The Z blows the S4 away in every aspect except in raw power but not after you tune the Z.

Handling is amazing. It hugs the corners like theres no tomorrow and the seats keep you right in your place.

The tranny is so smooth and the shifting is effortless.

I love my S4 just as much as any guy here but the Z is a true sports car. I lived every moment of it.

Oh and mods are cheap to boot. Eric was telling me how DPs are 350 and headers are 450. We get ripped off fellas.

I think im getting me a Z!

Default But wont a Z get roasted by modded S4 in a strait line?

I have gone up against a few on the freeway...and I pulled away everytime....

I did not buy my S4 with the illusion that it would handle or shift better than a true sports car. The S4 is the All Around package.

Default A stock Z will get toasted by a modded S4 but once you tune the Z theres no stoping it...

Theres a few twin turbo kits in development as we speak.

Default oh yeah...blown...I have no doubt it would kick ***...

but what can you do while keeping it NA? Increase displacement? Port and polish? Headers and exhaust wont get you that much of a gain on an already well tuned car like the Z.
