It also says the 0-60 time is 6.4 seconds. Isn't this the time of a the 225 coupe as well?

Yeah but Audi has been understating performance numbers lately

They're claiming 5.6 to 60 for the B6 S4 and it has been tested at 4.9.

yes, the number Audi gives means everyone is capable of achieving!

and of course, like CarbonFibre said, some pros can get better times in testing!

Yeah well they have always done this. A lot of times are not very realistic though...

I trust Road and Track times a lot more than other mags like Motor Trend because R&T does runs in both directions and then averages the two times while Motor Trend seems to simply take their best time (I don't know if they do or not but it looks this way).
