Default S8 vs B7 Alpina

Pretty good review for the S8.


Anyone have feedback on the A8 APR chip? Can't imagine what this would do for the car!

While not an Alpina B7, I did test drive the 7-series when looking at cars. It was like driving a pile of bricks. I was not impressed. Nor was I comfortable with that ridiculous B-pillar shoving up against my left shoulder.

Great review. The tester was a pretty harsh critic but he sure loved the S8! Again confirming that the S8 engine is way underrated on HP and torque by Audi. I was a little surprised that the B7 was so overrated by BMW, but then it is considerably slower than the S8.
