Default Quickness? (more)

The S2000 beats the S4 down in terms of quickness... but in terms of power, speed and torque, the S4 is the hands-down winner. I love my S2000, but it's really good for darting around town as if you're in a go kart... for highway cruising, you just can't beat the S4. There really isn't a comparison between these cars though, as one is a little roadster, and the other is a 4 door sedan.

Default Real Close.

Real close. 0-60 on an S2000 is about 5.8 sec. 0-60 on a stock S4 6-speed is 5.5-5.9 sec., depending on who did the testing. S2000 has better road grip, though -- a formidable .95g on the skidpad. Even with mods, that's a tough number to contend with.

Default torque alone doesn’t make a car fast, just gets a HEAVY car moving fast...

Default S2000.. 5.2 secs.. S4... 5.5.. S2000 ..0-60.. 113.. S4 ...118...READ ..

1/4mile
s2000...13.8/100.5
S4....14.1/98.3..
add a chip and the S4 blows the doors off the S2000.. when european car mag tested the Neuspeed chipped S4 .. they got..
1/4 mile 13.1/106.5
0-60 in 4.9sec "but there was a lil smoking and the clutch was slipping".. they said they will be releasing a 400hp K04 package but that will DEFINITLY need a tougher clutch...<p>John

Default 5.2 to 60 in an S2000??? what was that a 9000 rpm clutch dump?

I heard the factory 5.5 seconds required a new clutch after 3 runs.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/carssmall4.jpg">
