That's an astronomical 1/4 mile for "only" a 4.9 0-60; would have guessed 13.5 for a 4.9 0-60

The article also said they (EC) smoked Aaron's clutch during testing!

Default 400hp M5 takes 13.2 with a low 4.7 0-60...

Chipped S4 still has less HP than that, but better traction off the line, meaing the 0-60 goes by faster (relatively) on an S4 than the 60-xxx part of the quarter mile whereas on an M5 the 60-xxx part of the quarter mile goes by faster (relatively) than the 0-60 part. I don't think I've seen a single car tested in the magazines that turned a 4.9 0-60 and got a 12.9 or better on the quarter.

Default July 2000 CAR mag has the RS4 v. Skyline compro...I think I soiled myself just reading the article

This car seems to be so quick, I'd have to buy stock in Depends if I bought one. The Avant is running with that 400hp M5.
