I was thinking if I can make the balance of weight more neutral by shedding some front end weight plus boost horse power up to 225 it will produce a car superior to an S4 Avant. Being lighter of neutral balance and with less weight/hp it should out perform an S4.

Now, any sugestions on how to make this happen?

You will never come close to the low end torque of an S4.

You don't need to if you aren't trying to launch as much weight.

you'd have to add weight to achieve balance, not practical. the stage 3+ kit will get you just under 300 hp, which will compete with the s4. depending on the driver, as always...

I'm sure there are other bits that can be trimmed.

Custom built radiator, machine the head & block, and remove the A/C system!

Now we're getting somewhere!!! How much weight have we saved so far?

Is this info published anywhere?

Two can play at that game. An S4 can be made almost as light as an A4, the engine block is the only real difference.

Let's see... Where will we machine the block? Deck it 2"?? That's the ticket!!
