Default 14.6 quarter mile at 100.5mph! c55 amg just handed the b6 its a$$...

Lets see, How can I get myself excited about the b6 s4? I get worse gas milage than a bigger v8 that the amg uses, brakes that take 24 more feet than the amg to stop the car from 80, boys and girls, 24 feet is a huge!

From what I have read on the b6 forum the brakes are so much better than the b5! How? Please explain.

This is a jewel of a v8? This is what 340hp gets you? Please help me understand what part of this car is worth $50 large!


Once again this is no bash on the people that love the b6, but as a huge audi fan, I feel that audi has failed BIG with this car. New body style already? I expect flavor of the month changes to jap cars but not Audi!

I hope the bean counters at Audi are happy that they are saving money on Turbo/warranty issues by going N/A but come on! Only one thing can make me happy, a 3liter biturbo or the rs3, otherwise its lots of waxing and polishing the b5.

I don't understand your post - the B6 S4 does much better than a 14.6@105.

Default if you want a sports car, get a corvette. If you want a comfortable daily driver w/ AWD safety and

some pretty damn good performance, get an S4.
