seen a 5.5 0-60 in my car! Then again, so would one of those Neon SRT4s. It's a lot more fun pulling away while on the run.

 

The S4 is 3704 according to Edmund's, making it heavier than any TL. Not sure where I saw the S4 was in the 3500 range. 3704 makes more sense with the AWD and Audi's inherently porky tendencies.

 

arent most of the older Audis overweight and underpowered anyways?

 

In terms of speed and acceleration here is the chart:

S4 > TL > IS350


Case closed.

 

...lol

 

Lol...

 

Thanks.
