Default Anyone else considering "trading up" to an S6 Avant?

For the money I could keep the S4 and get a Suburban to haul my bikes & windsurfing gear. An S4 Avant is still too small to my liking. But going to a Tip...I don't know.

Any thoughts?

Default 340hp all the way up at 7000rpm, only 310 lb-ft, only 5 gears, an automatic no less, and 4200 lbs...

...no thanks. Me bets that thing will be lucky to beat a 14.9 in the 1/4 mile.

Default All 3 of my runs that night were under 14.9, worst (and first ever) being a 14.7...

...since my best was only a 14.3, I wonder how much better it would have been with non-sticking Forge valves?
