I hear you, those things are quick... Thought the launch would break the seats...
We took it out to the dragstrip, Very fast. Low end torque was literally "breath-taking". Surprisingly, it wasn't light-years faster than my slightly moded TT at the track. It was pulling consistent low to mid thirteens, but I'm sure it would have been in the 12s at another 1/4 mile track..

Agh.. I did some runs against my friends x-chipped S4 a little while ago..
Even with just a chip they are fast as hell.. His x-chipped S4 pulls pretty hard on my car.. With the amount of torque they are making you get thrown in the seat.. its just nuts..

S4's are amazing on the highway
I could pretty much keep up with a Corvette 80-100, and I was a little surprised to find that a crotchrocket couldn't seem to pass me from 100 to 120 (total open, dry road).
I don't expect my new TT to be able to do those things, not meant for it. Doesn't mean I can't aspire............HELLO APR........STG 3 225????

I would definitely want more - but it would probably be a bad thing, I hope y friend doesn't ...
kill himself or anyone else in this german demon, he is only 20 and the temptation to drive like a maniac is too great to resist, especially at that age.

Against the K04S4 YUP. Getting on a a freeway onramp..
He had an extra passenger so it wasn't exactly evenly matched. My TT was right on em' Then again, if I had an extra passenger, Im sure it would have been a different story as well. We shut down at about 100mph which isn't much different than the 1/4 mile. I'm sure that after 100mph the S4 (even with the extra body) would have put some serious distance between his rear bumper and my front end. Either way, I was pleasantly surprised that my simple bolt-ons were able to keep close with an S4 with $7000 worth of upgrades (at least through 100mph).
I've raced the same S4 when it was stock and blew his doors off. In my opinion, stock S4s aren't all that impressive, the change comes when they're chipped or K04'd They have enormous potential.
