Wonder if the turbo size differs or does anything differ besides tune on the s8 520hp and the s8 plus 650hp engines

Keep using the autocorrect...I think you mean 605, not 650. Then realize the straight/pre plus S8 comes in at about 575HP dead stock on dynos pre tunes. Factory likely just sandbagged it and tried to make RS7 at 560 seem like king of heap. APR says S8 577HP stock on 93 octane; can't be sure at 91 octane like here in CA. Then delta to 605 isn't much and can easily just be chip, unless 605 sandbagged too.... APR say theirs is 646HP at 91 octane, stage 1. Another clue it is just in tune is I don't think any of the chip guys have a distinct chip for the Plus (or RS7 Performance) that shows a delta compared to non tweaked factory version--the 520 nominal HP one for S8.

so I found an s8 I might be interested in now lol...there is only 1 used 2015 s8 i would want to buy because of the color, however it has 45,000 miles on it...what you guys think? car is 2 years old and with all those miles I would just assume that most of it is highway.
should i buy it if the price is right? i am going to put on probably another 45k miles in 2 years also so wonder how much it will depreciate in 2 years.

Heh....A LOT. If you're worried about depreciation, you're really barking up the wrong tree here.

Your numbers are pretty far off. If you want to know how much a car is going to be worth later, just add the mileage and time you expect to put in the car, and see what that equates to on cars now. For example, if you want to know how much it will be worth in 2 years with 25k more miles on it, look at how much a 2 year older car with 25k miles more that's roughly equivalent in equipment to the one you are looking at now. In this case, a 2013 S8 with 70k miles seems to be listing for $44-48k, as a fairly rough ballpark.
