Default Poll: How many of you would NOT buy the next S4 if it only had 300HP but would if it came with 340?

I'm just curious if you guys feel like I do about the next gen S4. I a bit afraid that Audi isn't gonna put decent power behind the next S4. Most rumors have stated 340HP but I've recently heard a few rumors stating only 300HP.

I don't want a car that's just slighty more powerful then the current S4. For me, 300-330HP would be too little and I would have a hard time buying the next S4 if it had less than 340HP. I want a car like the E46 M3 that "out of the box" with decent power, handling and braking. is that too much to ask?

And let's not forget you'll soon be able to buy a Passat with 300HP! :/

I would probably not. Have to see what the performance numbers would be.

The way some of the 2.7t engines are ending up, the new S4 would need 400hp to be tempting.

If it'll weigh more than 3700lbs and not hit a 1/4 faster than the current ones (stock), I'll pass

Default yep.. And at 300HP and less torque the new S4 would be hard pressed to match it's current #s

heck even at 340HP I don't think it would be ALL that much faster. Maybe 5.0 0-60 if we're lucky (which is where most chipped S4s are at).
