Default how fast are these AUDI S4

was at the stop light and newer BLUE S4 got next to me and starts to rev... i gave him the nod and return it with my cutout 1.....2.....3.... light turns green.. BAM.... here i am doing burn outs in front of everyone and that AUDI is gone... i hit 2nd...starting to catch up.. hit 3rd.... and he puts on his hazard light on.. i LOST~

lesson learned... GET NITTOS~!~~~!!! and practice my launch...

those AUDI S4s are not too bad... esp newer version with v8 in it...

Yeah I made the same mistake, except the guy wouldn't race me from a dig only from a roll. Well he whipped my *** by around 2-3 cars through 2nd and once I got into third I started to catch up and of course he stops. But yes, they are pretty fast.

I played with one on the freeway in the SRT. I had one passenger and I pulled maybe a 1/2 car in third and a car in 4th. He was pretty cool and actually tipped me off he was getting a reading on his radar and sure enough there was Buford T. Justice up ahead.

I hate the whole FLASHERS thing though.

The S4 is AWD and the current model is a 340HP +- V8. The older ones had a 270HP TTV6. The A4 is FWD and optioned with the 3.0 V6 and the 1.8T.

Old S4 was only a chip away from 300awhp from what I hear. My buddy has one (Stock). Nice car, dash looks like a ****** F14 cockpit though, I've never seen more buttons and red lights and readouts and ****.

Havn't seen a new one yet.

I'm pretty sure all Audis are AWD though, not just the S-series cards. I think that's their claim to fame.

I don't think they're all AWD.....remember...they say Quattro when they are AWD except for the S-Series where it is part of the package.

You can get FWD, but 99% of them are AWD.....or maybe that's just here in Canada.

Almost all audi's are quattro's.

You can get an A4 that's fwd, but what's the point?

They're pretty fast. I passed one on the highway once and he came flying by. I guess he was already racing. Well, I got on it a little in 5th thinking that it wouldn't be that fast. I think I was running 80 when he passed me. I was surprised to see that I he was stilling pulling away. So I dropped to 4th and then I was able to chase him down and pass him. Then I looked it up on the internet when I got home to see what the heck it was.
I've always liked Audis and those S4's are sharp.

The new S4's run around 13.5's stock. I don't know what type of mods are available but a stock LS1 should do ok, let alone one that is modded. Put it in this perspective , a new E46 M3 is faster all the way around. Now are you sure you didn't race an RS6. These are 12.5's from the factory, 450 hp, very nasty car, only a few tenths slower than the E55 AMG. Even modded Ls1's would have there hands full with this car, unless running cams and or heads.

the older s4's can get a chip that seriously bumps their hp from 270 to 315. I raced a chipped S4 when I just had the corsa, headers, y pipe, and intake. It pulled on me off the line but I was slowly reeling him in, and then passed him.

I owned an '01 S4 for about 3 weeks (long story, sold back to dealer).

HP is actually 250 stock, not 270 and I believe they run more like low 14s stock.

Mine had an MTM chip and was supposedly making 300. It definitely fealt like it. It was a cool car. You can do some seriously stupid **** with it and not get in trouble. The stock turbos are junk in them and burnout easy. They also can't make much more than about 320. With larger turbos sky is the limit.

All S4s are AWD, but not all A4s.

My cousin has an 04 S4, and that thing is quick...and it is the 4.2L v-8 with AWD...launching that car is amazing but where it really shines is on the road course.
