You're a fag. I just hope that you don't have as many problems as the other Audi owners out there.

Those cars are at a track. The tape is there to prevent damage from stones kicked up by other cars.

Dude, you didn't actually read the first page of this post, and someone already got this tape thingy figure it out here's the answer
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">I think they do that when they ran on the race track, and the tape is probably a protective covering from the small debris to prevent breaking the headlight lens, or if the headlight got hit by stone the tape will hold or prevent shattering headlight glasses on the track.. Just my 2 cents</font>

Define "better". What do you consider better? Why did you hate the car? Is it because it wasn't yours and you knew you couldn't have one? Or Maybe because it wasn't a mighty ACURA. Didn't perform like an ACURA huh? hahahaha I've never had anyone drive my car and not walk away with a BIG ASS GRIN on there face. We are talking M3, etc owners here. You own one. If you weren't impressed with the S4, you're lying out your ass... Either that or you're lying about owning an M3....

I agree that you will have a silly-ass grin whenever you drive an S4. They are great cars. But, I do think that the S4 and Audi's in general need work on the gearchange. The only Audi's that I have driven were an S4 and a TT Quattro roadster. Both had the same imprecise gearchange. I prefer the shift action to be a little "notchier" as it is on a BMW (I love the ZF shifter on the 328/330) Hopefully when the next generation A4/S4 makes it to the US, Audi will have made the gearchange a little better. That being said, I still liked the S4, but it isn't like an M3.

Hmmmm.... I own an M3 and I'm not impressed by the S4. I don't like turbo lag, plus it handles like a boat compared with an M3.

Don't even get me started on all the blown turbos that owners are dealing with, or the bad blow-off valves either....

I have 2 friends who own S4s. Driven both of them. The car is a blast to drive, however, I have to agree about the shifter. Very sloppy. Thats one of the biggest complaints my friends have also about their S4s. It really sucks when you have to shift from 2 to 3rd or 4th to 5th due to the loose shifting.

Also, they both have had their turbos replaced already with less than 20k miles on it.

Overall, nice cars, however like every other car, they need some work.

I love it when people form an alliance or dedication to a car and a car company that couldn't give a shit about anything but the money in your pocket. Hello children...wake up and smell the cash burning. You guys are fighting over the idea that one car company is better than another because you drive the car made by them. That company just managed to get $30,000 or more dollars out of your pocket because they suckered you into thinking it is the best car for the money. Dont compound your stupidity by now claiming that this particular company is better than other car companies. They are BUSINESSES out to make a buck and people like you, fighting over them are morons buying into the so-called "racing heritage" of a car company. Give me a fucking break. If you had any brains you would realize that a car is nothing more than a piece of tin that is useless at best. We have all bought a car that we think will make us look good when going from point A to point B. If you expect anything more than that from a car you are dumber than a box of rocks. Get off your high horses and turbochargers and get back to reality. I think we have all been made a little dumber just by reading the posts in this thread.
