Default Just checked out an R32 parked at work

Those seats look incredible, as does the wheel and shift console. For some reason the Golf exterior has never done it for me, but I like the dual exhaust out the back.

I'd consider getting one instead of another S4 if it were turbo and offered some easy upgrades. Although then the warranty would be voided, so maybe I don't want that ;-).

There was also an RS6 parked a couple spots down. Oddly enough, there is also some dude in a Protege with an FMIC - I spoke with him about it and he said he's putting down 200 to the wheels. Didn't know Protoges had turbos!

Default They feel incredible too, I want to put a set in my S4, damn the power seats!

Sat in them at the NYC auto show, very nice, they hug my body very well. 6'0 200+ might not be too comfy in them. Those below will enjoy.

Default I think R32 are as fast as the stock S4

The mag reviews didn't have them going that fast, but, I read someone posted 13.9 something...

Faster. Allegedly as fast as 13.2 in the 1/4 mi but prolly closer to 13.5-13.7 avg.

Yah, but I'm not stock, and I could still use more speed ;-)

Default 0-60 in 7.something isnt as fast as the s4 stock.

the r32 takes 3 shifts to get to 60. a lot of time lost in the 1/4

It's also not AWD - probably loses a bit of traction with poor drivers
