Default Why I will be driving an S4 next spring:

I've been through a progression of cars through the years:

Fiat 128
BMW 2002
Honda Prelude
Acura Integra GSR
Audi A4 2.8 (now)

(All of them great, but notice no American cars. Hmmm...)

I love my A4, but when I test drove an S4 last week, I had to have it! That thing was KILLER! The only thing that car needs is a short shift kit.

And when you consider that $600 extra buys you a Stage 1 from APR, you've got 308 HP, and around 375 ft-lbs of torque. We're talking insane power without worries.

Do yourself a favor and test-drive one of these before you put all your money into the A4 mods.

I will find a way to make the payments.

Default I wouldn't say without worries. Many s4 owners have had problems

chipped or not. Speculation includes bent oil lines, weak f-hoses, and excessive heat. Search the s4 forum and you will find out. Oh and I didn't even mention the tranny problems. Not that I don't think it's an awesome car, hell I spent a year convincing my father to get one. I just think maybe audi has some issues to work out, and probably by the time you get one they will have!

Too bad the suspension sucks. You'll see what I mean when you get that chip.

I'm sure hoping the issues will be resolved by then!

No worries - are you kidding? Monitor the S4 forum. Don't get me wrong, HUGE S4 fan!

So I guess I'll pretend that I'm a stage 3 guy.

Default yeah that'll work. No actually there is good information and good people,

you just have to wade through some BS to get to it. See I am interested in stage III because I have a brother that won't let off about how much better the s4 is than the a4 and this and that. Well for starters he drives a f'n dodge dakota, and doesn't believe that some day in the future I will smoke my dad. Oh yes, that will be awesome
