Default S4 vs. E46 M3 vs. C32 article! not a bad review (m)

But it doesnt seem like they had enough seat time. And they only used OEM data for performance, Cause the S4 doesnt run 6.0... And the MB doesnt stop better than the M3.<ul><li><a href="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1316555&a=12436553&f=0">S4 vs. M3 vs. C32...</a></li></ul>

Yeah, I saw that as well about the Al. I know its just mis-info though... Just as a few mags state that the Sport mode changes the steering as well, but it doesnt... At the Detroit show they had an engine on display out of the car and you could tell that there was no Al on that bad boy block. Ill try to scan the pic today.

And yes, I cant wait!!! Its worse than when I was a kid waiting for X-mas...
But only 55 days left till pick up...... Not that im counting... =) Ive waited a long time for a car like this, not too shabby for my 1st car...

You sure about sport mode and steering? It changes the steering response on the M5...

Default I wondered about the Al block...

http://www.purplecar.org/s4/s4-pics.htm has a scanned copy of my Audi S4 brochure.
