Nice ... [thumbsup] The US folks are into this kind of "friendly racing".

 

Anyway, from audiworld, it seems like

1. A stock S4 loses to stock STI slightly on a roll

2. A stock S4 loses to stock STI big time on a standstill

3. A chipped S4 likely to win a modded STI, but still from a roll [:)]

Actually dude, the S4 has mild mods on it otherwise it won't pull like a MOFO [laugh]

 

High end wise, no doubt about it. S4 is quick.

 

Its for a historical fact that AWD (STI etc etc etc) are quicker off the launch compared with FR (350Z, GTT34 etc etc etc) so thats nothing new.

 

Lets talk about how the story ends at 130kph and above. [:)]

Err ... u r not mistaking that S4 is FR right? Coz it is on permanent 4WD with torsen center differential.

 

Also not forgeting that the STI in that video is a 2.5L engine. I have a Fifth gear video on the STI (2L) vs EVO vs S4, and seems like the S4 beat the STI from a dig.

Oh yeah my bad [laugh]

 

Always thought the S4 was FR. [rolleyes]

 

Fifth and top gear are usually for kicks. Their track timings have far too many variables that are off sync. Tiff tends to be abit of a driftster. [rolleyes]

Aiyo they are the historical master of AWD leh, not copier of BMW lah. [;)]

 

Just realised from the file name of the video that this S4 is probably using the older 2.7L bi-turbo stock 250HP V6 engine, but modded to higher spec LPT, instead of the newer 4.2L NA V8 stock 344hp engine.

 

Saw the ST today? The new RS4 rocks, 4.2L NA for 420HP with max torque available at 2250rpm onwards. [sweatdrop] Got to read up more...

 

But trust Audi to confuse everyone but jumping between the NA and turbocharging wagon like nobody biz. [laugh]

Its interesting how you use BMW as if they are the only FR in this world. I like your personality. [thumbsup]

 

RS4. 4.8 sec car. Try downloading a few clips of the RS4 attacking the Nurburgring. [inlove]

Alluding to your nic also mah ... [laugh]

 

Sh*t i hate attacking the Nurburgring in GT4, bloody long and tiring and the car must be really super fine tuned in terms of suspension to do well there, else u float all over the place. [sweatdrop]

I have seen (first hand) an Audi RS6 Avant smoke a Subaru WRX along Alexandra Road (SAJC part) one night.

After many seconds, the WRX driver realized no fight and gave up. [laugh]

 

The Audi station wagon turned left into the black and white bungalow estate just before the AYE turnoff.

You bet! The Audi RS6 is one sleeper of an actually very very fast station wagon, co-designed by Audi and Porsche. It even uses the large red Porsche brake discs. AFAICR, 0-100 in 4+ secs ... bi-turbo, 4WD Quattro with Torsen Differentials.

 

Stock to stock, the WRX cannot even touch the RS6 ..... inspite of the latter being 'only' a station wagon. [thumbsup]

RS6s are the ultimate sleepers. Those things pull like a freaking train on one of the Nurburgring videos I downloaded. [jawdrop]

 

Have yet to spot any RS6s. S4 once but that was a couple of years ago. Managed to spot a Ferrari 612, CLS 55 AMG ("I think" its a full carlsson bodykit [inlove] ), E55 AMG and 2 M5s with 1 of them debadged. [inlove]
